Giant penis in public

Someone had fun making this giant penis and hanging it in a public place for people to admire. It definitely brings out the smile.

Saturday opening of new beach bar

Sometimes things turn out better than you expected. Last saturday was one of those days where you wan't to relive that day over and over again like "Ground hog day" just with the minor detail that there was nothing to improve! A long day with friends on the beach and a long night with more friends seeing the sun go down ...and up again. Not bad at all.

Bare flesh parade and cow parade

Nothing like bare flesh to lighten up a rainy saturday, not that many half-naked men though but what the heck - you still get a bit excited when listening to samba rythms and seeing happy faces defying the weather. Cow parade doesn't quite have the same effect on you but it is still fun to see wacky and wicked cows in all disguises. The cow dressed in bathing clothes standing on its two back legs really made me laugh, it looks so blessfully happy and content.

The first virgin summer wine

A day like today is a reason to celebrate life, the sun has been shining from the early morning and even stayed warm and inviting for us office slaves that swarmed the streets at 17 o'clockdesperately seeking a sunny spot. I thus managed to enjoy 3 hours of sun and had the first glass of wine with lime for 8 months - a tradition that goes long back shared by my friend Bettina and I. Halleluja!

Playtime

Playing petanque in the spirit of old french men gathering around their national sport measuring the distance between the balls and discussing this is quite fun actually. After a hot day at work I had a couple of rounds of petanque in a nearby park and petanque lane. I wouldn't think it was too seeworthy but we ended up having audience in the shape of a middleaged man with a strong beer (I guess in case the game would get a bit too boring) so we felt quite proffesional.

Yet another trip

Another saturday has passed, howcome that day always seem to go faster than any other day?!! Saturday is indeed a fabulous day. This time we changed our saturday habits slightly - very daring of us we thought - and went to Roskilde to see the city, talk dirty about funny-looking people and sleep on a pier. With us we brought Piupiu - the small yellow bird who permanently looks like life is splendid and the funny thing is that it is contagerous - there is no way you can be grumpy when looking at this little happy-go-lucky guy. Who needs chocolate, prosac or other stimuli when you can simply buy a Piupiu...

a fieldtrip - getting to know your country as a starters

Now that summer has come I have made it my mission to get to know my country a bit better, broughten my horizon a bit and go places I haven't been before - and starting with the nearby cities seem a comfortable goal. So 2 weekends ago we packed our bags, bought a coffee and bread afterwhich we literally jumped a train and left for Helsingør. Not quite an exotic city but very relaxing and nice. The week after we did the exact thing (even bought the coffee and the bread the same place - some much for broadening our horizons) and went to Odense, the place where H.C. Andersen was born. We somehow managed to make time for a nap on a bench both weekends, it is not that we are that old though but nothing beats a 20 minuts powernap in the sun. Nevertheless, it is a relief to come back to good old Copenhagen at night and end up sitting in the couch watching late night films. As the Danish saying goes: ude godt hjemme bedst (something like "being other places is nice but at home is best")
