Oh happy day
This morning when I woke up from my deadly, heavy sleep I actually thought it would be one of those dreadful days, where it’s impossible to wake up and you never get any of those thousands of things needed to be done. But to my surprise the sun is shining leaving me hopeful and happy (having the day off university probably didn’t hurt either). So apart from doing my homework (later, later) I’ve time to enjoy the silence of the sunshine, my home-grown chilies and the beautiful flowers from my significant other.
Tuesday Was a Good Day.
Just went for a great walk with P & the new baby in the forest. The sun was (still is) shining, and it was beautiful.
And we both enjoyed watching all the joggers while eating cakes on a bench.
Now; onto making fish burgers for S and Ks better half (we miss you).
Tuesday It’s okay
Monday morning. Autumn makes me happy.
Finally the proper autumn has arrived. It’s a season just in my taste. Layers upon layers of clothes, scarves, leaves blowing around, wind, beautiful sunlight, staying in having coffee, cake and knitting.
We did a massive fall-cleaning yesterday, and today my focus is all on my BA and the house meeting we’re having later today. It’s going to be a good (and busy) week. Because I say so.
Friday Off for the weekend

Any minute now my dad is arriving. We’re going to spend the day together, waiting for Boyfriend to get off work, and then we’re leaving for home. I can’t wait to go home.
This week has been odd. I feel like I’ve been in some strange state of numbness. I haven’t been able to get much done, and I space out so easily. I’ve even skipped several classes, and somehow it doesn’t seem to affect me. Needless to say, I need and want to go home, to get out of Aarhus.
I might be back later this weekend – I want to say that I won’t blog, but I really miss it, when I’m not here!
Sunday Autumn
Photo from Oct. 2005
With fall coming there are so many things that I miss..
Once I went on a long walk out near the old hospital at home to do photographs. It was mid-october, very moist and cold, but absolutely beautiful. And I managed to take some of the most beautiful photos with my small compact digi cam. The scent of moist leaves and nature, the cold air, the quiet.. I miss autumn, and I’m actually happy that it’s almost here.
I miss being at home the most. All the small things we do and don’t do. Everything is good when I’m at home.
I miss baking and cosying up with friends, chatting and giggling forever. And I miss doing photography. (Our friend H is coming by tonight, though, to use our flat for a shoot. Can’t wait to see what he does with it!)
And I would love to have a quiet sunday, reading newspapers, watching all the silly cooking shows on tv that I like so much (it makes me feel calm and safe), having a nice dinner in the dark, having coffee that tastes just as it does at home. But we have so many things to get done (putting up curtains, book shelves, cleaning, BA-project..) that it’ll just have to wait.
Thursday Come fall
By now you can actually smell the autumn in the air. I guess I got caught in waiting for summer, because it came very unexpected. It’s as well been quite a while since I’ve been home to visit my parents. And I miss them and it. I love being at my parents’ house in the summer. It’s magical.
ps. And yes, we watched English crime shows on the balcony this summer! Summer heat, crime shows and white whine, nothing compares!
