Late November. Photo of the Week #61

Today November showed itself from the bleakest, wettest, and darkest side but yesterday was a beautiful and sunny day that ended in the most Turneresque dusk with a Cheshire cat moon above and all the quietude you could dream of. I saw it with my mum and aunt from the grounds around the small manor [...]

By demagoguery I mean demagoguery

After having just given a paper at a conference I enjoy the freedom of having my evenings off. I keep thinking I should be doing something and then I realise that, no, I don’t have to do anything but watch House M.D. and episode after episode of it. And then I did a little YouTube search [...]

November. Photo of the Week #58

First day of my least favorite month. Ugh. November. And of course today was grey, windy and cold. But I got to eat brunch with a great friend and that’s what one should do. Eat.

Apples. Photo of the Week #52

It seems that the Danes are returning to tasty varieties of apples instead of just those shiny and huge ones that last forever. Until recently Granny Smith seemed to be the only apple around but now you can get Discovery, Ingrid Marie, Gråsten (Gravenstein), Cox Orange, Filippa and others. I think it’s wonderful to find [...]

French Bulldogs

This one is for my sister who is dreaming about having a French bulldog. And I just found two for her. One is a puppy posted in a Copenhagen jewellery shop where it gets petted by customers and then sleeps completely knocked out on its back. The truly cute thing about this dog is its [...]

Rain and wind. Photo of the Week #51

This has more or less been the general mood these last few days – especially if you add some wind:

I saw this door handle in Lübeck, Germany last year, and I find it quite charming. Crossing my fingers for the weekend…I will not accept October weather in September. No, no.
