Welcome to my Sunday breakfast:

Pineapple, apple juice, tea, and rice pudding with cinnamon and butter, the latter being a Christmas favourite among Danes. In the background you see the advent gift I got from my mother – one for each Sunday in December, lucky me. This contained a beautiful star to hang in my window.

I have always enjoyed crowd watching, especially in museums.

Last night Rio de Janeiro was granted the 2016 Olympic Games at the IOC session here in Copenhagen. And, oh my, has the police been going crazy about all those crowned heads and heads of state visiting – just too many heads to protect I guess. They have been driving around in their big blue [...]
