At blive overmandet! - To become overpowered!

Der kom en pose med en kanelsnegl og overmandede min kalender! Men vi klarede den! Det var total overgivelse!
Hav en rigtig dejligt weekend.

A bag with a cinnamon roll overpowered my calender! But we made it! It wasa  total surrender! Have a great weekend!

Vesterhavet - The North Sea

Et af mine favoritsteder er Vesterhavet oppe i det nordlige Jylland, som vi besøgte på et tidspunkt i dag, hvor der var ophold i regnen. Så bliver jeg bare nødt til at komme ud og soppe og få hjernen blæst igennem, som en af mine bedste venner gør her.

One of my favorite places is at The North Sea at the Nothern part of Jutland, which we visited today, when the rain stopped. Then I just have to go and dip my feet and let the wind blow my mind free, like one of my best friends does here.

Skønne søndag - Wonderful Sunday

Afslapning i skønne omgivelser! Og så kender

jeg en, der laver smuk mad! Håber at I har det lige så dejligt som mig!

Relaxing in beautiful surroundings!

I know someone, who makes beautiful food!

Hope that you feel as good as I do!

Ferie start - Holiday Start

På vej til Jylland i tog bevæbnet med kaffe og ferielæsning om en stor personlighed, der havde stor indflydelse på modeverdenen.

On my way by train to Jutland 'armed' with coffee and holiday reading about a big personality, who had major influence in the fashion world.

Fotokursus - Photography Course

Med mit 'nye' kamera fulgte et kursus i, hvordan man håndterer det, og da jeg af flere grund har fået det udsat nogle gange, deltog jeg først i går.
Jeg kan godt lide at være på skolebænken, for selvom man ofte føler, at man klarer sig godt, er det sjældent, at man ikke får noget med sig hjem, som man kan bruge.
Det var også tilfældet i går. Læreren var passioneret og underholdende. Ikke mindst fordi han ikke gjorde meget ud af at gøre det enkelt. Man kan aldrig lære for meget.
Det foregik på IT-universitetet lige ved siden af DR Byen i Ørestaden. Det er en meget moderne, lidt død bydel om aftenen , men der er masser af muligheder for at tage billeder. Bl.a. af kunstværket 'Receiver' og minder lidt om en mellemting af et æg og en golfkølle.

Jeg er den lille fede blop i midten!

I am the little fat blob in the middle!

In the deal with my 'new' camera came a 'how-to-handle' course, and for several reasons I have had it postponed several times. Finally I went yesterday.
I like being 'at school', because even if you feel, that you are doing well, most times you pick up new things, that makes other things easier and smarter.
And we had a good teacher yesterday. He was passionate and entertaining. And he didn't make things more difficult than necessary.
The course took place at the IT university, in the part of the city where also Denmark's Radio (Danish Broadcast in general) is. It is a very modern part of Copenhagen, and it is a bit 'dead' at night, which newly built areas often are. But there are lots of possibilities for taking photos.
One of the art works there is 'The Receiver', which looks like a mix of a big egg and a golf club.

Arbejd'-arbejd' - Busy, Busy

Der knokles her. Jeg skal være færdig med en stor dynge arbejde inden i morgen aften, for på torsdag tager jeg til Jylland til nogle venner, hvor jeg skal slappe af i 5 dage.
Jeg ved, at der er lagt planer for nogle ture, og en af dem er at tage til Vesterhavet, som jeg elsker. At være der giver ro i hovedet.

Work! I have to finish a big pile of work before tomorrow night. On Thursday I am going to Jutland to visit friends and relax for 5 days.
I know that they have planned some trips around the area, and one of them is going to the West coast, which I love. To be there brings peace of mind.

Sidste sommer-shopping - Last Summer Shopping

Eller det tror jeg i hvert fald! Jeg faldt for 2 blå bluser, der matcher rigtig meget i min garderobe, og det er begge ting, som jeg kan bruge med en cardigan eller en jakke, når det bliver koldere. Den med de korte ærmer er kombineret t-shirt og bluse i to forskellige materialer med en rynke-effekt i siderne.

Or at least I think so! I fell for these 2 blue tops, which both match a lot in my closet, and they are both items, I can use with a cardigan or a jacket, when it becomes colder. The one with the short sleeves is a combined t-shirt and blouse in two kinds of materials with a ruffle effect in both sides.

Værtindegave - Present for the Hostess

Jeg er jo lidt svær at give gaver, men blomster er altid velkomne (og god chokolade!) Og grønne planter. Somme tider går de ud, og urtepotteskjuleren bliver normalt givet videre. Men ikke denne her. Den er jeg lidt forelsket i.

 

It is a bit difficult to give me gifts, but flowers are always welcome (and good chocolate!). Also green plants. Sometimes they die, and the cachepot is given away. But not this one. I am a bit in love with it.

Fernisering - Vernissage

I morgen åbner udstillingen 'Mit Landskab' på Gammelgård Kulturcenter i Herlev, hvor jeg bor. Det er den årlige sommerudstilling, hvor alle beboere i Herlev kan indlevere malerier. Mit billede bliver udstillet sammen med malerskolens, og det bliver sjovt at se alle de forskellige tolkninger af emnet.

Det har været svært at fotografere, da bunden er belagt med bladguld

It has been difficult to take a good photo, as it is covered with gold leaf

Tomorrow the exhibition 'My landscape' opens at our local cultural center in the city, where I live. It is a returning exhibition, where all persons in the community can send a painting. My painting will be exhibited together with all the paintings made by the students from the painting school, and it is going to be fun to see all the interpretations of the subject.

For meget planlægning - Scheduling too much

Min kalender er lige blevet renset! Renset for ting, som jeg synes, at jeg bør gøre. Renset for påmindelser om ting, jeg gerne vil gøre. Så nu står der kun de ting, der skal gøres, de ting jeg skal deltage i og de ting, jeg vil deltage i.
Jeg prøver hver dag at leve så enkelt som muligt, men jeg skal holde meget fast i mig selv for ikke at overplanlægge. For ikke at 'løbe tingene op' og hele tiden se, hvad der kommer i morgen, i næste uge, næste måned.
I dag startede det med at rense kalenderen.
Det gjorde godt.

Elvis, min undulat, står altid på bordet, når jeg arbejder

Elvis, my budgie, is always with me at the table, when I am working

My calendar has just been rinsed. Rinsed for thing, which I felt, I should do. Rinsed for reminders of things I would like to do. So now it only contains the things, which must be done, the things I really have to do, and appointments I want to participate in.
Every day I try to make things as simple as possible, but I have to hold on to myself for not 'over-planning'.
I have to be aware not to 'run to the future' to think about what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month.
Today started with rinsing my calendar.
It felt good.
