The end







Yesterday M and I drove to Vesterhavet and went for a long walk. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Golden and cold.
It is becoming a tradition for me to say hello to that wide beach and wild sea, everytime I am home.
We drove back, and did nothing for the rest of the day. Perfect.

// I wish you all a wonderful New Year, and all the best for 2012.

A christmas to forget...

What a Christmas! I only just managed to open my (numbered) presents before it started. Spent christmas eve (and night. And morning) with my head in a bucket, being really really sick. Eight hours of misery I wouldn't even want my worst enemy to go through. Hopefully today I can eat for the first time in two days (fingers crossed).

Hope your christmases have been magical, relaxing and that you only had to see your christmas meal once...

First christmas present


Got an unexpected visit from M and M today. I got those two cups as an early christmas present.

My exam is tomorrow. I am nervous that they will ask a question I cannot answer.
Apparently it should help saying your fears out loud. So I did. Many times today.
I am nervous that they will ask a question I cannot answer. I am nervous that they will ask a question I cannot answer.

I has not helped...

Highlights of a grey Saturday



Pulled myself up from the heavy mess that is exam preparation, and had brunch with dearest A. In a month she lives here in Copenhagen. I look more forward to that than to Christmas Eve.

How to spend two days inside




I know your windows are very(!) dirty. But thanks to the building site, it won't pay to clean them..


Christmas lunch with work. Decorating. And preparing for exam. That was my weekend.

September 24th and 25th


I dont' know why it has taken me so long to write this post. Maybe it is because I have no good photos to accompany it. Or because this post will mark a final period to that weekend.

Well. The last weekend in September I was a hostess at the UCI Road World Championships, in Rudersdal. It was such a big event to be part of.
Saturday I worked in the UCI Lounge, where all 'big' people within the cycling world were. Work was such a small part of it. We watched cycling, talked to a lot of important men in suits, and got a ride in one of those cars following the riders around the race course. And for the finish I practically stood on the finish line.

Sunday was in a Golden Club Lounge- a lot different than Saturday. Work was stressfull, and people ate canapees as if they had not eaten for a week.
Sun was out all day, and Geels Bakke surely was an amazing sight. People from all around the world (and all of Norway, it seemed) were there, celebrating for ten - or more - hours, cheering when hundreds of kiloes of muscles raced past us! It was l o u d !

I often think about that weeekend. Where my inborn love for cyclingy truly was expressed. Where I met such kind and helpful people. And where I was part of something big and infinitely positive (this could be the ending of a cheesy novel).

Burnt. Not burnt. Burnt...




Sometimes. Matches need sorting.

Tumbler drier

I am so proud! Us two girls installed this baby all by ourselves ('installed' might be too big a world. It was more like. Plugging it into an outlet...)

Our bathroom looked like this afterwards, though...

Christmas




Two weeks ago I bought some stripy clothes. Have been wearing the sweater almost everyday since.
I have also enjoyed two guilty pleasures. Have watched Twilight Breaking Dawn, and been listening to this song way too many times.
Tuesday, we invited all of our friends over for some making-of-christmas-decorations, homemade æbleskiver and glögg.

I lost some imaginative weight


Thursday I handed in the last chemistry assignments. 13 in one week. I felt a bit like superwoman when I finished them all, two days prior to hand-in. Anyway, 10 kg lifted from my shoulders as I put the big pile of paper on an important desk.
Apparently I was so relaxed that I forgot to get off the train, on my way to work. So I sat there, trying not to let it show while repeating "be cool, be cool" inside my head... And on that note, why is it that when you are woken up by a phone call, your always hear yourself answering "no, not at all!" when the other end asks if you were asleep?

James Blake


I spent yesterday evening in the company of James Blake (and a couple of hundred other people, but never mind them)

Details of a regular Sunday




Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry. Not much else going on here.

on my nose. in my mouth.



I was the owner (well, borrower if it comes down to it..) of these pretty pretty glasses, over the weekend. Oh, if only I had $$$ they would live right here, on my nose.
Sunday, I had the best sandwich in the city. Gigantic and stuffed with confit de canard! Bread and meat (and greens only for the aesthetics) that is my kind of sandwich. I loved Copenhagen a little bit more, right there.
Had M over for tea, coffee, 'Borgen' and many many laughs.

Tuesday night


Tuesday I was a +1 for the first time in my life. And old friend and I saw Washed Out in concert. None of us had ever heard of them before, so luckily they were a nice surprise.

30.10.11

Yay!




Recieved a package yesterday, with copies of the CD I designed the artwork for. It is a strange feeling standing there with your own product in hand. It turned out really well.

These days



Acupuncture. Chinese medicine. No more headache. Doing nothing at all. Still feeling stressed. Spending hours in front of my piano.

All of us falling asleep to a movie, Saturday.
Sleepover both nights.
