This weekend we have been enjoying our last few quiet, domestic days in Denmark before heading back to Aus for a few weeks. We did our first ever Parkrun, followed by some more pier swimming. Post-swim we unintentionally ordered an ice cream at Lydolphs Isbar that was so 'generous' that even sharing it was an ordeal. A highlight was overhearing a woman who made a … Continue reading Tage toget til Louisiana
Category: Mundane details about our new life
Næsten som om sommeren…
I've still got some photos from the last few weeks piled up, but to hell with chronology - I'm going to skip straight to some pics from the last few days that have given me reason to be optimistic about summer in Denmark. Let's see whether posting about glorious mid-20 degree days will ease or exacerbate the dismay I'm feeling now … Continue reading Næsten som om sommeren…
Exchanging a foreign driving licence in Denmark
If you aren’t a recent immigrant to Denmark then probably just skip this post entirely – this is a local post for local people, there is nothing for you here. Our usual service focusing on seasonal baked goods and statues with gratuitous bosoms will resume shortly. Up until recently, expats with Australian, US or Canadian … Continue reading Exchanging a foreign driving licence in Denmark
Klatring og vandrer planløst
We are slowly trying to resume something that looks like a normal life here, and so that means finding a climbing gym. The good news is we found a really awesome one in Refshaleøen (Københavns Klatrecenter Blocs & Walls). The bad news is its in Denmark, so to do anything except bouldering we need a special Danish safety … Continue reading Klatring og vandrer planløst
Den sorte sol
Our last mission in Ribe was to see the 'black sun' formed when a murmuration of starlings circles in the sky at sunset before landing for the night in beds of reeds. Yes, a murmuration is apparently the collective noun for starlings. I can see myself getting that as a trivia question one day and not being able … Continue reading Den sorte sol
Flytte hus
I am writing this well rested because just over a week ago we gathered our belongings, said goodbye to our raucous friends outside Cosy Bar, nimbly avoided all the inevitable vomit hazards from the night before, and hopped in a taxi to our new place. En route the taxi driver picked up on Ant's interest in an advert for … Continue reading Flytte hus
Flere skrald tegn!
Everyone is going to think I spend all my time skulking around the bins, but this is a really important update on the last post so I'll take that risk... Great news! We've finally worked out which bin the flamingos go in: Thank god. They were really starting to pile up in here, and the shrimp … Continue reading Flere skrald tegn!
Billedet og virkeligheden
This post is dedicated to the people who have stoically read this blog and kindly asked whether København is really as pretty as the photos would imply. Yes! Of course it is. It's super smukke*. Would I lie to you, on the internet of all places? I will, however, show you what the majority of my mad photography … Continue reading Billedet og virkeligheden
Foregribelse!
OH EM GEE you guys - it's finally the day! No, thank YOU, eternally captivating furniture delivery video... Given that our shipping container doesn't arrive until tomorrow, this will be the only piece of furniture we actually have at this point. Scandi minimalism - totally nailing it.
Omkring vores nabolag
Given that we don't have bikes yet, most of our exploring has been confined to the areas near our flat. We've spent a lot of time around Nørreport Station and up near the Lakes. These areas are lovely and busy and interesting, so it isn't exactly a hardship... Apparently the busiest railway station in the country The … Continue reading Omkring vores nabolag
