C’s sister is visiting at the moment. Everything is going great except Mark is insisting on calling her ‘Mormor’ (grandmother) instead of ‘Moster’ (auntie).

Garage – man vs woman – Part 2
Posted in Denmark on Sep 14th, 2011
As mentioned in the post before, we moved to a new house recently. Our old one was a tiny row-house with little room and possibly even smaller garden. We really needed more space with one kid and another one on its way. We moved in about 14 days ago and we’re both pretty happy with […]
Garage – man vs woman – Part 1
Posted in Denmark on Sep 11th, 2011
Moved to a house recently. With garage, lawn and all. This evening C asked me where I put our 2nd vacuumcleaner she left in the garage. “I stored it under the work table in the garage – I thought it was a spare now?”, I replied. “No – Its for vacuuming the garage”, she replied. […]
Here in Denmark a slight sense of panic is witnessed in the media. It turns out that some vegetables (especially cucumbers) from Northern Germany and Spain have been infected with a dangerous coli bacteria. Nothing to be taken lightly as it already killed 10+ people in Germany and made plenty of Danes very ill. The […]
Silenced by myself
Posted in Denmark on May 22nd, 2011
What do you write, when you have loads on your mind, but it’s too personal? The answer is: nothing. You may have figured that already if you looked for new entries here lately. It’s not like I’m dying or anything, but somehow dice of life just rolled an extravaganza of challenges the last 1½ years […]
More blogging when done…
Posted in Denmark on Apr 16th, 2011
Finally a machine where you sucessfully can use the Jedi-Mind-Trick-Wave and it actually works.
Here’s C preparing for tomorrows oral exam. Its one of 2 final exams she has pass to graduate as social caretaker. It’s been 2 years since she started and she has studied harder than any Dane I know would have. Still she’s very nervous, which may affect her performance. She know this, and it makes […]
In attempt to teach our kid some Chinese, C got hold of some VCDs with Chinese children’s songs. Actually calling them ‘Chinese’, may be overdoing it, since many of the melodies are oddly recognizable to me (like Jinglebells for one). Anyway, the lyrics are in Chinese, and that good enough for the purpose. Yesterday, as […]
Natures wonder

It may not be South Pole cold here, but we did have a long period of freezing days. Shot one morning when I was preparing the car before we went to work/daycare.
Well-wishings for the holidays

Merry X-mas everyone!
Nah, not really. Information doesn’t have any opinion. WikiLeaks have opinions. They want information to be free. Well except information that hurt themselves. That’s just harmful and evil. But please – please don’t blame the information. Poor old thing. But information REALLY wants to be free?! Well so does my Willy, but that doesn’t mean […]
Thats all folks!
Posted in Denmark on Nov 29th, 2010
Just lost one of our 2 rabbits yesterday. Not sure what was wrong but it was surely heading for a slow death, so we decided to speed things up. I sent C upstairs while I finished it off after advice by my brother. He’s a hunter and knew how to do it fast and humane. […]
We’re still crossing our fingers
Posted in Denmark on Nov 16th, 2010
After 9 months of interrupted sleep during the nights it seems Mark finally started sleeping through the night. Our fingers are crossed big time though. Its only day 4 of that happening and you never know if he has a relapse. Prospects look good so far though. So what did the trick? It’s a mix […]
As promised in an older post, here’s the picture of one of the gifts we got for our boy. It’s a pair of “special” Chinese pants:
Temporary setback
Posted in Denmark on Oct 29th, 2010
No time to write these days. Got my hands full with serious illness in the family. Might write more about it when I get above water level again.
When you’re married to a Chinese woman here in Denmark, you are bound to have tried something like this: 5.30pm the phone rings while you’re almost done cooking dinner. It’s your wife’s Chinese friends, who’s just in the neighborhood and wants to come around. If we lived in C’s hometown that’s would be quite all […]
Saturday morning C was moaning about the flexibility of barbershops here in Denmark. I understand her woes. I china she used to walk into the nearest barbershop and get a haircut right away. That’s rarely the case in Denmark. Here you make an appointment in advance. 1 day before, would probably not be enough. Later […]
This can’t be a healthy buzz
Posted in Denmark on Sep 16th, 2010
If you’re this drunken 7.45am on a Thursday morning, you might want to revise your lifestyle. Snapped with my cell phone while driving to work. This guy was alarmingly drunk and decided it was clever to walk towards traffic on a 60km/h street looking enraged and gesturing wildly to oncoming traffic. Behind him, out of […]
The dark side is getting a hold on me
Posted in Denmark on Sep 10th, 2010
I could have sworn I’d be cold as freaking ice, but seems I’ve slowly morphed into your average pathetic parent. Today I watched Mark crawl for the first time and almost got all teary-eyed. Dammit! 1 day before his 7 month birthday the little bugger decided to crawl his first meter. And to reach what? […]
