Had a great meeting at MDM props, then walked back along the river popping into The Cutty Sark and The Trafalgar Pubs which had been recommended and the Great Hall at the Old Royal Naval College followed by pie and mash at the legendary Goddard’s. Dinner out with friends in the evening.*****
After a long day at work, and then outdoor aikido practice, it was lovely to go to the public spa in Østerbro.
Dinner by the river with Jessie and then we saw the new Wes Anderson film The Phoenician Scheme at the ridiculously expensive local cinema.*****
Reading books
Totally different sizes but Buddy and Otto playing for hours together in the garden.*****
Still went bicycling to work despite rainy weather in the morning. The sky looked dramatic, but cleared up for the bike ride home in the afternoon.
One foot in the West and one foot in the East. At the Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory. Greenwich*****
Picking up my fixed mountainbike at the bike shop in the woods.
It was really wet and raining a lot, but still went for a spin in the forest Hareskoven.
Drove up to London to housesit for friends. Walked round Greenwich Park and saw these beautifully dressed Muslim girls praying *****
The yearly family reunion, a get together of my mum’s sisters and my mum’s cousins.
Meeting up every year at some place of cultural interest historical or temporary, but always on Fyn or the tiny Islands around Fyn.
This year’s cultural input, Brandts Klædefabrik in Odense and this is part of a sensory labyrinth.
Studio day followed by an opening of a lovely photography exhibition by friend Tim Sullivan. Walked home via The Box and joined some friends for drinks in the sun and as we say more and more friends joined. It was fun. *****
BikStok røgsystem concert celebrating 20 year anniversary of the album “over stok og sten”. Went with my friend Christina and we had a great dance session and ran into my brother, also great.
So good to be able to walk again properly after my injured knee. Walking to the studio and painting everyday is my routine and am thoroughly feeling good about the Post Scotland era of painting.*****
Challenging day at work, but managed because of great and hard working colleagues.
Also managed to bicycle to work and later to Aikido without getting caught in the rain. A Big challenge in this ever changing pre-summer weather; Sun&showers, sun&showers etc.
I am a woman of my word. You can rely on me. I told Simon in Missouri I would have a pasty for him. Well the time came and this is it. The trouble is he’s Cornish. And this is going to really hurt….I had a Devonshire pasty for him. Up yours Simon 😂 (where’s the ‘V’ fingers emoji when you need it 😉?!)*****
Bought tickets for this Raveonettes concert at the Royal theater about 6 weeks ago which felt like a lifetime ago.
A good concert and great atmosphere.
Took my van to the garage for a new exhaust. It’s so much higher than the last one so very happy. Walked and sat by the water while it was done and discovered these cool discs displayed at various points ******
Had the day off, and needed to bring my mountainbike to the mechanics to fix the brake.
After turning the bike in, went on a long detour walk through Hareskoven (the Hare forest) to the train station Skovbrynet St (Edge of the wood station).
Rectifying yesterday’s distracted painting session…*****
Driving home from Jylland to Copenhagen, Sjælland.
Tough weekend with a lot of thoughts and difficult transitions and decisions, but also hope and a lifted spirit.
Storebæltsbroen brightly and colourfully lit this evening.
Walked to my studio listening to my latest playlist. Painted and was incredibly distracted by an artist in London. Left the studio and had a gorgeous catch up with my beautiful friend Sharon in her garden****
Getting through the day, despite a lot of tears. But also this little fella nibbling in the Garden grounds.
Hjerk, Jylland.
My friend Pippa came over. I needed to rest my knee but we had a lovely day catching up, having lunch and then a walk round Central Park. My knee wasn’t sore walking so hooray *****
A day of remembrance. Hjerk kirke.
Finally painted my bath panel. Instead of buying a boring (expensive) plastic panel I used a piece of ply. It isn’t finished but so far I like it ******
On a train to Hjerk Kirkeby, Jutland.
Home sweet home. Feels so good to be here after all my adventuring.****
Driving back from Hornbæk to Rigshospitalet. Today I have the observation duty, which means observing and nursing the patients coming straight back from percoutanious heartvalve replacement done in local anesthesia. Really sweet patients today and great chat with the patients even in this, a bit different setting.
Decided to try and drive home. I wasn’t sure if it was the correct decision for my knee but really wanted to be home. And the drive helped me, as travelling always does, sort my thoughts out. Managed to do a big food shop and got home and all felt better in the world *****
Teambuilding Day in Hornbæk. Went to the Beach to play ‘Rundbold’ (kinda of softball game).
It was too windy but still managed to build up spirits with a walk along the beach.
Ice, rest and write all your heart’s thoughts onto paper. I was meant to be driving home today but couldn’t drive as my knee was so sore ****
Day off, so went to my summerhouse to mow the lawn. Left these little daisies because they looked cute. After lawn moving and a nice run to the beach, I went to stay the night at my dad’s house, since his house is very close to the hotel I’m going to tomorrow for a team building day.
I’ve been best friends with Jo since we were 11. We have never run until recently. Today was our first run together. I felt pretty tired from everything I’ve been up to but wanted to run together so took it gently….but after the run my knee really started hurting…*****
An after work stroll through my neighbourhood on my way home to pack for a little trip.
A beautiful hot walk on the Downs with Jo and the pups. Took it gently after last night…Home for a swim and a hot tub. *****
First picture of the day at 04.17 in the morning, over half way into my nightshift.
Drove to Brighton to celebrate my best friend’s little brother’s 50th….I’m sure he used to be a lot of years younger than us but now he’s only 2 years younger! Had a fun party and got the punch going at 2 am to give everyone a second wind for dancing*****
Out for a stroll in a very nearby tiny park in brewer JC Jacobsens garden before going on a nightshift….
Back in the studio. Grabbed a huge piece of wood that was left behind by the previous artist and started painting. Had a great day in the studio. It feels like I have a lot of new work to come out *****
MTB in Hareskoven, this little area is called Mordor and it is always amazing to get out in the woods.
