Stayed in bed chillin’ listening to Junior Delgado all morning after my funny night out. Got up to drive to Greenwich Park for Jessie’s Mother Jo’s 65th birthday party. It was a beautiful day with music in the bandstand, snacks and prosecco. Just as we were leaving the heavens opened and we scurried to get everything packed up. This is a cute but terrible photograph of the birthday girl 🥰
Getting up early on a Sunday to go to work.
Great shift with great colleagues
A very long story but the shorter version is…I got catfished…but had a Plan B so swiveled that bullshit around and had a very funny, successful and highly entertaining evening with a bass player from Junior Delgado including dancing in Canada Water to his band, dinner in Finsbury Park and groovin’ in The Chip Shop, Brixton. Very proud how I turned that dull disappointment around 💪🏼🥰 *****
Weekend shift, so back at Rigshospitalet for a Saturday dayshift. A gloomy and rainy day with cosy thunder and Lightning outside.
A good shift despite being a bit busy.
Drove to my parents in Berkshire to see how they are *****
Morning training at the Dojo, then a day off chilling and meeting up with a friend for mocktails at Langelinie pretending I’m still on holiday.
Passing through this Elephant gate near my home when bicycling to Langelinie.
Yoga time. And this beautiful wild poppy managing to grow out of the pavement as I walked home 🥰 *****
After work, aikido training. It was hot and humid, so after training we had melon sodas and sake.
Walked the Camel Path with Otto to check out where Jo Knight’s house is, as a little expedition. Then drove back to Plymouth stopping at a place that sells vans on the way to check out a couple of slightly larger vans..*****
Mixed weather with sun and rain showers. Had friends over for a light dinner after a nice day at work and a really lovely neck and shoulder stretching and breathing class at the hospital gym.
Took the boat across to Rock and hung out of the beach. After returning to Padstow we did a mini pub crawl ending in dinner.*****
Second day back at work and first day back at the Dojo after the holidays. Being back in Copenhagen means bicycling everywhere.
Drove to Padstow in Cornwall to meet up with Jessie for Sophie’s (her sister) birthday. Good times playing games and eating yum bbq. ****
Woken up by the beaming spotlight sunlight right in my face at 5 in the morning.
First day back at work, not too bad and great to see my colleagues.
It was this lady’s birthday at the weekend and she was sooo good with Otto. She retrained him to jump through a hoop and also to have cheese on his paws without eating it. Something I never predicted was the very special feeling inside when someone is kind to your pet. It literally melts me 🥰 *****
Last day of summer holiday. Letting this grasshopper out in the free before leaving the summerhouse and going back to the city.
Camping by The Pig’s Nose, East Prawle with friends and their friends. Saw The Allergies Saturday night. Had a fun day chilling under my awning in the morning with light rain, then the sun came out and we went to the beach. Fun weekend. *****
Doing some gardening and weeding in my flower bed and getting fascinated with the micro life under the bushes and greens.
Drove to East Prawle to meet up with friends from Exeter. Camping, relaxing. I walked down to the sea with Otto and had a skinny dip. Found a hair clip, saw a couple far ahead, clipped it to Otto’s collar and told him to give it to them. He ran as far as them but then came back. Gave up. Later on bumped into them and it is was her hair clip so could give it back. This was their photo of the view which they sent to me as I didn’t have my camera. Funny little random incident. The sort I love 🥰 *****
Back from Jutland and back in the summerhouse enjoying the warm summer night on the terrace.
A walk with my neighbour, Lucy. A pretty back lane door on the way to the park.
Visiting Peters mom in Durup, Jylland. Out for a little walk in the surrounding gardens.
A rubbish photo but the only one I have for today. I decided to make chicken satay from scratch for the first time. Met up with Paul for a drink so left it to marinade****
Back in Jutland in the ‘Jagtstue’ Hunting lodge/room
My sweet peas and geraniums doing a beautiful colour clash pop magic ****
In a ferry from Hundested to Rørvig, taking the scenic route to Hjerk, Jylland.
Had to catch 2 ferries to get there.
Went to the German embassy to sort my work visa for work in September …it unfortunately wasn’t where I was supposed to be so shouted Taaaaxiiii and jumped in a black cab to the right place half an hour away. Silly mistake and in my past I would have got stressed and probably cried. Today I took it in my stride. People are slowly dying in Palestine, this is nothing. Proud of reacting suitably. Sorted out my visa, took the bus back to the train station and had time to buy all sorts of yumminess for the journey back to Devon*****
Breakfast of champions; berries from the garden and freshly brewed coffee.
A full on day waking up, packing up my van, driving back to Plymouth, dropping Otto home, repacking, walking to the station, taking train to London, getting across London to Peckham to Jessie’s. Had such a fun night having a couple of pints at her cute local then her cooking the best yummy aubergine/rice/pickled ginger/avocado dish. A busy but fun day.*****
Quiet day at the summerhouse, chilling in the garden and having an evening visit from this deer creature.
A gorgeous walk through a forest down to Pepper Beach for exercise, pleasure and a swim. Back to continue the birthday celebrations where I took no photographs*****
Bicycling from Udsholt to Gilleleje and back with a little pitstop halfway at Gilberg hoved the most northern part of Sjælland.
Packed up again and drove up to Bex and Dave’s for Dave’s 50th weekend near Woolfardisworthy. A beautiful drive along mainly tiny back roads****
Planting a small flower bush in the summerhouse garden.
Walked to my studio. Realised despite looking by cloudy it was boiling so bought a (lovely) skirt in a charity shop (#gamechanger). Attempted to work but the remnants of the weekend made the only sensible thing to do was get in the sea. Which I did. Walked around after with Otto and then retreated home.*****
Udsholt Strand
Oops….another total chill day with Otto my perfect companion. Zero achievement here except managing not to beat myself up about it ****
10k run from Udsholt to Rågeleje.
A day walking and being very slow. The view from my room where I stayed all day ****
