A little music for Scott´s assignment

Once again an assignment has been arranged by Scott Thomas, this time with the subject “The rules of thirds”. Deadline was yesterday, I haven´t had time for joining it, so I will let this musician play a tune while Scott draw the winner of the price, and write the traditional recap. Always an interesting read.

A new and energy efficient year

January is usually a very dark and colorless month. And cold. January this year does not seem to try being different in any way, I would say it tries to please this statistic by being more dark and more boring than the other January´s. On top of this, saving bulbs have taken over the Danish bulb marked, and the EU law made it impossible to get a good old incandescent bulb. A dark winter and saving bulbs…why not just sleep until spring.

You should see how many bulbs we have bought and tested until now, in an attempt to find one with a decent light. I suppose  we will find one some day, the industry comes out with new models all the time, but until then, we are living in the energy efficient dark.

Strange Danish behaviour around New Year

I´ve just heard from CNN that Danes enjoy themself at New year eve by throwing dishes at the frontdoor of their neighbors, – an act that are supposed to mean friendship *1)  If you should ever be celebrating a New Year here, do not try to make friends by throwing dishes, you will get a very lonely evening, and a lot of enemies.

If you avoid the temptation of throwing your dishes, and instead of this decide to use them for a New Year menu, don´t make   ”Kale with sprinkled sugar and cinnamon with white sauce”, *2) people will use any excuse to leave your party, and you´ll have to eat it all by yourself. Bon appetite.

Marzipan ring cake and champagne  is a must at 12 o´clock.  That is for sure.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
