Nu er det vist på tide at få lagt de sidste billeder fra ferien op.
Max og jeg havde selvfølgelig en fantastisk tur til hhv. Irland og England. Irland ligner jo England meget landskabsmæssigt og bebyggelsesmæssigt, og man føler ikke, at hverken Belfast eller Dublin er store byer før man ser dem fra oven. Jeg vovede hjulet i Belfast og i Dublin besøgte vi Guiness, som har et kæmpehøj bygning, hvor man kan se 360 grader ud over hele byen. Vi kørte i bil fra Belfast til Dublin langs kysten via Newcastle og rundt om bjergene. Det tog over 5 timer - hvor vi kunne have gjort det på under 2 timer, hvis vi havde kørt direkte, men det var en god oplevelse, og det var sjovt at køre i venstre side af vejen efter så mange år.
Now it is about time to get the last pictures from the holiday uploaded.
Of course Max og jeg had a terrific trip to Ireland and England. Irland looks a lot like England with regard to the landscape and the constructionwise, and you do not at all feel like Belfast and Dublin are in big cities before you see them from above. I felt like a daredevil in the Eye in Belfast and in Dublin we visited Guiness, which has a skyhigh building, where you can see the city in 360 degrees. We rented a car and drove from Belfast to Dublin along the coast via Newcastle and around the mountains. It took more than 5 hours - we could have done it in less than 2 timer, if we had driven the directly skyline, but it was a good experience and we enjoyed it. I also found it to be great fun to ride the left side of the road after so many year.

England
Det var godt at komme til England og hvile ud efter et meget hektisk år med flytning, renovering og involvering i Tommys liv med pasning og lidt ordning af småting i hans lejlighed og lidt ekstra stress i.f.m. turen til brylluppet i Serbien osv. Det blev til mange lange spadserture med hundene i Kenton, en tur til den berømte Dartmore hede, lange samtaler med Kim mens Sam og Josh måtte se deres computere overtaget af Max. Simon ydede lægehjælp til den trængte patient - jeg kommer altid med en eller anden form for mindre skavanker. Jeg lånte også Kims frisør, hvilket er det bedste jeg længe har gjort. Niki fik lige styr på lokkerne, så nu må vi se om min danske frisør kan gøre det efter.
I London havde Michele heldigvis fri for arbejdet nogle dage, så vi var bl.a. i Richmond Park med fly fra Heathrow hen over hovedet det meste af tiden. Et fantasktisk stort område også med vilde dyr. Papegøjerne har indtaget London - der er vist omkring 700, som man hører om dagen, hvilket virker meget eksotisk. Både Finnuala og Alana holdt Max beskæftiget - han var det store hit. Ligesom Simon arbejder Rodney mere eller mindre døgnet rundt. Vi var dog så heldige at se lidt til ham omkring måltiderne sent om aftenen.
Vi fejede Lens 80 års fødselsdag om lørdagen på toppen af OXO i London. Dejligt at være sammen med dem alle igen. Både Max og jeg føler os meget hjemme i England. Bagefter var vi på rundtur i London i en tourbus, som kunne sejle på vandet - en speciel oplevelse. Om søndagen var vi i teatret. Det var modvilligt at vi tog hjem igen.
It was good to get to England and rest efter a very hectic year with moving, renovation and engagement in Tommy's life with looking after and arranging some repairs and other little things in his apartment and some extra stress in connection with the wedding in Serbia etc. There were many long walks with the dogs in Kenton, a trip to the famous Dartmoore, long relaxing conversations with Kim while Sam and Josh had to watch their computers taken over by Max. Simon assisted with medical care to the patien in distress - I always arrive with some kind of minor defects. I also visited Kim's hairdresser, which was one of the best thing I had done for a long time. Niki got hold of the locks, so now I look forward to see if my danish hairdresse can adopt the style.
London Michele was fortunately off duty for at couple of days, and we visited among other things Richmond Park with the flights from Heathrow not far above our heads. An amazing great area with wild animals too. The perrots have invaded London - I think there is about 700, and you hear them during the day, which is very exotic. Both Finnuala and Alana kept Max occuppied - he was the big hit. Just like Simon Rodney works a lot, but we were however fortunate to see him shortly around the meals late in the evenings.
We celebrated Len's 80 years' birthday Saturday on top of the OXO building in London. Lovely to be with everyone again. Both Max and I feel very much at home in England. After the dinner we were sightseeing in London in a tourbus, which sailed on the river Themes - a speciel event. Sunday we went to a theater in London a watched a show. It was with great reluctance that we went back to Denmark.

Serbien/Serbia
Så er ferien forbi. Det skete lige pludselig en masse bl.a. en tur til Serbien - min søn Tommy skulle pludselig giftes. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse, og jeg er nu blevet svigermor til en køn og intelligent pige. Godt valg søn. Det er nogle fantastisk gæstfrie og søde mennesker, som pludselig er kommet ind i mit liv. Jeg havde 5 dage med mange indtryk - vielsen var selvfølgelig højdepunktet. Jeg er meget glad på Tommys vegne og kan se, at det har ændret hans liv positivt.
Nu håber vi bare at tiderne ændrer sig til det bedre, så I kan komme til Danmark.
Se billederne fra min ferie til højre.
The holidays are over. A lot of things happened suddenly among them a trip to Serbia - my son Tommy was suddenly getting married. It was an eventful trip, and I am now a mother in law to a pretty and intelligent girl. Good choise son. Some amazing and very sweet people have suddenly entered my life. I had 5 days with many impressions - the wedding ceremoni was of course the culmination. I am happy for Tommy and can see that it has changed his life in a positiv way.
Now we hope for better times so you can come to Denmark.

Male male male/painting paiting paiting


FØR/EFTER BEFORE/AFTER
Yes, så blev skuret endelig malet. Ester og jeg malede en hel eftermiddag (mest Ester for jeg skulle jo lave mad og hente papirer i Roskilde til Tommy, som gerne vil blive i Serbien). Tusind tak for hjælpe Ester - jeg bliver helt svedt ved at tænke på, hvor længe det ville have taget mig alene.
Yes, finally the shed is paited. Ester and I painted the whole afternoon (mostly Ester as I had to serve lunck and get papers in Roskilde for Tommy, who wants to stay in Serbia). Thanks a million to you Ester for your help - I get all sweaty thinking about how long it would have taken me to do the work all by myself.

Køkken/kitchen

Her er årsagen til mit udfald på håndværkere den 19. juni - det lille bord bagest i rummet. Det har kostet en formue og ligner hverken fugl eller fisk. Snedkeren satte det desuden op, så det sidder skævt, så det skal laves om, og firmet HTH må desuden komme med flere understøt-ninger, da det hænger på midten - vejledningen herfra ligger har været langt fra tilfredsstillende, så de skal nok ikke regne med flere ordrer fra mig. Jeg må tilstå, at selv min ihærdighed er på nuværende tidspunkt ved at være stækket.
Here is the reason for my criticism of craftmen on June 19th - the little table at the back of the room. It has costed a fortune, but looks like nothing. The joiner put up a lopsided table, and it has to be redone, and the kitchen company has to provide extra bearings, as the table droops in the midle - the guidance has been far from satisfying and the company shall not count on more orders from me. I must confess that even my persistence is close to break.

Student/Graduate



Så blev det endelig dagen igår. I betragtning af den indsat min søn har gjort på handelsgymnasiet så er det fantastisk, at han har bestået, men han er jo heller ikke en dum dreng. Jeg kom med champagne og en rose (som det sig hør og bør idag) men glemte desværre at sætte mit hår. Maxs kusine Mette var også kommet for at gratulere.
Finally the day arrived yesterday. Considering the effort of my son it is amazing that he graduated at all, but he is no stupid boy. I arrived with champagne and a rose (as customary today) but forgot unfortunately to do my hair. Max's cousin Mette also came to congratulate.

Forår i haven/spring in the garden
Ting tager tid og jeg kan ikke nå det, som jeg gerne vil. Jeg har derfor heller ikke fået lavet det nye album med før og efter billeder fra haven som jeg gerne ville have det, så tag det, som det er. Billederne er trods alt opdelt i måneder, så man kan se en udvikling den vej. Jeg når helt sikkert ikke det, som jeg vil, og ind imellem løber jeg jo også ind i problemer, som er knap så sjove. Jeg hader ganske enkelt at have håndværkere ind i mit hus - de laver et og ødelægger noget andet, og det de laver, er ganske enkelt mange gange for dårligt. Forhåbentligt lærer de af krisen, hvor der ikke er så meget brug for dem. De værste bliver forhåbentlig også sorteret fra. Klik på linket Foraar-Spring for at se de nye billeder
It is not easy to catch up with things that you want to do - I know I can't, which is why I haven't made the new album as I wanted it with before and after pictures. Take it as it is. I have divided pictures though into different months so that you can see the development through these months. Now and again I run into problems, which are not very funny. I simply hate craftmen in my house - they mend one thing and ruin another, and what they make, they just make too poorly. I hope they will learn from today's crisis, where they are less in demand . The worst ones will hopefully be screened out too. Click the link Foraar-Spring to see the new pictures.

Billeder af Tommys sidste bedrift inden han rejste. Han pudsede soklen på min udestue - et rigtig godt og omhyggeligt udført stykke arbejde. Der er bestemt ikke noget at komme efter, hvilket man jo desværre ikke kan sige om flere af de håndværkere, som jeg har måttet entrere med det sidste års tid.
Pictures of Tommy's last achievement as a craftman before he left. He renovated the socket of my patio - a real professional job. I cannot complain about anything, which unfortunately I cannot say about many of the craftsmen, whom I had to engage in the course of the last year.
20 maj 2009
Jeg havde nogle gamle billeder fra min indflytning i huset i Viby, som er lidt sjove at have liggende igen, så se til højre på det lille ikon. Du har sikkert set dem før, men de kan jo bruge til lidt før og efter kig.
I had som old pictures from my moving into the house in Viby, which I found entertaining to look at again. See them by clicking the little ikon to your right. You have probably seen them before, but they can be used to compare the before and after changes.

Entre, før og efter/Entrance, before and after
Jeg gider ikke skrive det hele en gang til - jeg fik åbenbart ikke gemt min tekst, men kig ind under billeder på linket Emilsgave og se min entre efter at jeg har malet alle min karme i huset.
I don't want to bother to write it all again - obviously I did not save my text. Look under picture by clicking the link Emilsgave and see my entrance hall after I painted all the doorframes in the entire house.

Max / Tommy
Så har der været en længere pause uden indlæg - jeg har godt nok også været ophængt - der er billeder på vej fra huset.
Max er snart færdig med skolen og har lige været til gallafest. Se ham ved at klikke på linket under billeder. En flot fyr synes jeg selv. Held og lykke med eksamen Max. Nu starter der et sværere og mere alvorligt liv.
Tommy er på vej til Beograd, og vi ved endnu ikke hvornår han kommer hjem. Jeg håber, at de holder fred, hvor han opholder sig. Held og lykke Tommy - glæder mig til at se dig igen.
A long period without any inputs - Christ, I have been busy - pictures from the house are on their way.
Max will soon graduate from High School. He attended his first grand party all dressed up. See him by clicking the link under pictures. A handsome young man I think. Good luck with the exams Max. Now a more tough and serious life starts.
Tommy is on his way to Belgrade, and we do not know when he will be back yet. I hope they will keep peace where he is around. Good luck Tommy - look forward to seeing you again.

Have/Garden 2009
Så har jeg lige taget nogle billeder af min have efter at grantræet er fjernet ligesom hækken op langs indkørslen samt halvdelen af højden på hækken ud til vejen. Desuden har jeg savet lidt småtræer blandt andet ind til naboen, som efterfølgende gik også amok på sin have. Nu skal der bare ryddes op og så er jeg parat til at forårsarbejdet.
Du skal blot klikke på linket i højre side under billeder, hvor der står have. Når du kommer ind på de gamle billeder fra sidste år, kan du nederst på siden vælge have2009, så kan du sammenligne med de ændringer, som er lavet.
Nå, jeg valgte lige at slette min YouTube video widget igen. Den fyldte lidt for meget i billedet.
Now I have taken some pictures of my garden after having the fir tree removed as well as the hedge along the driveway and half the height of the hedge towards the road. Also I have sawed some little trees - one of them in the garden of my next door neightbor (with their acceptance of course) and consequently they run amok in their garden too. Now I only need to tidy up and then I am ready for spring gardening.
Just click on the link to your right under pictures, where it says garden. When you see the old pictures from last year you may click upon have2009 further down that page and then you will be able to compare with the changes that are made.
Well I chose to delete my YouTube video widget again. It took up too much space on the page.

Jeg har lige lagt de gamle billeder op af haven fra sidste år, så kan du sammenligne dem med de nye billeder, som jeg regner med at lægge op i løbet af weekenden.
I have just uploaded the old picture from the garden last year. Then you can compare them to the new pictures that I expect to upload in the course of the weekend.

England/Irland (Ireland)
Jeg skal til England i løbet af sommeren - jeg håber at tage via Irland, men det vil der selvfølgelig komme mere om senere.
I am going to England in the course of the summer - I hope to be able to go via Irland, but you will hear more about this later on.

Nye billeder - feb2009
Så er der lidt nye billeder - stuen/spiseafdeling er snart færdig (mangler en lampe over spisebord og maling af dørkarme). Mit kontor har stadig et par kasser stående og mangler både det ene og det andet, men det værelse blive nok heller ikke færdigt før jeg engang får lavet badeværelserne om. Forhåbentligt beholder jeg ikke det samme værelse som soveværelse alt for længe - og jeg bliver også nødt til at have nogle gardiner til at lukke lyset ude til sommer.
Jeg er også igang med haven - så der kommer billeder derfra i løbet af foråret.
Yet some more pictures - the sittingroom/dinners section is soon finished (just missing a lamp over the table and paint on the door frames). There are still a couple of cases left to be moved and a lot of other things have to be done, but that room will probably not be finished before my bath rooms are renovated. My bedroom will hopefully not be my bedroom for too long - and I need some curtains to shut out the light when summer comes. I have also started to do some more work in the garden - you will be able to see pictures during spring.

Billede/Picture
Jeg checkede lige min profil idag - og tænk, der var nogen, som havde fjernet mit billede. Et eller andet var ihvertfald gået galt og jeg havde ikke fjernet det. Frækt!! Nu skal jeg til at bruge til på at finde ud hvad jeg egentlig gjorde for 1 år siden.
Today I checked my profil just in case - and imagine, somebody had removed my picture. Anyway something had gone wrong and I was not involved. Daft!! Now I have to spend time finding out what I did a year ago.

Gruppe mod det danske skattetryk/Group against the Danish tax system
Jeg har lavet en gruppe på facebook - Gruppen mod det danske skattetryk. Jeg vil sætte stor pris på, at du går ind og tilmelder dig og får andre til at gøre det samme, så vi kan forene vores kræfter imod det stadig stigende skattetryk i Danmark, som hører til verdens hårdeste. Gå ind og læs mere ......
I have created a group on facebook - the group against the danish tax pressure. I should appreciate greatly if you would join and get others to do the same in order for us to unite in our attempt to overrule the still increasing pressure from the Danish tax system, which is among the world's most heavy ones. Read more on facebook..... (this is of course only for the Danes, as I cannot see it could interest you people from abroad)

Jul/Christmas 2008
Jeg skynder mig lige at lægge nogle billeder op fra julen. Jeg har en lang juleferie og prøver at hvile ud med ikke for mange arrangementer. Nytårsaften har været stille og rolig sammen med en veninde. Nu lader jeg op til det nye år med nye tiltag - hvem ved hvad det kan ende med? Jeg ønsker jer alle ET RIGTIG GODT NYTÅR og håber at vi kan mødes i det nye år.
Just a quick upload of the Christmas photos. I have a long holiday and I am trying to take it easy these days not making to many arrangements. New Year's Eve was quiet and spent with a friend. Now I am making myself ready for the year to come with new tasks- who knows what that might end up with? I wish you all A HAPPY NEW YEAR and hope to see you soon.
