28/02: Latest news....spring is apparently on its way...

Time to say godbye to the snowwoman.

08/08: Lea got her first earrings today.

Very content, but Mie is not happy - as she was told she had to wait till she turns 6.
Not our decission though, so she accepted....with a bit of reluctance.

06/07: Yay, summer vacation starts today

07/05: Segway and more

Ages since last update, I know – but here’s the latest news.
We were supposed to go to Sharm el Sheik for 2 weeks during Easter, but Tinas dad got seriously ill and we decided to stay home. Luckily he’s now much better and improving every day.

So the 2½ weeks leave, was mainly spent at home with the girls, and after my busy time during autumn and winter, it was very nice to really get very close again. We also went to a waterworld called Lalandia for 4 days. The girls had a ball, but for Tina and I it wasn’t as exciting. We’ll NEVER go during school holiday, that’s for sure.

2 days ago, Tina and I went to Malmø, and tried to ride a Segway. It was a gift for my birthday last year, but we’ve just never got around to go last summer.
It was a lot of fun, and much easier than expected. We started out testing it on the sidewalk for a couple of minutes, and then rode through town with a max speed of 7 km/h. Good speed and a great way of sightseeing. Pedestrians paid us a lot of attention :-)
After reaching a local park, the guide changed the max speed to 20 km/h and that really made a difference. After ‘speeding’ for a couple of minutes, it seemed fine and not too fast, luckily it was not turned back to 7, that would have felt slow for sure.
We drove through the park, raced an old git an a handicap bike with motor (and beat him), then back through mid town and the ride ended after 1 hour.
Riding a Segway is recommendable, but very addictive I’m afraid.

12/12: Go for it!

02/12: Danish - English, this is humor :-)

‎1. Engelsk for begyndere: (for beginners)
Tre hekse ser på tre swatch-ure. Hvilken heks ser på hvilket swatch-ur?
Three witches watch three swatch watches. Which witch watch which swatch watch?
2. Engelsk for viderekommende: (advanced english)
Tre kønsopererede hekse ser på tre swatch-ure-knapper. Hvilken kønsopererede heks ser på hvilken swatch-ur-knap?
... Det hele igen på engelsk:
Three switched witches watch three Swatch watch switches. Which switched witch watch which Swatch watch switch?
3. Engelsk for eksperter: (at the end)
Tre schweiziske hekse-kællinger, som ønsker sig at være kønsopereret schweiziske hekse-kællinger, ønsker at se på schweiziske swatch-ure-knapper.
Hvilken schweizisk hekse-kælling, som ønsker sig at være en kønsopereret schweizisk hekse-kælling, ønsker at se på hvilken schweizisk swatch-ure-knap?
… og igen på engelsk:
Three Swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched Swiss witch-bitches, wish to watch three Swiss Swatch watch switches.
Which Swiss witch-bitch which wishes to be a switched Swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which Swiss Swatch watch switch?

30/05: Another 2 dives

Still no good viz, but got close to 2 hours traning in my drysuit

10/05: Awesome concert

Was invited by a very close friend to the Roger Waters concert 'The Wall' on 7th May.
What a fantastic experience - Roger, the music the show. A lot of old feelings from when I 'discovered' the music more than 20 years ago re-emerged, and the show will remain as an unforgettable experience. Thank you my friend.

04/05: 10 degrees and lousy viz

But still, great to be back under water. Went with 3 buddies in wetsuit - but they did just fine despite the cold water. Expect to do another dive later this month.....fingers crossed.

11/04: 2 kids on 4 wheels

It took 3 weeks for Mie to learn to ride the bike like Lea.
Now she's without supporting wheels as well.....both girls are very proud - just like their parents.
Pictures will be posted when available.
