A continued entry following the last post describing my day C’s daily routine after Mark’s birth: 6.00am and sometimes even earlier: Mark wakes up and starts yakking/whimpering because he’s done sleeping. Normally he needs a shot of milk too, which C provides sitting half-asleep on the bed. 6.30am: After 30 minutes of sucky sleep C […]

I wanted to write this for a while, but didn’t prioritize it. The following may explain why. My daily routine after Mark’s birth: 6.00am and sometimes even earlier: Mark wakes up and starts yakking/whimpering because he’s done sleeping. 6.30am: After 30 minutes of torture semi-sleep I give up and crawl out of bed. 7.15am: I […]

If I was a trucker I might have chosen more “trucker-style” drapes than this bloke: Close-up: ‘ Text on window says: “King of the Rai” – Whatever that means? Sorry for the image quality. Cellphone camera held as I was driving behind him.
being alone with 3 yakking Chinese mothers and their 3 screaming infants. Well now that I think about it, it’s either that or a warm gun.

At the party celebrating our son’s baptism I watched C happily munching away on a piece of watermelon. She suddenly stopped eating, and looked to her left where the Chinese guests sat. She then looked around to the other guests and said: “Why are only the Chinese eating?”.

Another one of those “happy pig” trucks. The sign says “stress free”, which is hardly the case, but what do I know. And sure, I’ll eat the stressed buggers if I find part of them in my supermarket freezer.

Watching the World Cup Soccer tournament? I am. At least the Danish matches even though we didn’t get a good start loosing 0-2 to Holland (well-deserved by the way). I would’ve been keener on watching other matches too, but to be honest, I get annoyed by the constant noise of the bloody Vuvuzela horns after […]

As I wrote in the last post, we’ll have our son baptised in church soon. To be honest, it’s not really what I want, being a huge fan of FSM and not so much religion. In a weak moment a few years ago, I told C that she could decide whether or not our first […]
C has a very good friend in Harbin. She has been extremely helpful with train tickets and similar, both when we visited China in 2007 and last summer when C’s parents were visiting us here in Denmark. A few months ago she even sent us a gift to our newborn son. Its 2 silver bracelets […]

I wanted to write this entry for a long time, but just never got around to it with the baby and all. I think it’s important to tell, though. One of our neighbours is a single mom living alone with her 2 children. She has a tiny old car bought from her granny. Nothing fancy, […]

Last November we moved to a small rented house. It is a nice change that basically adds a small garden and a new adress but not more room unfortunately. Of course we also got new neighbors. To one side is a young single mom with two kids, while the other is a friendly middle-aged Vietnamese […]

Here in Denmark we have a fine tradition of mocking our animals on the way to the guillotine. Notice the drawings… Those are a few of the trucks I have passed last year on the freeway carrying live piggies heading for the slaughterhouse. Actually 99% of all trucks here have similar pictures of overjoyed hogs […]

…. when my wife starts messing up the garden. It might not be pretty, but I’m rather sure its well worth it when the plants begin to give vegetables.

It might not make that big of a difference, but today I marked a few old posts as “Private”. The posts contain keywords used by visitors here, and include the name of a Chinese actress, who made quite a stir by posing the mistress of a Japanese sympathiser in a Chinese movie from 2008. In […]

Finally got hold of some pig’s feet for the missus to cook. The picture below is the end result after +2 hours boiling with cinnamon, anise seeds, garlic and ginger. If you live in China or are Chinese, you might not find this anything special, but here in Denmark pigs feet is not considered normal […]

Does this often happen to you too? My wife just called from home telling me to grab some pigs feet in the supermarket for her on my way home…. Only old ladies normally go for those here in DK now that we write 2010.

Overheard today: Half asleep I notice C come into the bedroom. She takes a quick glance at my leg and mumbles: “What a big leg – looks very tasty!” (I know she weren’t talking to me). Watch C check out a strange plate of hash-looking stuff her girlfriend gave her while muttering: “This is partially […]

If anyone is interested: As expected the runaway dog never showed up. No idea about it’s fate, but C may end up being correct. To compensate for the loss, C’s parents now have a new puppy. Hopefully this one will not be lost as easily as the first one. C told me about the new […]
