    Got a blister under a callous. Having anaethsetised with red wine, I'm about to attack with a needle (or more accurately a safety pin, coz I can't find a needle).

      Useful Danish phrases

      Sounds almost the same in Danish as in Dutch.

        I had a hot chocolate instead with squirty cream and marshmallows.

          I just checked the link, I can get away with speaking Dutch, the phrases are pretty similar. Must remember to say Tak instead of Bedankt. Tnh they all speak pretty good English anyway, so you don't need to worry.

            I'm not bringing my froggy stash. It's mine, all mine I tell you.

              Which is why I don't run anymore. Well that, and also my joints are knackered after 15 years of competitive sports.

                Not really , no more than it is at the moment.

                Thunderstorms abound here, hail, heavy rain and Mr N made me put the heating on this evening, girly wuss.

                  I was planning to leave the house tomorrow and go to the market in town, apparently its going to be even wetter and windier tomorrow, if that's at all possible.

                    The words look familiar, but when you play the pronunciations, they're pretty incomprehensible.

                    Tak is the only word I remember from my last visit to Denmark, in circa 1983. That, and a plague of ladybirds (literally, they were swarming).

                    Did I tell you about my last visit?

                    I was forced into a reluctant romance with a boy from Essex called Russell, whose mother was a telephone operator, so, despite me refusing to give him my number, got it anyway. His mother spoke to my mother and invited me to stay for the weekend. My mother accepted. It was hell. We went to the cinema and every time he tried to put his arm round me I made an excuse. "I need the toilet". "I need a Mars Bar..."
                    There was a very cute guy on the same holiday called Will. Now if it had been him...


                    Actually, I might see if I can find Russell on facebook. Hopefully he found a nicer girl who liked him back.
