Sommer

Sommer betyder mulighed for kæmpestore is i godt selskab. For is kan man næsten altid spise, selv om det godt kunne være varmere!

Summer means the possibility of eating giant icecream in the best company. You always have room for icecream even if the temperature might be a bit higher!

I går sad jeg ved Langelinie for at komme ud, for at strikke lidt og for at høre kanonerne. (Troede jeg. Viste sig, at de først skyder ved solnedgang.)
Ved havnen var der et kæmpe krydstogtsskib. Desuden lå Dannebrog, Dronningens skib, klar til at sejle, og faktisk så jeg også den lille båd (med hvide matroser stående foran og bagved - I kan se den lige til højre for Dannebrog) hente eller bringe en kongelig.

Last night I went to sit at Langelinie for a while. To get away from home a little, to knit and hopefully hear the cannons. (Turned out they didn't salute until sunset.)
At cay was a giant cruise-ship. Dannebrog, the Queen's ship, was also in the harbor, ready to take off. I was lucky to see the little boat (with white sailiors standing front and back - you cam spot it just to the right of Dannebrog) pick up or send back one of the royals.

Nå ja - og så var der studenter! Jeg mødte et par biler på cykelturen derud. Man kan sandelig godt høre dem med alt det musik og larm! Det er meget imponerende, så mange dage de kan blive ved....
De var der igen ved den lille havfrue, inklusiv en modig fyr, der svømmede med hue på og gjorde sig fortjent til en bølge. Det lød koldt!

Oh - and then there were all the High School graduates! They are driving around in lorries, playing load music, screaming and making a lot of noise with horns in order to celebrate. I met a few lorries while riding my bike. It's impressive how they can go on for several days!
They were also there to see the little mermaid, and one brave young guy earned the right to make a wave-shaped cut inside his hat by swimming in the harbor. The noises he made sounded like the water was very cold.....
