En tur i Operaen / Going to the Opera

I søndags var jeg inde i byen det meste af dagen. Efter kirke kunne jeg ikke nå hjem inden jeg skulle ind og se ballet kl. 15, så jeg nød en dejlig tur rundt i byen og spiste lige den frokost jeg havde lyst til. Jeg kan virkelig godt lide hotdogs, selv om det er blevet lidt dyrt, så sådan en nød jeg. Hver eneste bid!

This Sunday, I was in the city most of the day. After church I couldn't make it home before going to see a ballet at 3 p.m., so I enjoyed a nice walk around the city and ate the lunch I felt like. I really do like hotdogs, so although it's a bit more expensive, I enjoyed one of those. Every single bite!

Dessert blev det også til - vaffelis i Nyhavn. Der var ikke så lang kø sådan en kold, blæsende dag i januar, så det var jo fint! 

(Hvis jeg har lært noget af mine islandske kolleger, så er det at man ALTID kan spise is! Uanset vejret!)

I also enjoyed a dessert - ice cream cone in Nyhavn. The line was very short such a cold, windy January day, so that was perfect!

(If I learned anything from my Icelandic colleagues, it is that ALL weather is ice cream weather!)

Trods maden kom jeg tidligt i Operaen og nåede at strikke lidt. Der er virkelig fint derinde, og jeg skulle se en rigtig eventyr-ballet, nemlig Tornerose, så der var en del børn derinde. Det var meget hyggeligt, selv om jeg var glad for at jeg ikke havde sådan nogle med!

In spite of the food, I arrived early at the Opera and got to knit a bit. It's really pretty in there, and I was watching a real fairytale ballet, Sleeping Beauty, so there were a few kids there. it was really nice, although I was happy that I wasn't bringing any of those!

Strikketøjet var fødselsdagsstrømper til min søster. De er lige så hemmelige som de plejer, så her er de foran det røde tæppe i sort/hvid. Hun skal jo nødig regne ud hvordan de ser ud! (De er vildt flotte i år!)

Det er sjovt at gå i Operaen. Balletten var virkelig flot og smuk med de fineste kjoler og kostumer, og det er vildt, hvor meget man kan fortælle en historie gennem dans. Faktisk. 

Jeg må have kigget på programmet og se hvad der mere kommer. Jeg kan jo ikke tage derind hele tiden, men en gang imellem er det rigtig sjovt. 

My knitting project was the birthday socks for my sister. They are as big a secret as ever, so here they are - in front of the red curtain - in black and white. I don't want her to guess how they look! (So pretty this year!)

Going to the Opera is fun. the ballet was so impressive and really beautiful with the most pretty dresses and costumes, and it's amazing how much you can tell a story by dancing. Actually. 

I have to look through the program and see what else they are planning. I can't go there all the time, but every now and then is really fun.
