Et drys sne - A bit of snow

Så faldt der vinterens første sne i Gladsaxe. Ikke så meget. Men overrasker nu hver gang man står op til et hvidt drys sne. Det er da pænt. Men må tilstå jeg ikke ellers synes om det. Især i mit job i Post Danmark, da det har en stor indvirkning på arbejdet. Især mht tempo. (som mere end tidligere er en nødvendighed).
Herunder et par billeder fra denne Søndag formiddag.

Finally we got a bit of show in Gladsaxe. It's not much, but its there. Always surprised to wake up to snow, that wasn't there last night.
It's pretty and part of climate and seasons. But don't like snow. Mostly because I have to work in it.
Being in the postal services, it makes my job much more difficult. Have to keep up a high pace in order to do my work in time. Can't do that in snow...cold and slippery.
Here a few pics from this sunday morning.

R.E.M. Everybody hurts...

Bare en sang. Kan ikke tage æren for den.
Just a song. Can't take credit for it... just like it. Sometimes everybody hurts...everybody!

When your day is long and the night 
The night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go 
Everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong 
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

Everybody hurts 
Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts
Don't throw your hand. Oh, no
Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life 
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on 
Hold on, hold on 
(Hold on, hold on)

Everybody hurts 
You are not alone

Godt nytår - Happy new year

GODT NYTÅR - 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

(for english scroll down)
Så er vi nået til 2012. Har ikke nogle nytårsfortsæt. Men håber året bliver mig bedre end 2012.
En af drømmene er stadig at komme til Canada. Også gerne Alaska. Men om der vil være "midler" og mod til det...vil tiden vise.
Et indre biologisk ur der "tikker" højlydt er også lidt presserende.

Det lykkedes mig at få fri fra arbejde 31.december. Så 30.december tog jeg med Abildskous rutebiler -linie 888

til Aarhus efter arbejde.
Der besøgte jeg endnu engang min gamle kammerat fra ungdomshøjskolen http://brian-erritsoe.blogspot.com/2011/07/turen-gar-til-aarhus.html. Han havde alligevel ikke nogen at holde nytår med. Så var et godt forslag han kom med.

Af bussen på rutebilsstationen, befandt vi os hurtigt på café Stiften ved banegården http://www.aoa.dk/restaurant-og-cafe/cafe-stiften#what:Restaurant%20og%20caf%C3%A9.

Der kom nogle genstande indenbords. Deribland øllen Jacobsen Velvet Ale.

Dejlig øl - really nice beer

Den var virkelig en dejlig overraskelse, især da den kommer fra et gigantisk bryggeri (carlsberg). Let, sød og frisk smag af sommer og hyldeblomster. 

31.december gik med at tulle rundt omkring strøget i byen, og ellers møde kammeraten da han havde fyraften fra Salling (stormagasinet).

Et super-hurtigt indkøb og aftenens mad var klaret. Vi havnede på hans opfordring endnu en gang på STIFTEN. Der holdt de sørme åbent, så længe der var kunder sagde de. 

Så omkring 17-tiden drog vi mod aarhus nord, hvor han bor. 

Desværre gik han helt ned med energi og helbred dér. Som batterierne var taget ud...
Så aftenen blev meget stille tilbragt i sofaen med tv og lidt mad. Så nytår i den forstand blev det ikke.
Ingen druk eller fyrværkeri. 

Flintstone pub

1.januar gik turen hjem igen...sjovt nok efter han endnu engang fik lokket mig ud på pubben http://www.flintstonepub.dk/. Så var ikke helt appelsinfri, da jeg hoppede på rutebilen hjem.
Dér rendte jeg så på en gut fra en anden årgang, fra min gamle ungdomshøjskole. Så var der godt selskab hele vejen til København :o)

Well 2012 has arrived. Hope 2012 will be good to me. Feel I need it badly.
Hoping this will be the year I cross the atlantic. Dreaming about seeing mountains, wildernesses aso of Canada or Alaska.
A friend of mine who recently lived in Toronto, moved to the far far east of New Foundland. Hope to see her too soon.

Also got an inner clock ticking away.... feel the need to find someone, have kids aso.

Spend new years eve in the city of Aarhus with an old friend of mine. Got the 31nd of december off, and therefore left cph the 30th of december in the afternoon.
Right of the bus we sat down for a few beers, and I had late dinner. The next day I spend walking around main street aarhus, while he was at work. When he got off from work, we went shopping for the new years dinner...and had..well... a few beers more. Tasted the JACOBSEN VELVET ALE for the first time (see pic)

A really nice beer: light, sweet with a summer taste of elderflowers. .. brewed by CARLSBERG.
Looking forward to tasting it again.
After we got home..he suddenly got very tired and dizzy. So the rest of new years eve, was very very quiert.
We just ate dinner and watched tv. And looked out the windows and midnight to watch the fireworks.

The day after that he was ok again. We went to a pub called "flintstonepub" and had a few moore beers.
When on the bus for copenhagen, I bumped into another guy I know from the same school (wich I also know my aarhus-pal from). So had good company all the way to cph :o)
