So its 2009 already!

First of all, I want to send everyone the very best wishes for the new year, may your worries be few and small and your blessings plentifull.

I really feel like I have nothing worth while to say these days, I have briefly considered taking a picture of my toe nail clippings just to at least post something, but my inner censor board voted against me.

The last couple of months have been kind of difficult, a mixture of missing and needing the sun to come out and brighten the days in any sense imaginable, and fighting the dragons/windmills at work. There's a long way yet but at least the days are getting longer and it wont be long before it's noticeable.

I was ill the week up to x-mas, longer really - but i had to stay in bed that week, and I had'nt even had time to buy any presents, so it was with a slight fever that I went shopping on the 23'th (we celebrate on the 24'th in denmark) and I did get some presents, but they were not as inspired as I would have liked. But we had a nice evening with dinner and dancing around the tree.

On the plus side I was all well again at new years evening, which I celebrated up north of copenhagen, a very nice and cosy time was had by all - "Hyggeligt" as we call it.
Next day we went for a walk with the kids just to enjoy the frost* - which I soon regetted, or rather the fact that I was wearing a pair of stupid summer shoes. But it was a beautiful day none the less.

Since then it has become January with the traditional clearing sales all over, which has actually better savings than ever this year (economic crisis and all), so I went to a hunting store and got me a pair of warm gore-tex boots, so now the winter can just come-on, i'm ready. - Allthough I discovered that they are rather big and not at all well suited for driving my tiny car, the pedals are quite close together and driving with a stick-shift clutch and all it was not pretty, hitting the brake and clutch at the same time followed by speder and gas simultaniously, thankfully there were not much other traffic at the time, but I did get the evil eye from a woman on a bicycle at a stoplight.


* I know that minus 2 to 6 degrees is nooothing to some of you, but to us its something (they promise -12 tonight).
