Day ThirtyTwo

An even more "busy" Sunday. We were going to have a visit of an American university student. (They take a term here in Copenhagen and some have opted to have a Danish family to visit). Easy enough, we have had some student live with us a few years ago, so we knew roughly what to expect. We had mailed we would serve a typical Danish lunch (smørgåsbord). This had to be bought and served, and the house needed a "little" tidying, too. Fortunatly, although shops normally are closed on Sundays, the first Sunday in the month is the exception to that rule, so shopping the ingredients was without stress. And that is the great thing about guests - you get a clean and tidy living room.

The visit went very well, we had pleasant lunch and talked a lot.

For a change and challenge I tried to make dinner, porkroast, in the tiny oven that is part of our fireplace. It did not work, I had to use the microwave to get the meat done properly.

I was just sitting down to write this days blog entry, and note that the support guy from the ISP probably was right as the internet connection now was stable .. and the router died there and then. And came back again. So tomorrow, Monday morning, I will call a sewage company. Because, today, also, there was water in the cellar and one of our drain wells seems to be blocked. Fortunatly it only is the one from the kitchen, so there was no shit stench. I will of course also call the support line of the ISP. One of the good uses of a non-working workday.
