Coins With Holes & Love Hearts

One of the things I like to try to do when I'm away is to come back with as little change as possible.  It wasn't looking good in the airport as I had a pocket full of the stuff.  However having bought some outrageously expensive "souvenirs" and paid for them with change, the problem was almost gone.

An odd thing about the Danish language is, very much like Dutch, I can make some sort of sense out of it without understanding it completely.  You can see how words got into English and how they took their modern form.  Quite fascinating.  And here I'm only talking about the written word, when people spoke it, I understood nothing at all.

First full day back at home and we built our new bed.  We had tried to do that before going away but the instructions were a tad confusing and it was all going to end it tears, so we left it until we got back.  It looked like it was going to be a Herculean effort, but team work and a helping cat meant that it was all done in just over an hour.

I'm really looking forward to going to sleep on a bed that doesn't wake you up when either of you rolls over.
