Sunshine, pure, golden, warm sunshine...3 weeks of sunshine. Now, that is nourishment for the soul. Ever since we arrived back to Denmark from our trip up north, we have had sunshine every day for 3 weeks, that is... count them...21 Days!!
I have loved every minute of being outdoors, working in the yard and exploring my surroundings. However, a couple days ago the perfect record was broken when we had a sprinkle of rain. I guess that was okay since the newly planted flowers and all of the bulbs that are poking through the dirt needed a little drink.
My body decided to use that rainy day to catch a cold...Boo!! I have been nursing a sore throat and stuffy nose for a couple of days now. I'm looking forward to feeling better, hopefully by the end of the weekend as the mailman told me today that we are expecting sunshine all of next week.
Wishing I had been feeling better today... Fridays in Denmark are full of activities as it is the end of a work week and Danes are excited to get their weekends started, not much different than in the US. The grocery store is usually a fun place to go on Fridays (except when you are sick) because of the hustle and bustle and the SAMPLES!! Our favorite grocery store is Super Best. It is a bit larger than the other stores and it offers more variety. Plus, I love to see the grocers in their bowler hats. It's so...hmmm...European!!
Today the grocers were busily stocking and setting out samples. The butcher was cooking up some sort of sausage and beef (roast) to sample, there were chunks of cheese on toothpicks, and there is usually some type of spread on crackers. Finally for all of the wine lovers out there...free wine tasting! They usually have 4-6 bottles of wine sitting out and will pour you a sample from each kind, and they aren't stingy with it either. It really is a nice way to be able to decide what you like rather than buying a bottle and figuring out later it wasn't very good. I wish all stores did that.
However, today, I bypassed it all...sore throats and wine just don't mix.
