Talented Linda with the blog Simpel Dagbog has me featured in a little interview today. Every Monday she gives room to a blogger she finds interesting. I think it's a good way to get a sneak peak into new blogs - and I'm very happy she wanted me to participate. Thank you Linda! (the interview is in Danish)

I wish today had been filled with nice things like the ones above. Beautiful breakfast, sun through the leaves of my plants and a little knitting. Instead I have been reading a little an napping a lot... I guess you need those days once in a while.

If you are not familiar with Irma's røgede ørred salat (smoked sprout salad) yet - you should definately give it a try. After a long walk in Aarhus I decided that was the only thing I wanted for lunch - luckily there is one Irma here that I almost ran into because I was so hungry. I like the salad on toasted rye bread with lot's of avocado, pepper and peppermint tea with it.

Last chores completed. Important papers handed in. Emails sent. Work done. Now I will grab my weekend bag and go on a little journey across Denmark. From Copenhagen to Roskilde and to Aarhus and back! Enjoy your Friday evening!

Three days a week I hop on my bike for a 15 minutes bike ride from Vesterbro to Amager, where my university is placed. Even though the trip is short it contains two bridges and a little forest. It gives me a sense of the seasons changing... I'm ready for Spring now.

Yesterday sv1 showed the documentary The DeVilles directed by Nicole Nielsen Horanyi. Unfortunately I only stumbled upon it by coincidence half way through. But from what I saw it was candy to my eyes and ears. A really interesting story about fading love taking place in an L.A. suburb. I guess it could be anywhere but the setting and the colorful couple brings some magic into the whole story... Have you seen it?

Today our Monday became a Sunday. After late breakfast at home we went for a little walk an ended up having a cup of good coffee at the bookshop Thiemers Magasin. Here I found a little magazine called Stella mixing DIY with interesting women and ideas all wrapped in a beautiful layout with inspiring photos. The magazine might be little but to me it's a big discovery - I'm looking forward to the next issue comes out soon.

How can a weekend starting with croissants and sun not be good? Even though I still have a cold and are working at home this weekend - I'm still optimistic. Spring is just around the corner. I smelled it today.

If there where a prize for home decoration I would not take home the 1. prize... I love to visit people who live in beautiful homes with a limited amount of stuff lying around everywhere. But in our home things are pretty chaotic at times. Actually I was really proud when I hung up a mirror and made my own little inspiration-corner in the bedroom some time ago. The thought is to change what is lying there and hang some pictures on the wall - that should be manageable... I hope to use the old Yashica on my trips to Berlin and Paris this Spring. I can't wait!

My throat is sore after a freezing week on the bike - even the birds where hiding in the trees, when I tried to take a picture of them today. The only solution is a warm blanket and lot's of ginger/honey/lemon tea.

A new semester is up and running combined with a new job, and it shows on the blog. Focusing on other things has made me a little uninspired, but that doesn't mean I'm not inspired at all. I found these notes on my good friend Laura's fridge the other day - she wrote them down from somewhere, and I think they make pretty good sense. I especially like the two last posts - I could learn from them.
