One year older

Last weekend, I got one year older, and then my boyfriend said that now he could make a trade-in and get two 18-year-old girls instead! And my vacation is also ending.

I have been busy this last week. Last weekend we had the family for dinner because of my birthday, and I got some great gifts. Well, the iTunes gift card I got from my boyfriend was not a success. Apple is just as bad as other companies when it comes to service! It took them five days to respond to my email about not being able to redeem my gift card. In my opinion that is very bad and slow service.

I also met with my old friend again, and we spend the entire Tuesday walking and talking, so we had a very good time together. She had bought an e-book reader since the last time we saw each other, so of course, that had to be studied closely during lunch. It was a long day since the entire ‘world situation’ was discussed during the day. Wednesday, we went to Copenhagen together with our neighbors. We saw the changing of the guards at Amalienborg, and after that, it was time for a city tour by boat. The day was ended with dinner at a restaurant at Bakken. So also that was a long day.

Thursday we had to get up early because we were going shopping. We had made an appointment with my parents' car. It makes it so much easier to get around and buy a lot of groceries. So, I don’t think it comes as any surprise that Friday was a ‘day off’.

All in all, it has been a great summer vacation.

The holiday has started

The first week of the holiday has passed, and it has been a very good week. It began with a reunion with an old friend, and we had such a good time together. It has been a long time since I talked that much about computers and gadgets with somebody who was not a colleague of mine. And she’s a bookworm just like me, so we talked about where we could buy e-books and audiobooks cheap online. The most annoying part was that she commanded me to read a series of books about vampires, which I’m now ‘possessed’ by, and I’ve already read the first two books in the series on the e-book reader - it’s easy and cheap, about four pounds pr book.

It was also the week where the gardener began this year's work. This first week has passed with digging out for and placing the grass concrete next to the carport - see photo.

Of course, the holidays should also be spent doing something fun, so I went out and bought a computer earlier than planned. Originally it wasn’t planned until autumn, but I sped it up till now. I was getting tired of having some data on a laptop and another set of data on a desktop. And by buying the iPod Touch, I escalated the problem. So right now, I’m spending time moving programs and data to my new computer. Besides, I have more time for that now than in the autumn, and on top of that, it’s nice to be able to do it sitting on our garden sofa, enjoying the warm weather at the same time.
