dreamhouse for sale

Everytime I go out to the garden I pass this house that I fell in love with at first sight. It always looked unoccupied, but there was no way of knowing, didn´t have a for sale sign up...it´s one of those fairytale houses, it´s from 1897 and has so much charm just looking at it.

Anyways, when I went to the garden yesterday I was passing the house and had to leave out a loud gasp, THE FOR SALE SIGN WAS THERE... My mind raced on the way out to the garden. How could I get the bank to loan me money, how would I manage to have a house in Odense when I probably would end up in another city....should I just decide that Odense was the place afterall....oh my anyways, I went on the internet when I got home and looked it up at the real estate page and sure enough it cost like 4,2million danish kroner, which is probably something like half a million dollars, probably a bit more...

Goodbye house, unless......it´s a nice old grandma who loves ME and wants to sell it to ME and and (maybe I watched too maybe hollywood movies...someone suggested that anyways after I told them about this whole crazy idea...)

Here are some of the pictures though, you will miss some of the magic that the live picture of it brings


did I mention it´s right by the habour and has a water view...sigh

and look at those pretty floors....sigh.....

a garden update 1

When Kat first purcharged the house this is what it looked like....or i mean after we worked the ground, this is taken right before we planted the grass

This is then what it looks like now with green everywhere
Quite amazing I think

These are my sunflowers, growing slowly but surely as you can see

summerjob highlight

I have a pretty lame summerjob cleaning at the psyc unit close to my house.
Scrubbing toilets cleaning floors and setting out food and cleaning up for the patients.
A braindead just do your job kind of work, for the money.

Well there is actually a favorite thing to do that I wish I could do more than once a day.
I carry a huge trash bag on my cleaning trolley and then I empty it after the day I have to write with a red marker on the bag which unit I was on and close the bag with this twichy thingie where you use another thing to close it really tight.

That´s the highlight of the day writting P601 with the marker and closing the bag. Sometimes I get to do it twice if I take the kitchen garbage:-)

the bad conscience of a lazy day

i thought the titel was pretty good, so i better think up something to write.

today is my only day off this week.

i thought i would get up early and do something, yesterday i didn´t know what, maybe go out to the garden, maybe something else. well...

i spent one hour away from the house when i went downtown to shop or so i thought. it was too hot, i just looked a little around, didn´t get anything except from my favorite sandwich at mama´s. then i went back home doing what i did before going shopping...

READING READING READING. i finished up anne holt´s the truth behind the truth a crime book and continued with "the hindi bindi club", a huge chick flick book about the daughters of indian women who immigrated to america and it´s also about the mothers. i like it, it also has receipes in it.

anyways, this was all to tell that i, late afternoon started getting a bad conscience for this absolutely lazy day, i have had to tell myself over and over that it´s ok, i am not totally convinced yet, but i am planning to go straight to bed after writting this and it´s only 8pm...well well...

work is calling tomorrow at 6am
