Today
Heeeyyy
Hope you had a happy Easter. I know I did.
My beste N was in town with her three kids and what fun. I had a good Easter. N is the beste I made later in life. I met her when I moved to England and our friendship grew. So many years later we are still friends. When we first met we were both newly weds now we are both mothers to three and two children respectively. I had not seen her in 5 years, but we talk on the phone alot so at the airport, seeing her was like having last seen her the saturday before.
So to all you thinking that you have enough friends you need not open up to more.. here is me telling you, you never know. I am always open to meeting and making new friends. A toast to good friends and lasting friendship.
Moving on.
Osama is dead.
The pope is dead (ok.. that I am not too sure about.. I was reading the subtitles on the News yestersday while attending to the kids.. but it did look like they said the pope was dead… ok.. ok.. I will google that later)
The prince married his commoner
and
Mrembo is sitting in a cold living room missing her husband terribly to the point of anger.
One thing is clear. I am in Denmark because I love a man. That is the only reason. Honest to God. Not because I thought my fortune would be made in the West. Never.. by the way that is the truth. I never dreamed of immigrating. I did dream of visiting and holidaying.. but never making this home. Now my hubby is on the other side of the ocean I cannot help but think “what the fuck you doing her Mrembo.. to start off.. the place is cold”
I am bitching about the weather because last week, the whole time N was here we had degrees up in the 20s right now it is zero degrees.. how??
By the way.. April 11th came and went without much ado. What’s so special about that date. Exactly 5 years to that date I relocated to the land of Danish pastry, marzipan and cow manure. Seriously. The pastry is too sweet for my palate, the marzipan is not to my liking and tis the season for spreading animal manure and it stinks
The plan was to write something on that date, it came and went.
In toasting to my five years here. I will list five things I like about Denmark (keeping it positive folks)
- Daycare system.
- ummm
- ummm
- lol..this is hard.. I am trying to think outside the box.. I could list the usual, realiable transport, free medical care, safe or safer than lots of place in the world..reliable infrastructure and amenities stuff like that.. but that’s boring and I have said that before and I am sure most people living in Western countries would list these things. I am trying to find things that are particularly Danish that I like.
- Can I get back to you on this. I truly failing to find something..
- Oh wait.. the royal family.. yeah.. Denmark has turned me into a royalist. I like Princess Mary. Not that I am an avid follower.. Royalty has been on the news this month. Our… yes I said our. .. si my husband is Danish..therefore me having left and cleft or cleaved to my husband, us being one flesh, his being mine I can claim the Royal House of Denmark.. ama. God that was a mouthful. So like I was saying.. OUR crown Prince baptised thier twins.. Then Prince William married Catherine. No I did not sit and watch.. but today I did watch the highlights and I gotta say.. even me I want to get married in that church. When the Arch Bishop was reading the vows I SWEAR I got tears in my eyes. When you have been married long.. those vows have been put to the test and you know what they mean, you truly do.. so it did touch me cause I was reminded I do love Babawatoto. I truly really do and love is a beautiful thing.
