Random stuff... or is it?
Wanted to be writing for weeks, about the great dinner we had last Saturday, where I cooked for 12 people. Basically the inaugural dinner for the flat being in my name, restarting an old family tradition of big dinners in that place..
Wanted to write more about Scott and Sel visiting, or Japie being here for one day, about the fact I am leaving in a few hours to a great family birthday party in Skanderborg, about visiting Guillaume in Antibes next weekend...
Just to make the tone of the posts reflect the increasing amounts of light in Denmark!
But... have this dark thing looming over me, over us all: as you can read in earlier posts granny is not well. And now we have reached the stage where there is nothing else to do anymore.
We've given up. There is now an agreement with doctors, hospital, the home and her, that she won't have to go back and forth between the hospital. It will just prolong the suffering needlessly.
And, she told me Tuesday she hopes it is over soon... In a way I am hoping with her, as it is terrible to see her like that, but it still hurts very much to hear. I hope her last days will be comfortable, with her chair and her things around her. With family visiting and seeing her children, grand- and greatgrandchildren once more...
It could be over today, it could be over in 2 weeks... It's an odd thought!
Still, have to start packing now, and get ready... still have lots of ironing to do! If anybody wants, please speak up!
Next post will be full of pictures again, as I'm off to one of the most beautiful areas in Denmark. I really want it to clear my mind a bit!
Ahhh, and I am using Facebook since Monday, damn, what a waste of time! But it got me reconnected to people I haven't seen or spoken to in years! And that is exactly what this blog is about: the treasure hunt for all those friends all around the world...
Have a nice weekend... and be safe!

Hi man.
Thanks again for the nourishing dinner: it was a real "hygge" with nice known and unknown people. As always there was too much alcohol on the table, especially Cacique. ;)
I know how it feels to see a grandma' leaving, soon letting you alone ponder over memories... I'd just wish mine had left more peacefully.
Enjoy the relaxing WE at least.
Too bad for me I couldn't make it...that Cacique sure taste...mmm
Sorry about your grandma. It's sad to think about the fact we'll be gone someday. Still worst to know the end is so close...., might be terrible...
Keep strong.
