Is There such a Thing as Too Hot?


The past couple of days I have spend sitting on a bench in the park, knitting and reading. Cause even though the calendar tells us it is fall, Indian summer has arrived, and it makes me a bit sad that I didn’t bring any of my summer clothes to London. Honestly I didn’t think I needed it. After such a fall like summer, it was hard to expect that it would suddenly get better. So while people are walking around in flip-flops and sandals, my feed are being held hostage by my canvas shoes. I guess they don’t have to suffer for so long, from Monday the weather forecast is promising rain and 16 degrees. That’s more how I imagined London would be.

Sunday Nap!

Today I went into a tiny art and design shop. First thing that caught my eye, was not the things for sale, but a big cat that had thrown itself over the counter. Next thing I saw was another cat on the floor in the back of the store, and last but not least, a cat taking a nap between the rows of drawers with postcards and prints. So cute!!

An Old Beauty!

The Other day I bought a bike. An Old Beauty! Not as old as the one I have back in Denmark, which is from my great grandmother. But it is from the 50's, and I love all the little details on it. Especially the sprocket, which says "Triumph". Right now it is a little Rusty and need some work. But that will happen sometime when I am in the mood.
This morning I took it for it's first longer spin. I went to get a Coffee at "Shoreditch Grind". I really have to drive with big vigilance, as I still need to get used to driving in the wrong side of the street, plus having no foot breaks. Fortunately it went pretty well, for the first time driving in the traffic.



 


New Place to Call a Home!

I am settling into my new flat pretty fine. It is a beautiful old English building, with small windows, and my room is facing south so I have the sun all day long (when it is there). It takes a bit of time to make it become homy, but piece by piece it is starting to come together.

Berlin Memories!

Before I left Berlin this summer I went around to take picture of the city, so I would have something to remind me of the good time that I had there. Here are some the displays the city and my home.

Enrollment!!

So today it was Enrollment time, so now I am officially a Student again. I can't wait to start, but unfortunately I found out that we don't start school until the 3rd of October, and I expected it to be on the 26th. It's kind of a pitty, since I could have used some extra time in Denmark, but on the other hand I will have a bit more time to explore the city and get some practical stuff crossed of my "To Do" list.
