Not here for any particular reason, but I try to be nice enough to people and hope they do the same.

Last Notes npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis After a week of thaw our garden is almost snow-free - but it will be a while before the icebergs in the water butts have melted completely! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Dammit! Now you've made me crave Chinese food - and the only Chinese restaurant on Bornholm is... Sub-par seems a generous description! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Aubergine? Really? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis When you're a true Norseman an axe is always the right tool for the job... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Got up at 4:30 this morning for no reason except I'd forgotten to turn my alarm off, so I've had 4 hours of just sitting by a warm fire, planning a dinner party and occasionally taking my cat for walkies in the garden. (He can go out alone, but he likes it when I go out with him, especially in the dark. Which is challenging for me, considering that he's a black / invisible cat.) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I'm still trying to catch up with all the vaccinations an adult ought to have (my immune system having been basically re-set when I had to have a stem cell transplant after a particularly heavy dose of chemo), so I get jabs every other month. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I feel like a bit of an outsider, having never had covid... (I get every vaccine, though! Because with my somewhat dilapidated immune system I'd be in for a rough time I I caught something.) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis The local shop opens in 25 minutes, so by then I will go shopping for something to cook for the next few days. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Had a very MONDAY sort of Monday at work so am planning on doing bugger-all this evening. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis My great-grandparents and my grandparents on one side are buried with large field boulders as their grave stones. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis On my way home from work - to do more work from home. I can’t wait for Monday! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Chemo, stem cell transplants and multiple surgeries can have many side effects... And I'm getting most of them fixed. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I really, really hope my penis isn't the most interesting part of me as a person... ;-) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Comfortably fragile, I'd say. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I’ll just spend the day making 60 portion-sized cakes for my wedding on Saturday. As you do, right? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I need to mow the lawns (approx. 1500-2000sqm), clear the kitchen after a dinner party last night (none of the china or glassware or silver is dishwasher-safe), change the cut flowers in the library, do some clothes laundry (I'll do the tablecloth and napkins from last night another day when I have time to iron it all and starch the napkins), and basically pretending I'm every possible downstairs-job from Downton Abbey. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Honestly, I’m preparing to make my own wedding dinner for 50+ people, and part of that is working out the logistics of getting things cleaned and off my work surfaces! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis And now I feel obliged to post an up-to-date pic of the flagpole sans nots on the pennant, considering the last one was from the archives and showed a somewhat different weather from what we have these days... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Admin/customer service/logistics for the local newspaper so kind of perfect for me. And the people who interviewed me seemed nice, so hopefully it will be good! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Untying knots from the wimple, doing laundry, digging up some potatoes and doing some other preparations for tonight's dinner. Also, vacuuming and dusting of as much of the house as I can be bothered to. Possibly washing the kitchen floor. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis But why would you want to postpone an orgasm? Surely you should just enjoy it and then carry on! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I suspected as much... Still, it's a nice enough legend, so I shan't go about disavowing it! (Unlike the ridiculous crusader myths and stuff that basically belongs in a Dan Brown novel... We do get that sort of tourists!) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Do you know of any extant evidence of Burgundian tribes actually settling on Bornholm? Or is it all legend? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Getting ready to have a Mastodon friend over for coffee later this morning, the counting up tableware for the wedding to see if we have enough - and rolling a few tablecloths in preparation for the same. Very demure! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis This would be as close as I get to that image... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Nå, så prøver vi igen... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Hand-brushing cat fur out of the rugs/loose carpets in the living rooms. Because it's more effective than vacuuming, but it does take some time to go over some 50sqm of piled rugs. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I found these two beauties in the sweet Williams I had picked for the sitting room... Each was just under 2cm long, so some fairly chunky little critters. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis (Joking, actually; I never really liked weed. I'd much rather have a G&T. Also, if I actually wanted to get high in a mellow sort of way I have morphine in the medicine cabinet.) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis It wouldn't be my first Camberwell carrot... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Done sorting through the linen for the wedding. Now breakfast before I start weeding in the 25m long dahlia border in the front garden. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Me, purely because I have no kids. Mind you, there are interesting stories to tell about my parents, so perhaps... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis You sound so cute when you write about her... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis It's sunny in Østermarie so I'm doing laundry.... And plan to put a bolognese on. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis A double-portrait of Dick Van Dyke? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Sorry, luv; I'm taken! ;-) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis And now you've just provided the perfect entertainment for lying in bed! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Call in sick for a job center appointment and then go back to bed. Possibly with a cat. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I'll be going to Folkemødet in Allinge, just to see what it's like to be there but also to meet a stranger off the internet/Mastodon. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I also inherited this little bit from him, though it's much younger... A medieval tiny cauldron that was found in 1939, but when I inherited it I kind of knew I had to let it go. My axe heads are lovely, but medieval metal objects that are complete or mainly complete are Danefæ so ought to be handed over to the National Museum - which I did. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis That was more or less my gut instinct. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I know next to nothing about axe heads, but I love these two beauties that I inherited after my grandfather who found them in his fields. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Good morning! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Nå, men jeg har forkælet min bøvlede krop med en tur i vandet… npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Var ved lægen i dag. Dum læge. Hun sagde ikke det, jeg gerne ville høre. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Hvis man vil indføre hot-desking, burde man da i det mindste sørge for et keyboard og en skærm ved hver plads... Det andet virker jo... Dumt? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis It looks amazing! I hope somebody has found a way to market it as an up-market speciality so it can be commercially viable to preserve the breed. After all, animal conservation societies can't really afford to keep breeds alive in any meaningful numbers. Sad but true. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Today is more gardening. First, cleaning up after having torn down an ugly sort of dog patio at the back of our house (shards of old, brittle plastic roofing all over the lawn, plus lots of wire mesh that needs to be rolled up for reuse at some point), and then making a makeshift trellis for growing sweet peas around the vegetable garden - and planting out sweet peas, because they're quite frankly threatening to take over the spare bedroom where they currently live! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Obviously that's part of the pleasure of it; knowing that after 3 years of being sick and fragile and not knowing if there'd even be a future, today my body can do most things I want it to. (I still need to work up my strength, but the gardening should take care of that!) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I need to dig out a trench to plant a lilac hedgerow towards the neighbour in the front garden. I did half of it yesterday, so I'll finish today. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis In that case better not risk it with another lunchbox failure! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis In the grand scheme of things, *is* national security really more important than what's in the lunchbox? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I mean, haven't we all done stuff we needed our partner to forgive us for? Yesterday I gave my boyfriend a pasta salad as his packed lunch for work - for the second day running! And I didn't feel great about it, but I was lazy and thought I'd get away with it. So that's sort of like plagiarising a dissertation, right? npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis In Danish flæsk can mean pork (usually pork belly, but it's also used for pork mince) - but also "fatty tissue"... npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis It's quite exhilarating to see these things so quickly after they've been unearthed. Thank you for sharing! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Erhm... The women of Denmark have always been safe from my attentions! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I haven't had sex in 3 years... So... There's that... And I'm definitely not asexual! npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Igelkott shelter! Igelboda sounds like a good home for igelkottar. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I’ll be in Sweden in 20 minutes - but only to get on a coach to Copenhagen for a 15-minute hospital appointment. I’ll be home by 20:30 tonight… npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis I love old books... My oldest is from 1817, so a respectable age - but sadly it's nothing very interesting. Just an old Bible. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Because the world is at times a serendipitous place: Just now there was a single magpie amongst the rooks enjoying the sunshine on the front lawn! I smiled. :-) npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Here on Bornholm it's sunshine, rest, continued recovery after surgery (though it's frustrating that I can't just be 100% already!), taking the kitten out in the frosty garden and seeing him rather confused by a very large hare slowly jumping across the back lawn. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis They do seem such intelligent birds, which is probably what makes them so entertaining. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Magpies can be a bit annoying - but they're also so much fun to watch, and strikingly beautiful. We don't have them in the garden, though, so I don't have to worry about the annoying noise and can just appreciate them when I see them. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Language-shaming is such a great way to underscore your own superiority towards others... Especially if it's somebody's second language. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Jeg har haft lymfomer i underlivet, der blokerede for mine tarme - og nu hvor canceren er overstået skal jeg så have lappet stomierne sammen, så min krop kommer til at fungere normalt igen. npub1adm893umm8x63encjp70wu48aq7kw9splf6rlyg5h85qq2h4wzysa9c9t2 Søren Markvard Riis Kan ikke sove for smerter, og nu er der under 2 timer, til jeg under alle omstændigheder skal "vækkes", så det er ikke til at vide, om jeg når at sove inden da.
