Banana Cuckoo Fish Dish
Tonight is daylight saving time in Denmark. The good one. The one where I get to sleep an hour extra. There should be more phony, made-up things that give you an extra hour of sleep. “Ah, today is banana cuckoo fish dish day, I get to sleep an hour extra”. I’d like that.
I am always a little worried that I’ll forget to set my clocks, though. And spend the rest of the year one hour out of sync with the rest of the world. Wouldn’t that be a horror? Imagine all the tv shows I’d miss. I shudder.
Otherwise there is not much adillying. Slept a whole lot last night/yesterday. Oh and I got my insurance policy, did I mention that? I am officially insured. Also my “no junk mail please” sticker seems to work a treat. I didn’t get any junk mail this weekend either. So that is swell.
Meanwhile, it is cold, very cold. I’m going to have to switch from t-shirts to longsleeves soon. Maybe even have to turn on the heating system. When I get tired of chattering teeth.
I have been invited to the annual christmas party at the playground. November 21st. I have all the usual worries and apprehensions and dancing phobia demons in my head, but of course I must go. The last two have been overall good experiences. Although I dread the conversation turning to Mads this year, I’m sure he will come up and I don’t know if I’ll break down and cry in front of everyone. Or just sit quietly and nod at how sad it is. I still miss him terribly. Every now and then it’ll enter my mind and I have to say “stop” out loud (but in my head) to stop the sad thoughts pouring in. I miss him so, but I guess I’ll have to settle for human company instead.

Our “Banana cuckoo fish dish” doesn’t start until next weekend. I dread this dark time of year. If we work until 5:00 pm, it’s always dark when we get home to feed the animals.
It is very, very windy today. It’s in the 50’s but is supposed to drop tonight to below freezing. Brrrr.
The playground Christmas party. They’ve all turned out better than what you’d imagined. You’ll do fine this year. Mads will be missed by everyone there. You will be among friends to reminisce about him.
Besides, you go to more parties than I get to go to! So you will need to enjoy it for both of us.

Debster – I wonder what the animals think of our whole time system and changing daylight times. They probably think the same thing they think about us usually: “Silly humans”.
I wonder if you could teach a goat to tell time. You probably could, as long as you’d use food in some way. “Hmm, it’s 3 o’clock, time for my treats Mr Plume” Magnethe says as she taps her fancy new wrist watch.
I know the christmas party will be good, and good for me. I’ll try not to worry. As usual.
