I got on my excercise bike today. After the surgery on my eye I was told not to do anything that raised the pulse or made me sweat for 1-2 weeks. It’s been 3 weeks, so I figured it was time to give it a little go. It was quite nice to get back to it. Although it strikes me now that I should have turned on the telly so I could have watched the Tour de France coverage while I biked. Well, I wouldn’t have been able to see the TV from the bike. But I could have listened to it and pretended to be climbing the Alps, or something like that. instead I listened to my Jonathan Coulton youtube playlist. I listen to that quite often. I still love his music.

Aksi today I received a postcard from Desirée. Thank you dear Des. And thank you for writing in nice bold letters. I surely do need that now.

Tomorrow I should be off to see some goats, if all goats well.

I’m so glad you got the card! Raven picked it for your especially! And yeah, I made an effort with BIG letters, and felt a little silly doing so, but figured it would assist the reading ;)

Raven loves picking out cards, but she hasn’t really got the patience to help me write them. “Just write Raven on it,” she says – “Have you written Raven???” “Are you writing Raven now???” So, I had to come up with something deep and meaningful myself whilst she was heckling me. :))

I’ve never seen so many sheep, cows and horses anywhere as I saw in Friesland. Fitting, really, with the cows anyways, as our play was about the drovers that drove cattle from here to the markets in Germany back in the days.

Anyways, I’m off to bed. Stay happy, Plume.

Desiree: “sheep, cows, and horses” – no goats? I guess you don’t hear much about “goat drives” back in the wild, wild West days in the US either. hee hee

So now it’s Lance “Plume” Armstrong, is it? That looks like the most grueling awful race to be in, let alone as many times as Lance has been in it and won.

We were doing some interior painting on Wed when I happened to look out the window. There in the yard was a beautiful deer!

Then a few feet back were two spotted fawns. The funny thing was we were working in town surrounded by houses (town probably has about 20,000 people) and probably as many deer!

She and the two little ones were sure pretty as they walked across the lawn into the street and over to another lawn and disappeared.

Desiree – Raven is very talented at picking out cards. It is a precious skill!
Were there any cows in the play, I wonder? I want to do a play with goats. Actually Mads was in a play.. or it wasn’t really a play.. I forget what it was exactly, maybe Klodshans? But he got to act anyway, and have kids come and see him. A star he was.

Debster – Lance is back this year I see. I used to be quite the fan of the T de F. Until the doping scandals. One of my best memories was the year Bjarne Riis won. One of the biggest Danish sport achievements ever.. or so we thought. I have not been able to enjoy the cycling sport since then I’m afraid. But I don’t have to use doping on the exercise bike luckily.
You are so lucky with the deer and fawns!

Yes – there were DANCING cows in the play. Well, dancing steers, anyways. Raven and Arthur were mesmerized! They were awesome, if you ask me, but then, I’m biased ;)

I did some constructive work today. I cleaned up my storage room in the basement. Remember it was broken into before my surgery? I figured that if I wanted to clean it up myself then I’d better get it done before all my sight is lost.

It was hard enough already. Only a dim light in the basement, no light in the storage room itself. But it’s only a tiny room, so I got it done okay. Filled up 4-5 plastic bags with my stuff on the floor. And put all the empty boxes back in a neat formation. That was really what I used the storage room for mainly. Empty boxes from when I moved. And my bike. Which had not been toched. I do hope the people who broke in were really annoyed at all the junk they wasted their time on. Funniest thing? I actually found a 100 kroner bill in my stuff. Cash. It tickles my funny bone to think of those idiots going through my junk and missing the cash. Hah. I’m not sure why I had a 100 kroners there though. It’s not a fortune or anything. But still. Maybe I put it there by mistake. Or maybe it was a clever ploy to surprise my future self with money. Or maybe the burglars dropped it. I don’t think so. But still funny.

I brought the plastic bags upstairs and sorted the stuff in the brighter lights of my apartment. About half of it was stuff I wanted to throw out. The rest was just mostly crap from my childhood. Memories. Of no value to burglars. I have repackaged it all in two plastic bags. I’ll probably keep them in my apartment. If someone should break into the storage room again then I don’t want to have to clean up a mess again. Up here they are safer. Hopefully. I did consider throwing it all out. what is the point of keeping old letters and school papers and junk that you can’t read or see? But who knows, maybe I will be able to see again some day. And then they will be nice to have and look back on. There is some great stuff. Like my old gym bag. A cloth bag with some kind of bembroidery of Slimer from Ghost Busters. I must have made that in 1st grade or something. And used it for gym clothes. Wicked. I also found the old Smashing Pumpkins T-shirt that Ske gave me. If I remember correctly I think she gave it to me because it was way too big for her. But it turned out to be too small for me. I was a big guy. Well, guess what? I tried it on today, and it fit. How nice. I guess I am smaller than I was back then. Don’t get me wrong, I am still too big a guy. But at least now I can fit the shirt. It’s red and black, I’m not sure it is “adult” enough to be worn outside by a responsible adult like I am. But I can w ear it inside. And if I ever get to go to a concert again.

I am just glad I got the mess cleaned up. I am not completely helpless yet.

In other news, the temperatures have fallen today. From high 20s to low 20s. Much more comfortable. It has even rained for a while. I don’t mind at all.

Other than that I am just counting the days to the next surgery. Ten or thereabouts I think.
