The new sofa. Finally comfortable seating for everyone in front of the fireplace. Also works very well for an afternoon nap :-). The lamp doesn't fit in well anylonger - got to change it some time.

The grey carpet is gone! The carpet in the living room had been annoying me for years, and this year there were many ugly stains on it. Now we have ripped it out. Exposed was the 36 year old wooden floor, with a nice golden colour. To protect the floor we are getting a sisal carpet which will cover only parts of the floor.

Mackarels on the pan. Friends of ours went on a fishing trip last week with M/S Mille from Hirtshals (www.ms-mille.dk). They are no professionals but never the less caught two medium sized cods and about 20 smaller mackarels. Mackarel is something we usually eat smoked, but these small mackarels got fried and ended up delicious: marinate the fishes in a mixture of Worcester sauce and lemon juice and pepper for half an hour and then fry on a pan in oil at high temperature for 3-5 minutes on each side. The boat ride with M/S Mille was a real adventures for our visitors. A 4 hour trip costs DKK 200 for adults and half this amount for accompanying children unter 12.

Sunsets in August. Two different evenings; two different shows.
