Text for the day

Piles

My camera reveals the diversity of my work areas and reminds me of how it´s excactly these different piles of to-dos I hold dearYesterday´s pile of pancakes

Today´s pile of books

Mutual luck and love

Can you believe it? I cant. But it´s true. Seriously - I were permitted to focus all my energy and attention on the terrific task of baking all kinds of lovely stuff I could invent from 6.30 in the morning at the children´s home today - and guess what, I´m even payed for it!
I love it!
And it´s mutual.
Lucky me.

Integration I

I left my new local Marrocan hallal butcher with lamb chops and went to the greengrocer next door to have garlics. Nobody was there to serve.. I knocked on the counter... coughed slightly and after no response i gave voice to a loud i hallo!!?
...Nothing happened. So I putted my head in the back of the shop and repeated my hallo!!? to the man standing right in front of me.
But what was wrong? He didn´t appear to hear me since he didn´t react at all.
Was the poor guy deaf...?
Then - hallo Dummy - his bare feets and the carpet on the floor caught my eyes - he was praying.
How stupid am I! Welcome to Nørrebro.
I made a descreet retreat to the shop, waiting for him to finish his religious praxis to do some bussiness, while I tried to imagined myself (when I were working as the eco girl in the greengrocer Kong Gulerod) likewise totally ignoring my customers, because I were meditating... Impossible!
I got into a Hmpf-impatient-intollerant-mood and left the garlics.
As I crossed the street, he came out of the shop looking for me with a big smile.
I melted, turned and apologized for disturbing him, while he apologized too as I got my garlics and a laugh.
I think I kind of like my new neighbourhood though I´m the foreigner not really familiar with the culture.

Armed

These days a debate about legalization of pepper sprays is going on.
Though I find myself living right where it´s assumed, these are needed as a basic part of one´s handbag, my experience of today thought me,
that if armed with sarcasm as I were today
nobody needs a pepper spray.
