kiwi in copenhagen: happy birthday to me..!

This week I turned another year older but not wiser hehe. My birthday was on Tuesday, it has been a while since I had my birthday on a week day. The last couple of birthdays were on Sat, then Sun. So I guess it was pretty much like a normal day, work then pilates.. Then I went round to Kirsten and Anders for dinner, I love that they live so close cause Wednesday I had an 8am start at work.

Thursday this week we had a team dinner at Pirita's place. It was really nice to see Ashraf again, we miss him not being at work. In the picture below is Ashraf, Michaela and me.

After dinner I went to meet with Alex to discuss the party on Saturday. He was at this great little bar in the centre of the city with a live ska band playing and lots of interesting looking people with tattoos and lots of style.

For once I was sensible and even though ended up going to Friday bar for a little while did not have anything to drink. That night I watched a very sweet movie called Lars and the Real Girl, it was a real giggle.

Saturday it was birthday party day =)
It was also raining a lot.. I biked around to Pirita's getting very wet in the process and then her, Hans and me headed out again to go shopping. We went to 3 different supermarkets but still didn't have all we needed. Pirita's apartment is in a very nice area right near the royal palace but it lacks a lot of the stores we get further out of the city. So we also took a bus back almost to my place to get the last stuff from Fotex. We were worried that people may not some becuase of the bad weather and already had a few people say they wouldn't be coming but it ended up being a good crowd. Alex turned up and was put straight to work making the cocktails. I had tried to get the garnish thing happeneing but then people were eating them =) So we gave up on that. Once the strawberry daiquiris started coming they were very popular. It was a really great night and once again I am so thankful for the people I have met here from Saxo. All so different and interesting and lovely fun people. We only had one bunch of random people turn up later in the night. I'm not sure how they heard of the party. Later we moved from Pirita and Han's to Luux bar. I think I'd had too many cocktails by then because it wasn't so much fun like on George's party. George and Wayne wanted me to go to the African bar with them but I went home by taxi as I don't think I could have biked!
I will post the pics on my web album, had a real laugh looking at them tonight. Unfortunately someone was not using the flash so a lot are blurry but there are some great ones =)
