busy, then sick, then move..!!

I was very much looking forward to Wednesday night after a quiet weekend and start to the week. I met with Morten and Maart at a lovely little grungy bar in Norrebro for some cheap beers before heading to Rust to meet with all the others and see Inouwee and The Black Tree play. Inouwee were awesome, Janus was also playing and the singer had a lovely voice. Then was nice to catch up with everyone over a few beers before heading home not too late as work the next day. Thursday I had a lovely quiet night before it was Friday and time to head out again.

I snuck out of work without even looking at the Friday bar and had a few hours at home until it was time to bike to school and meet Morten at the hippie party. We were really early but it was mainly to get in some beers and head to the youth house together for the Omnihil concert. I was not really dressed for the hippie party seeing as I was going to a death metal party and was glad when I got the youth house I fitted in. And then my idea to not get too drunk went out the window when I spied the 20 kroner cocktail bar and tasted the delish (strong!) zombie cocktails the lovely girls had made. It was a short but very loud set by the Omnihil with their new singer. And once again was great to hang out with everyone until a few of us decided to go back and check out the hippie party. Bad idea!! Massive contrast between the very loud death metal and the terrible euro trash pop music at the party. Still it was a very fun and late night.

Lovely graffiti in the most repulsive toilets ever :P

Should have tried the pot chai..

mmm cocktail list

Saturday though I had to be up and met with Barbara, Maart, Ana and Morten to see a play. Lucky the theatre was right near my apartment and at least three of my fellow attendees were as hungover as me. The play was called the Blue Room and described as 'pure theatrical viagra'. I had no idea what to expect but was pleasently surprised as it was a very funny, entertaining show. Then all of us but Maart went to get some dinner while he went to quickly ready his place for a small party later. We headed there after dinner and were joined by some others. It was nice but I had to be up early Sunday so left earlyish and went home to sleep. Seems I made the sensible choice as I got a text from Morten at 6:10am saying he was on his way home.

Maart's couch is rather uncomfortable..

Sunday I woke up and got on my bike to Hellerup for the ANZAC Day commemoration ceremony. There were not so many people I recognised this year but Mark was there and the Cross crew and we had some beers after in the sunny park before heading off to meet at the Cross. We then had a very nice day drinking Aussie beers, eating ANZAC bisciuts, meat pies and lamingtons and watching a very odd game of Aussie rules football. I stayed much later than I thought I would and it finished off a very nice busy weekend.

The service was held in a beautiful park in Hellerup.

Monday I was tired but stuck it out at work and rested when I got home. Tuesday after work I biked straight into town to meet with Pirita and Sarah at the Custom House restaurant as they were having a deal where you could pay half price if you were finished before 7pm. We made the most of this and ordered oysters, steak and wine. It was a very nice meal with lovely company and after dinner we headed to Ruby for some delish cocktails. It would have been nice to have moved already but I biked all the way back home after.

Yummy oysters!

Wednesday night Martin was cat sitting again so I met him at the apartment to watch a movie. It was interesting I guess, I've never seen a vampire movie with so many guns in it before :P I was feeling fine but at some point during the night I started waking up feeling a bit sick. Then when I tried to get up I realised just how sick I was and called in sick and spent the whole day in bed. Friday I was a little better but had no energy after eating nothing the day before. I didn't do much better on that Friday but knew I had to get some energy to move the next day. It was late Friday by the time I stared packing and I had to wake up early on Saturday to get it finshed.

My helpers Barbara, Karl and Martin turned up at 11am and were really helpfull moving everything downstairs. Then was the drive through town avoiding May 1st demonstrations on the way. We soon got everything moved into the new place and I got things sorted with Marianne. Also her Mum turned up with flowers for me which was really nice. Then I shouted my helpers lunch before coming back and relaxing for a little bit. But not long as I had to be back at my old place to meet the people buying my bed. Then biking all the way back to my new home and a few hours of unpacking until I collapsed on the sofa from exhaustion.

Sunday I got to sleep in =) But I did get woken up by a very strange noise and watched my new tv while unpacking. I couldn't avoid it too long though and headed back to the old place to clean. 4 hours later.. I had finally finished cleaning. Marc and Rina gave me a really great graphic novel with Danish artists and Phong came to help me move some shelves I thought I wouldn't need. He has a really cute little car but it fit and was finally all moved.
