Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t I?

Because it’s autumn and the trees are all shedding, the nests from the previous spring are even more obvious. I never noticed this in Denmark. But here all the trees have empty nests, and coupled with the season they look doubly lonely. These are some nests I can see from my window, and every [...]

It’s weird; sometimes when I don’t go out I find myself jonesing for a gimik fix. Somewhere to go to. Someplace to be other than here at home. Just to do something. Days like these I have to remind myself not to text everyone [...]
