I love listen to the radio and I was listening to a very interesting interview yesterday about the television and it’s future in (this case) danish homes. The tendecy is little home theatres. Out goes the old home alter and in comes home theater chairs, high definition flat screen televisions - in several rooms such as the bedroom, livingroom and of course? - kitchen!

I must admit I wouldn’t mind to have our television replaced with a flat screen tv instead of the big chunk we have now taking up a lot of space in the livingroom. I highly doubt I would like a television in the kitchen or bathroom - I am personally getting stressed out by constant visual input so I have a radio (a very oldschool version) in the kitchen.

So my conclusion to the new trend must be that we stick to our current furniture and hopefully get our television replaced with a more modern one - but that we won’t hesitate visiting those who implement the entire theatre package in their homes to get the total movie experience away from the usual cinemas.

We ended up having Sally put down. She was not developing right and she was almost apathic in the end. I must admit I don’t feel too bad about it because I know that the outcome would have been bad no matter what - so I am just happy that she isn’t suffering no more. She was only 6 months old - and it was my husband who brought her to her final destination at the vet.

I won’t say that we are never going to buy a dog again but I feel that we need to “get over” Sally completely first. My daughter - who is almost two years now doesn’t seem to have noticed that Sally is missing so I doubt she will even remember her - and in a way I think that is a good thing. Rest in peace Sally.

The Unseen - Fibromyalgia

Have you ever heard of fibromyalgia? I had never heard of it until recently. It’s a condition that a lot of people suffer from and causes pain in joins and muscles, difficulties concentrating and the feeling of being tired constantly. The condition have been found in both genders of all ages but it’s mostly women who have the condition.

The disease is not completely cureable and even that you can learn to handle the pain or “control” it with medication it must indded be terrible to live with a disease like this. I am happy that a lot of research are being put into it - especially to get rid of fake medicin and whatelse pops-up when there are money to earn on desperate people.

It is also important not to confuse fibromyalgia with a mental disease - not that many years ago the disease was being blamed on PMS, mental unstability and so on but the WHO have acknowledged the diagnosis and hopefully a lot more research will be done because of that!

Writing - In Hand

I am not a spammer - but I am sending out a lot of postcards and letter to my family members. I do this to keep “pinging” them - because ever since I moved here - which is as far as you get in Denmark away from my family I have noticed that it takes extra work - even with family - to stay in touch.

People don’t really feel that obligated to response to an e-mail as they do a handwritten letter and to be honest - most of my family are not too keen on any technical stuff. I like to receive letters the old fashioned way and I like to send them as well. There is nothing more personal than a handwritten letter and I hope that we in the future will not completely forget how to write in hand - but I don’t think the future looks too bright when it comes to that either (because a lot of things certainly doesn’t look too bright - but that is another story, another post - another time).

When I think about a completely normal day the amount of writing I do in hand is also very limited. I write my grocerylists and postcard - but it’s mostly when I sign something I write in hand. I don’t mind it that much - especially because I am lefthanded and always have had trouble writing without a smear!

So I suggest that we all take a day sometimes where we practise out handwriting and treasure that we are the only ones writing exactly like we do. Because a personal handwriting IS personal and because writing isn’t the same as typing.

Tools Are Not Enough

Last year we moved into our new house on the country. It’s a great house - but to make it exactly as we want it - a lot of work will be needed. I am sure the house in the end will be absolutely amazing and just how we wish it to be but that is indeed a long road - especially because everything always take longer and cost more than calculated in the first place.

It is also fairly easy to get our hands on the right tools such as air tools but we also need someone who knows how to work them and we don’t feel that great about constantly asking the few “handy-men” we know to spend their weekends working on our house. Hopefully we can be at some use to them some other time.

I have started working on the garden and hopefully we will be able to save a lot of money from growing out own veggies - I am a vegetarian so of course veggies is what I eat the most - and in case we are able to save up a little extra I am certain they will be used for tools - and tool user bribes!
