A field full of grote kattenstaart in the dunes. Literal translation: large cat's tail, English name: purple loosestrife. That's a weird name, loosestrife. If anyone has any idea (or a wild guess) about the etymology ....

We’re in Danmark. We had some heavy traffic, we arrived a few hours later than planned. The kitchen of the restaurant at our hotel was closed already, but one of the guys provided us with coffee and a large plate of great bread and lovely cheeses. Nice!
 
@Gandhalfit You’ll love Denmark, they have plenty of rain! Personally I don’t mind rain, as long as it’s not an all day shower like that day.

@Gandhalfit @Fremen @Anek @Tileenah Thanks!

We’re still in Denmark. Visited Odense, which is quite boring if you’re not that much into Hans Christian Andersen. We’re staying in Copenhagen now, a lovely city, as far from boring as can be.

The contraption in the picture is called a tebirkes and now that you know, the best you can do for yourself is forget what it is, what it looks like and never look up the recipe or visit a Danish bakery.
 
@Gandhalfit you’re on topic?

We’re home again. Already looking forward to a next visit to Denmark.
 
@Gandhalfit Autocorrect :oops: It does weird things sometimes. You’re right about the summers, they’re not that hot in Denmark. I guess they do have their occasional heatwave, but usually the summer temperature is just right for me.

@CODawn thank you!

.... and I'm back!

The good bit: I've continued my streak and I'm now at 1293 continuous days of exercise. The not so good bit: the past year hasn't been a very good year, mental health wise. I'm prone to periods of depression and looking back now, this was a bad one. I'm still not completely well but I'm on my way back. I was thrown off balance by a combination of work related and at home stuff. A few days ago I was looking what my phone has registered as my sleeping hours: my average is 6 hours per night for a period of at least 2 years. That's not what I want and it's not what I need. So I'm going to work on that.

A lot of parasol mushrooms today, an easy recognisable and very big mushroom. I saw a few with 30 cm diameter caps and they can get even bigger.
 
@NancyTree Thanks! Holding on to the streak is has become an extra motivation. I’d be so displeased with myself if I’d had to start all over again.

@Anek That’s not a very complicated preparation … I’ll be on the lookout for mushrooms outside the nature reserve (it’s not allowed to pick anything there) and I’ll report back when I’ve tried them.
