December 23rd..... .4th Advent... almost there....

So yesterday the 22nd December, I was rather tired, grocery shopping with too many other people out there, watched a bit of TV, fell asleep and went onto reading the latest new book from Author Jussi Adler-Olsen, the 5th book in the series of The Q department. I had promised to have it read before the 24th so my mother could get the book back... all done, so I can start on the next lines of books waiting for me...

So today I had to return the book and went into Copenhagen to give it to a family member. So while I was in there, the snow started and the wind picked up more and more.  Nex time they say it will be very windy and snowstorm, I'm going to get a pair of skiing glasses, it was rather hard to look up from the streets to be sure you walked in the right direction....

Today is the 4th and last Advent day of this year as well "Little Christmas day"... many will celebrate it with those they can't be with on Christmas day, or just be together the day before....

So here is to a day before the 24th December... others celebrate it on the morning of the 25th December... I will see if I get time to post before I leave for Christmas....

Here's to a relaxed Sunday....

A small restaurant in front of some hall where there are two big halls, where you can by local vegetable, meat, cheese or even have a lunch break or dinner...

The tower in the back is The Round tower, something to be seen if you are in Copenhagen one day...

Still snowing when I got back home.... it has started to melt already... slowly.... will see how much is left tomorrow....

Last year I went to Copenhagen Medieval marked, where you can see vikings, knights and battles. I took some photos and have been slow in getting them done, due to new job. But here are some and more will be uploaded, as the Medieval will once again open up next weekend. So if you are near, have a look in there... (there is a price for the entry, then you can walk all over the place and look around.... even buy things people have handmade...) These photos are from the first day and I will post another 2 later on, with more photos from the event. Their homepage is here: http://kmm.dk/ Click on the photo to see them on screen and bigger...

Game of Thrones - The Hall of faces exhibition

Image
Friday May 6th 2016, Game of Thrones - The Hall of faces stopped by Copenhagen, Denmark for 4 days show - on the day before the opening, there was a VIP event where Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) and USA ambassador to Denmark Rufus Gifford with family stopped by. There was even knights and some fans dressed up as character from the show, like Jon Snow with Ygritte and... one Jaime Lannister, which garned a rather throughout lookover from Nikolaj, which caused a good laugh among the fans. Even more when Nikolaj stopped shortly and talked with the 3 knights, who were in full amour - we are talking real amour here - and Nikolaj couldn't help but take off an helmet, both to admire it but also talking about how heavy the amour is in real life - note: these guys do it for real at shows, so don't try this at home, neither with the flames, as the ladies there know what they are doing. Nikolaj really took time with the group of fans dressed up as well the knights despite bei

So a long while back this year, the filming of the movie "The Danish Girl" took place in Copenhagen, Denmark and I found them filming in a very popular area. At a place called Nyhavn, where not only a lot of Danish people go to during summer time, but also a lot of turist will walk around this area. The only minus on those two days I watched and took photos from the filming was, it was rather cold and dull, yet a bit of sun would shine through. So a lot of respect not only for the crew, actors but also the extras providing as background for the actorts... It was really a treat to see a very large area of Nyhavn transformed into an older Copenhagen harbour as well the customes the extras wore. I was to be an extra in this movie but was not chosen, so I was happy to see the filming and take photos instead. I talked with some of the people who had their boats lined up for the movie at the harbour - the other boats which usually is there had been moved away and replaced with olde
