Long time, no blog. I've been busy, starting up life again. I'm now settling in quite well in my new job and my new flat, which I just simply adore.
One thing that has surprised me about moving home, is the feeling of being a bit of a stranger in my own country. I still think about and judge some things the way I would in Dublin, and really have to get used to thinking like a Danish person again. Very weird feeling, I can tell you.... But I guess, it's only natural, after 6 years in Ireland.
Anyway, my new flat is turning out quite gorgeous, if I may say so myself. There are only 2 1/2 boxes left to unpack (mostly books, for which there was no room in the book case). Most of my furniture has been sourced from a wide range of relatives, which means that things have a history to them that make them special, regardless of brand, colour or material. I really like that. Makes me feel very much at home.
Then there is the story with the Mystery Box. During unpacking, there were some things that did not turn up, and they have yet to do so. There are no boxes left at my parents' house and it has not found its way to my siblings either, by mistake or something. I cannot for the life of me remember whether I already got rid of the things I am now missing, but it would be the logical explanation. Although why I would throw out perfectly good knives and drinking glasses is beyond me at present. But then again, a whole cardboard box can't just disappear into thin air. Or can it? One of those things that make you go aaargh.... where is the darn thing? Oh well........ I'll either find out or I won't, and that's that!
Otherwise, it's been a gloriously sunny couple of weeks in Denmark now (but we could use some rain soon, the drought is setting in), and I haven't worn a jacket all this week! *gasp*
I haven't been going out much in my spare time - I mostly just chilled out at home, went shopping. I think I just really needed some total down time.
