Quack Quack

The other morning we heard a noise at about 6:30am. We thought it was someone already working away with a hammer. No big deal and we ignored it. Then it got really loud and we could tell it was closer. I peeked through the blinds and was surprised to see a duck sitting on our railing. Since we have been waking up to ducks honking away on our balcony and other peoples balconies in the mornings. Usually there are just somewhere between 1 and 5 of them around the area at that time so it's not too bad. When I think of birds that perch, I don't typically think of ducks. I think its funny to look outside and see ducks out there. Something I am not use to that is for sure, or perhaps I am just easily amused!! Sometime I will have to write about the fascination and obsession the Danes have for Donald Duck. It cracks us both up.

I am not sure why all of a sudden we have nothing of interest going on around here. We had a nice relaxing weekend. Well I did :) Saturday morning we headed to Copenhagen for the day had some coffee, had some lunch and just wondered around. Then the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday and most of last night, Michael and his group have been busy busy busy. So he has been at his laptop almost every moment he is home. His group just turned in a chip last night so finally that is all done with. But he still has 2 weeks of hard work ahead of him, just not as bad as this past weekend.

Our new Danish classes are going well and hopefully will continue to do so. I can already tell these classes are going to be more challenging and that the pace is much quicker.Michael and I can carry on a VERY basic conversation with each other, but we know enough that we can stay in conversation for a longer then we thought we would be able to by now and include silly questions and answers, but its a good start.
