både fugl og fisk …

Der har lige været sommerfest på vores skole. Jeg elsker fester på steiner skoler, der bliver altid festet igennem! (læs:spist kage) - Og ingen fest uden fiskedam. Jeg elsker fiskedam! - Seriøst!

Alle forældre (principielt, altså) bidrager med små pakker til fiskedammen, og dette var mit bidrag…

Her er ét af de 6 nyeste medlemmer af vores familie. Vi er både begejstrede og benovede over de små pus, som næsten ligner pingviner. Er det ikke utroligt, at sådanne bittesmå dunede og bløde tingester kan hakke sig vej ud af et tyktskallet æg?! - Virker vi overdrevent benovede? - det kommer sig måske af at vi for ikke så lang tid siden boede i lejlighed på 4. sal på Nørrebro …

· All parents (theoretically, that is) contribute and this was my contribution …
· What I like the most is making something of »nothing«. Folded paper, fish cut from wall paper. Sea shells with plant dyed wool and a pearl. No, what I like the best - of course - is seeing the happy little faces when the presents are opened!

· This is one of the 6 latest members of our family. We are both thrilled and astonished by the small creatures, which kind of look like penguins. Isn't it simply amazing how theese tiny, downy and soft things are able to peck their way out of the shell of an egg? - Do we seem excessively in awe? - well, perhaps that's because not long ago we lived in a flat on the 4th floor in the city …
