It’s Friday, yay! Which means not only the start of the weekend and party time but – all through the month of November and December – Julefrokosten! The Danish office party! (You’ll remember that the first ‘snow’ fell last Friday – Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! – so the streets are already awash with Julebryg, yule brew/Christmas beer.)
Are you off to an office party tonight? Or, I should really say, this afternoon? ‘Cos they normally start in the early afternoon and carry on until the wee, small hours. And are you, like every good Girl Guide or Boy Scout, “well prepared”? Here’s a helpful checklist I saw in the window of our local chemist/drugstore (the MATAS chain)…
- nailfile
- lipstick/lip gloss
- tights
- hairspray
- glitter
- hairspray
- hair accessories
- condoms (!)
- deodorant
- perfume, handbag size
- powder
- glitter for nails and body
- SP12 chewing gum
- MATAS plaster for blisters
.
Um, with that little lot, you’re going to be needing a shopper rather than a tiny clutch bag, ladies! 😛
Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Diane 🙂
Hej! (I don't speak Danish. Sorry")
Hvordan har du det?
I am a Brazilian man, 54 years old, who has much sympathy for Denmark.
I'm an economist and lawyer. I am currently a public servant in the State of Bahia, exercising cago Auditor of Public Accounts of Bahia Municipalities.
In a few years I intend to go live in Europe. They know will not be in Denmark.
I will be there soon to get to know this beautiful country inhabited by very nice, educated and hospitable people.
A big hug friend of the Danes
