Torgeir came home to have dinner with us yesterday, and to talk about books and travels. One thing lead to another, and using my computer he ended up booking two trips. He will be going to Iceland in April and will then be able to watch Agúst in Oliver Twist, and he will travel to Croatia in August........with the rest of us.
My mother's birthday was filled with presents, one of them was not one she recieved but instead is giving out, to children and grandchildren. A week together in Dubrovnik/Croatia in August. My parents did the same 11 years ago, when 18 of us went to Denmark, then again 5 years ago when we were also 18 spending a week together in Malta. I don't know how many we will be this time, so far we are 17. I have bought Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, a Journey Through Yugoslavia from 1942, and have started the travels there in my dreams. We have added another week to the one from my mother and will be travelling around in the country.
Another book I am reading right now is Mirror to Damascus by Colin Thubron, from 1967. I am reading the Damascus book for a very spesific reason, but that's a story from another day. Just now I am on the airport on my way to Copenhagen, with a 1935 small book in my hands; Pocket Pointers on Copenhagen by Rasmus Naver.

Morning in Copenhagen. Rainy. I will be busy with meetings all day, but hopefully I'll be able to post from the airport when I go home today.The photo in this post was taken two years ago. I had no idea than that I am now staying in the red brick house you see in the left corner :-)
