Honestly, the first time I finally thought of putting a photo myself! The feet are not mine, but my husband’s, size 46. I think he will not take offence. The photo is “secret,” because photographing was forbidden in that place. And he was not photographing himself, but me! And only the feet came out! 🤓 Summer 2021….
Some had neither the possibilities nor the desire, some had the desire but not the possibilities; I this summer had possibilities, which I did after all make use of, but I had no desire…. to travel. I am not a tourist and not a traveller, I am a homebody. That is my vice, so to speak “I am a vicious woman.” 10 years already in Norway, and with this vice of mine I have been fighting hard for 10 years! If they propose that I go — I go. But myself — no initiative! I am even afraid to mention any place on the globe, because at once the question will come “do you want to?” and at once one must start planning a trip, and my taciturn husband starts looking for tickets for planes–ferries–ships. I try to keep quiet.
But life turns out that when you “mustn’t,” but you very much want to, you yourselves understand what I mean now, and at the beginning of summer my husband suddenly dreamed of going to Italy in the Tesla, hinting that it was time to “walk” the Tesla around Western Europe, showing a map densely studded with special Supercharge electric charging points, and it would be good to use the advantages of our car in particular, namely free charging (for now!). I put that in brackets because when we bought the electric car they promised a great many “perks,” and now they are “cutting” them.
I quietly agreed, and he at once ordered tickets for the ferry to Denmark. In my soul there remained a hope that he would not take me further than Denmark. 🤣 We booked a hotel room together with buying tickets to Legoland. I love the country of Denmark. It is small, cosy, sweet and beautiful, and close to me in family relations, and also very convenient to get to if you have a car, but if you have no car it is also convenient, because there is a ferry from Kristiansand that will deliver a “pedestrian” to Denmark in 3 hours 15 min. We have used the ferry to Denmark more than once. I like it.
If we go in the morning, my husband orders tickets with breakfast in the restaurant. You sit the whole trip in the restaurant, drink, eat, snack, coffee–juices–Cokes in a river; I call such abundance “keeping up appearances.” I walked through the duty-free shops. I bought myself there a “little black dress size XXL.” As Coco Chanel bequeathed to all women, to have a little black dress, so I fulfilled her bequest! 🤣 Inspired by my unplanned purchase, I thought, why not go further than Denmark and “walk” my little dress.
