Akvarium

Up early expecting an empty black house, but Gillian surprised me. Her flight had been cancelled in the middle of the night and bumped till the next morning. Another goodbye to Gillian, who I'd really enjoyed meeting again. Still she had to travel to Copenhagen today, so Toby drove her there and back with Romy. 

Lorraine and I drove up to Hvide Sande, and had a look many shops although bought nothing other than a wee pressie for baby Enzo. I was tempted for myself by a teeshirt with a seagull version of The Scream by Edvard Munch. Then we went to look at the people fishing on the harbour walls in the water that links the Rinkøbing Fjord to the North Sea, then to the nearby Akvarium and fishing museum. Many tanks of drab looking North Sea fish, but I was happy. Then north to the next town where there was a more upmarket food store called Meny, where we bought a chicken and some provisions. Home again, and after a spot of a late and sausagey lunch I went for a walk over the dune, and got lost in a happy place looking at interesting stones. Back, and Lorraine had been cooking. Toby and Romy returned having been in the car all day and I joined them for a rapid walk along the seashore. 

Home to chicken and potatoes and salad. All very cheery. Not too long after Nori and Verna arrived. Both a bundle of energy, which rather surprised me after their delayed journey from the US, and then a three hour drive from Copenhagen. 

Below a couple of fish faces from the Akvarium; some nice flat stones, and Toby and Romy by the seaside, and Romy in the sea.
