Birmingham by night 

Going back to Birmingham

It’s now settled. I’m going to Birmingham to see a specialist. He can’t cure my back disease, nobody can, but hopefully he’ll be able to help with some pain treatment. I’ll be leaving on Sunday and although the trip will be hard on me, I hope something good will come out of it in the end.

Don with Rocky 

Visiting Silkeborg again

Tuesday I went to Silkeborg on a crisp October-morning and Don picked me up at the station. We then went to the house where I was introduced to Rocky, Don’s 10 weeks old Golden Retriever-puppy. It was just so cute! We went to have lunch in town (excellent buffet, by the way) and then back home to do a short Slade box interview and some pics. After that we worked a bit on Bibble and just chatted and as the day progressed, more and more family-members got home from school and work. We all had a lovely dinner together (thanks, Hanne!) and in the evening Don and Hanne drove me to the station. As usual a superb day in superb company.

Don, 60 years old! 

Don’s birthday

Sunday I went over to Hanne and Don to help out Hanne with a surprise-party for Don’s birthday. He turned 60 Sunday. We had such a nice time preparing the party and the party itself was wonderful. Don had no idea and was very surprised to get home from the Czech Republic to find his house filled with guests, a rock band and lots of food and cake! We all had a great time. I stayed over for the night and slept like a log for the first time in months! I had to be helped out of bed the next morning, though, as I couldn’t get up on my own because of my back. Don then drove me to the station, so I could be home in time for Tea getting back from school. Thanks for a wonderful time, guys!

At the new house. It's beautiful! Don't muscle in on me, Don! We know you have good biceps (or whatever those muscle-things are called!).
