Danmark er i sandhed et mærkeligt land
Det er ikke noget, jeg er stolt af ……
Det ulmende snæversyn og fremmedhad, og de fladpandede fordomme
Hvorfor i alverden drikker voksne danskere sodavand …..
Moral er godt, dobbeltmoral er dobbelt så godt
Pænt goddaaaaaarrrrrrgh
Udenlandske hjemløse ….
Ting jeg ikke vil savne, når jeg flytter ud af Danmark
Hvorfor i alverden drikker voksne danskere sodavand …..
Vor herre bevares

A new lease of life
Random thoughts while I wait for the first check-up and final pathological results and the verdict: further treatment needed or not
Random thoughts POST-OP
Further random thoughts while waiting for surgery (administrative admittance and preliminary examinations 27 July and surgery 28 July)
Self-pity is an ugly sentiment, but this is hard. Plus, it seems an explanation is due as to why I decided to re-home Max
Surgery postponed till 27 July
Hopefully the last update for a while: a great home for Max found
Update on Max the Schmuselhund
Condemnation all around …

The Balcony that “would not be affected”
Only in Berlin …
Day in, day out, week in, week out, year in, year out
Lies, lies, lies
Their unbelievable arrogance and indifference and lies
One of the few things I miss about Denmark ….
To Cresco Capital Group
No more progress. The more than two-year-old nightmare continues
Progress on “the balcony that would not be affected”?
At least they have not dumped anything on my balcony for the last 48 hours ….
I can’t believe this keeps happening
How much longer?
I always give back what I have borrowed
More Lies
Like a gift that keeps on giving
For the Post Mortem, Assuming there will ever be one
Chapter Number 27 in the Never-ending Saga of the Balcony that would not be Affected
Aww – a little bit too tall to get through there?
Now in stereo
The nightmare that never ends
Neighbours from Hell – two updates in one day? This is getting ridiculous
Neighbours from Hell – the by now almost daily update
They said they had finished. And one more question to which I still have not received a reply
This is exasperating
The saga about the scaffolding continues
I am not going to stop till I get a response
So my balcony would not be affected?
