Orage

Kendrick has grey cross shoulder backpack that is really good for travelling. It's light, but easily expandable. It's got a ton of useful pockets and it's even good for transporting documents. I've become quite attached to it, to the point where Kendrick and Tristany have complained that I was cramping their style. We call the bag Orage because of the name of the brand - Orage means storm in French.

Last night we experienced our first orage last night in Denmark. The rain was pouring down, and although all our outer windows were closed, I realized that water was getting in anyways and I had to run around wiping up the water and closing the inner windows.

The lightning was fantastic and I longed to go onto the rooftop terrace to see it. Kendrick had lots to say about the safety issues involved with that idea, so I settled for watching it from our window. I love going to sleep when it storms.

Danish weather is normally drizzly, not stormy. Here is a good link about the climate in Denmark: http://weather.denmark.dk/ April is apparently the sunniest month.

It's supposed to rain all week but clear up on Sunday, just in time for a very special visitor - Kendrick's brother Reg!! Yes, we will have our first visitor from Canada, and as promised, Kendrick and I are going to have a BBQ on the roof top in his honour. We're really excited to have a visitor, especially when it's somebody so close.
