The last few days have been lovely. ‘Social sunday’ Timo and I cycled into Hjorring and I went to Danish church. I got very excited initially as the first song in English but the rest in Danish. It was interesting to follow the words on the screen with the way they are pronounced. What a crazy language full of silent letters 😂.
Then we were invited to lunch with a group of friendly people, yummy lunch and lots of questions about all the dangerous animals in Australia 😂
Then cycled to visit one of the school cooks and her beautiful family for afternoon tea with a traditional Danish cake in their lovely historic home they have bought and are renovating. The beautiful young daughter had been making bracelets and she gave me one, showed me her room and crafting table - such a cutie.
Then cycled back and caught up with all the students as they returned from their winter break. Lots had been skiing in Norway or gone to summer houses etc. and then our two missing flatmates arrived back from their adventures in Italy and Paris.
Monday I was back on kitchen duties and in the afternoon joined the PE group mountain biking in the local forest. Fast teenagers and a fit teacher! They kindly waited at the top of the hills for me. Then in the evening our next work away guy arrived. A young Italian student from Rome. He will be replacing me and just a few cross over days.
Today I was on kitchen hand duties and made the meatloaf topped with bacon for 100+ people. Great recipe and slicing consistency when cooked.
I had been invited to do a presentation on my travel experience to the advanced English class which went well. I had made a PowerPoint with maps and photos. Some good questions afterwards too 😊
This afternoon I joined the Futsal (indoor soccer) group for their class. I was a little nervous how my leg would hold up to it but I managed the warmup and an hour's game with thundering 16&17yr old lads. I made some errors and remembered some of my previous skills and did some goal saving tackles (much to my delight), joined in high fives and our team amazingly won! My cup was full as I so miss having teenage sons and their friends over and daily soccer in the backyard ❤️😊
Then after dinner our little Workaway family of 5 had got chocolate and cake and played Italian ‘Risk’ board game. 😊
