Brumleby autumn

I love these yellows and the faded greens
and the flat low sunlight throwing sharp shadows.



Halloween now

used for recycling stuff








I admire this sturdy well pruned rose
almost a tree












look carefully and you can see how the steering machanism of this long john delivery bike works

made in the Netherlands?

the expensive vernacular oak furniture loved by grandparents is now so much junk - but will it be the antiques of the future?

Eivindsvej



Last summer when I got to these lights (which I had forgotten about) I was exhausted and very disappointed not to be at my last road junction. This time went much better and I has only sat down once instead of fopur or five times.
















and my destination



















with a warm welcome

and thank you for the Ted Hughes poems
Remains of
Elmet












Later I went home by s-tog and hurried onto the departing bus 21 instead of 1a at Hellerup station,
so I walked from Tuborgvej past Instituttet for Blinde og Svagsynede, Blindeinstituttet Rymarksvej 1 2900 Hellerup
to get bus 15 from Ryparken home.

the three small fountains were turned off

They spring from three boulders situated in a bed of pebbles, and normally they provide an audible clue to help the blind people orientate themselves to or from the entrance.


when I got home I ended up watching the first half of the King Vidor film of 1925, Big Parade silent with text in German

wash day


Up early today in Brumleby Copenhagen
about 6:30am

In the old days these were the out door toilets of 1890 vintage
and in use to about 1995






the wash house with first light to the east






full of cycles


the olde coppers (bilers) used to be under the chimney breast
now used for damp air from the dryers






I use the machine on the right lent to us by my kind neighbour

the machines are frost proofed with soil heaters


about three hours later



our kitchen doors







perfume free detergent
(just in case)
on the steps to my bathroom

The water is for passing dogs, birds, cats,
and toddlers splash it too





my big sheets from IKEA (10 years old)

the weather looks a bit grey - raining in north Jutland
warm front coming
