Brumleby autumn

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

Halloween now









an house plant running wild?













the Swiss hut

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?

and did all their own painting and decorating too

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

walking to be fit

Total Jobs: "Work:Life balance is the holy grail of the 21st century. Everyone wants it but most of us don't come close to achieving it. While the government sits down with trade union leaders and the CBI to discuss plans for changing work patterns, there are instant actions you can take. Try the following eight steps recommended by Totaljobs' panel of experts to improve the quality and productivity of your life.

Walk to work

Amazing though it seems, the more exercise you take, the more energy you'll have. It raises your endorphin levels too so you'll enjoy work and play more. For people with very busy lives, spending time in the gym may not be feasible. If you live within reasonable distance of work why not try walking - it's the best fat burning exercise there is! If work is further away then put your hard hat on and cycle. Saves on transport costs and you'll have that warm glow knowing you're doing your bit for the planet too." snipped

or cycle like many Danes do
Of course I have been spoiled all my life
because my hobbies tend to turn into gainful employment

Appreciate yourself

Look into the mirror at the beginning of each day and say these words: "I am a unique person. Today I will make the most of my gifts and talents and share them with the world". A spot of positive thinking never harmed anyone...

too tired to add the snaps just now


"Kirsten Piil var pigen, der i 1583 gik en tur i Dyrehaven og fandt Kilden,
som blev tillagt helbredende kraft. Specielt omkring Sankt Hans mente man,
at kilden havde livgivende virkning og folk drog hertil i flok for vandets skyld.

I dag er det de færreste, der kommer herud alene for
vandets skyld - men Kirsten Piils Kilde er her stadig og har sit
udspring under terrassen ved det gamle traktørsted fra 1927."

and a Lesley Walker is walking up hills

During the course of the day I have walked 3043 steps or 1.674km if my pedometer is to be believed. That's not even enough to earn me 1 weight-watchers brownie point. I can see I'll have to put a bit more into it.

I walked past Søren Kirkegaard's grave yesterday

Gunnar Nu Hansens Plads

I just walked out around the block to get the latest SE og HØR weekly scandal sheet which comes out on Thursdays in order to see what is on TV

Front page featured Dansk Folkepartis eks-kulturelle ordfører (the house wive's party spokesman about culture) a member of the danish parliament Louise Frevert
with some embarrassing photographs from her student days.

I went to the 7-Eleven by Gunnar Nu Hansens Plads - the square dedicated to the late football radio commentator - and snapped this bar in a glass box.

weekly weigh in

This is the other side of the former bath house
Brumleby, Copenhagen now an appartment and a shop at Østerbrogade 57 2100

The evening sun is low at about 4:15 pm

(the estate had outdoor toilets and no baths until the last renovation which was finished in July 1996., before that we used the swimming baths, Øbro-hallen, which had wonderful BIG baths in cubicles in the cellar, or one of the town's other bath houses)


yes I went by the doctor
170.6 kg

but I climbed two and a half flights of stairs to get to the surgery
non stop and first time for years I did not take the elevator / lift

I was puffing and blowing but that is natural

blank walls

these Brumleby apples need to be picked ,
but this blog is about the blank wall, the gable, at 230 Widney Lane, Solihull

and my yellow roses, Golden Rain, have reacted well to my early September pruning.
















one solution would be to grow vines.
black grapes do best here

but the Halfpenny Green people should be asked which is the best variety for the local climate.

Next I walked past some more sculpture

and out past Naturcenter Vestamager

to commence the a long straight walk down Granatvej (about 3 or 4 kilomters to the sea)





to my right the sun went down behind Avedøre power station on the next island










just after the moment of sunset
































these blurred black cows were knee deep in the mist and bawling occaisonally

their stink filled the reans


Safely held in by an electric fence,
one made a play attack with thundering hooves and made me jump,
but just stopped short of the fence behind the reeds











next I turned left along Elvehøjvej to Søndre pumpe
past lots of wading and water birds
mange vade- og svømmefugle som ænder, skalleslugere, lappedykkere, svaner og blishøns.
which I could hear but not see

Søndre pumpe
where I sat on the steps by the drainage canal and I saw a shooting star and wished.
I think I glimpsed the Milky Way, but there was still too much light pollution to be certain.

Hejresen på Vestamager

Then I turned homewards towards the glow of the city lights east then north o along Kanalvej

I walked out to Kongenlundsvej and buses

and close to Goudavej I found this traffic victim















stopped as if in mid gallop





















from
Nøraagersmindevej I rode bus 36 to Tårnby station
