I had a great walk from Brumleby to Raadhusplads in Copenhagen and along the dam the lakes where all the birds were hanging about waiting to be fed
but there was too much wind chill and it was too murky to attempt any snaps.


Then I took a short cut through the Botanical Gardens coming out at 400 pm just as the gates were being locked

and to Netto Nørreport where 6 empty bottles plus cash gave one new Aalborg Taffel Akvavit - 45%

and across the Old Square to Strøget

I used to be much too busy in December as a musician with 20 or 30 Yule Concerts and carols, or later as a taxi driver, ever to stand here before in more than 20 years in Denmark




three trees for the three towers of the Copenhagen arms on the Town Hall








waiting for the 5:00 pm bus
gave me time to look at the tree

To achieve this long walk without a rest means my health is getting better.

I am sorry that I was too tired to complete this on the day, because there were many failed uploads of pictures by blogger

26. nov Fly rammer togkabler
Et såkaldt ultralet fly fik ikke luft nok under vingerne og fløj ind i s-togskablerne ved Kildedal Station. Piloten slap dog med skrækken.




Et ultralet fly ramte i formiddag køreledningerne til s-togene ved Måløv nord for København.
Flyet var netop lettet fra den lokale flyveklubs bane ved Kildedal, der ligger lige ved togstrækningen.
Formanden for flyveklubben Albatros,
Freddy Adelvard, oplyser, at vinden fik fat i flyet på en uheldig måde, da det netop var kommet i luften, og derfor ramte flyet køreledningerne.

We are located about 25 km west of downtown Copenhagen.
We are about 125 members including around 40 UL pilots, 25 passive members and 60 Radio Control (electroflyer) pilots.

On the aerodrome, there are about 10 Ultra Lights parked, including RANS 6, N3-PUP, Challenger, Z-MAX, Allegro 2000, Savannah and Flightstar. The planes are using our 280 meter airstrip 09/27.

Flysikkerhed (FLYSIK):
I think Prince Charles trashed a plane with a down wind landing once too

on the Scottish island of Islay where the Prince crashed his jet. It was hushed up and kept from the tabloids, though. Seems that he was told by the tower to "go around" and make another approach, but made a downwind landing anyway, overshot the runway and put the jet into a peat bog. The impact apparently was enough to tear off the main gear and send the nose wheel up into the cockpit, though all escaped injury. The jet's still there where they are building a hangar around it until it can be repaired

Danish Emigration Archives

I wanted to go to
Landsarkivet for Sjælland, Lolland-Falster og Bornholm to check an entry in The Danish Emigration Archives

The Danish parliament passed more stringent regulations on May 1, 1868. According to the new law, The Copenhagen Chief of Police was to approve and monitor all emigration agents in Denmark and authorize all overseas tickets made out in Denmark. This was to be done whether an emigrant would be traveling directly from Copenhagen to the United States or indirectly via another European harbor for destinations overseas. As an extra measure of control, all the information from each ticket was copied down in ledgers, and thus became the Copenhagen Police Records of Emigrants.
but that archive LAK was closed on MONDAYS

slim dairy

Adequate calcium and protein (not more than 200 grams protein a day because any excess is merely excreted) is essential.
I certainly eat a lot of skimmed milk and modest amounts of cheese
I was in LIDL and thrilled to get some KVARK AKA fromage blanc AKA KVARG which is fermented skimmed milk

Rockford's Newspaper Rock River Times rockford illinois news information: "Two separate clinical trials of obese . . . adults published recently in Obesity Research(1) reveal that including three servings of dairy daily results in greater fat loss and in either keeping or increasing lean mass. When following a reduced-calorie diet, participants lost twice as much weight and fat when consuming more dairy."

http://www.keithhunt.com/Food14.html
is a biased view of milk although some truth in what is said - but I will dispute the conclusion (all milk is unhealthy)

Dr. Werner Zabel is one of the most famous European nutrition oriented doctors. He is a cancer specialist and director of his own famous clinic in Berchtesgaden.

In his clinic all patients are given what Dr. Zabel calls an optimum diet. Number one source of protein in this diet is what Europeans call "kvark", a homemade cottage cheese, made from low-fat, raw milk.

Kvark is made in the following manner:-
Lactobacillus acidophilus culture is added to fresh raw milk.
When the milk is coagulated by the action of the bacteria, the cream that settles on the top is removed and all the curds are separated from the milk by running it through a fine sieve. The resulting low-fat cottage cheese is a very natural, unheated product, a very easily digested protein of the highest biological value.
A pint of such cottage cheese contains about 100 grams of protein.

Of course, in European clinics, they also use the whey, which is the liquid that is left over after the curds are taken away.

Whey [skimmed milk] is an extremely important food.
It contains the minerals of the milk and the milk sugar, lactose. It also contains a very important substance, orotic acid, known to help in the regeneration of a damaged liver.

and this kind of mono diet is dangerous and boring
my mother lived to be 90 years and swore by a GOOD MIXED DIET (ie fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, diary products) wine and sprits too
personally I seldom eat yoghurt prefering to keep to low fat cottage cheese and skimmed or "mini" milk.

"Quark" is spelled "kvark" in Swedish and does mean a type of curd cheese. ... http://www.factbites.com/topics/Quark-food

rugbrød

The cheapest ryebread from NETTO has to be cut up - so I found this guillotine
in a skip - the thickness measure and finger guard are missing, AKA Raadvad rugbrødsskærer and it still does the job, but I store it seven feet up, in case a child should get hold of it and lose some fingers.

Fresh ryebread is so tasty that the nineteenth century danish farmers, in order to economise, used to store it for a month before letting the servants have it, and my faeroese fisherman friend from Nolsóy used to say that it was more healthy and digestable when that old.
As a child born about 1910 he had to quern the grain by hand between two stones until he had enough to fill a biscuit tin for that day's bread for the family. Their home had an early form of central heating - cows in the cellar.

I had my first Prestige pressure cooker in 1960 and this enables me to do quick low fat cooking.

When I get very cheap vegetables obviously they don't keep.

The three lettuce for 15 kroner below needed the brown bits trimming off and chopping up into small squares, then with two of the peppers diced, a carrot and an onion, they went into the cooker with a stock cube and a small measure of rice, and some frozen fish, liberally flavoured with paprika, chilly powder and ground white pepper which made for a very very tasty low calory dish.

Mega delicious - another of my master soups - lettuce with pepper.
