Tomorrow, April 28 here in the US, is hubby and my 17th wedding anniversary!! We've both been very busy, especially him, so I went ahead and made reservations at my favorite restaurant for tomorrow night. To be fair, he likes that restaurant a lot too. He has SEVERAL favorite restaurants, so this works. I also bought him a new bow tie that he'lll get as a surprise tomorrow night (He only wears bow ties and has a lot of fun with them.)
I wasn't expecting anything from him because he's been so busy- AND he'll be very busy tomorrow during the day- so I was happily surprised today when he brought me THESE:

All caught up, I think.
Daughter and I went “giant-hunting” today. A Danish artist used scrap wood to create what he called the Six Forgotten Giants in different woods on the outskirts of Copenhagen. He provided a rough map, and the idea is that you go hiking and try to find the giants (all of which were later geolocated by other people, thank God!). We saw the first of the six today. Teddy Friendly is so called because one of his arms serves as a bridge across a stream.

We also ran into a psychopathic swan that seemed determined to corner and attack my daughter, until I mirrored its behavior - spread out my “wings” and hissed back. After which the bird paused for a moment, then withdrew back to its lake in as dignified a manner as only a swan can. :rolleyes: Perhaps it had a nest somewhere around there, but we hadn’t noticed.

The giants are cool!

I don’t have a problem with the royals. They do a lot of good work. I’m not one to get worked up by media celebrity frenzy though.

I think foreigners get more excited by our royals than we do... Hype just isn’t the British way. We are a reserved nation.

Yeah.... i wasnt sure about all the US hype on the naming event... then again, i couldnt understand the Brits who lined up outside the hospital days in advance of the “birth”... must be a better way to spend ones time than sat on a pavement...

Anyhow... “can’t wait now for the big wedding” :)

That giant is SOOO COOL!!!!![emoji2]
(And your daughter is adorable!)[emoji173]️
I think it’s GREAT that you “spoke” to the swan in his own language and it worked!!!!! [emoji2] Very creative idea!
