En hyggelig Fødselsdag - A cosy birthday.
Written by Henrik Salling.
As you know Nikolai turned thirteen recently and he was celebrated by family and friends on the day.
At 16.00 Mary and Christian came strolling to the house on Svanemøllevej, where Nikolai lives.
Isabella wasn't there. Mary explained: "It didn't suit that well today".
Christian may be a big boy now, but no stronger than opening the door to the garden was quite a struggle for him.
A couple of hours later Mary and Christian left: "It was a very cosy birthday". (*)
Also there to clebrate were Martin Jørgensen's (no, he hadn't shaved) parents. (**)
Frederik couldn't attend, he was in Venezia (Venice) nor could Joachim and our Marie.
(*) Let's go through the hard to define Danish word: "hyggelig" again. It litterally means cosy, but it's really a description of a mood, where you feel completely comfortable and relaxed among close friends and family.
(**) With all due respect for Jakob and Jane Jørgensen, who are probably very nice persons, when I looked at the picture in the article I honestly thought Jakob Jørgensen was a woman!
I know this was just a family occasion, but to a child a birthday is still a big thing, so did they have to dress almost demonstratively casual?
