We are entering X-Mas Month and Black Friday craziness, but luckily there are also somebody clever, who has invented Buy Nothing Day or Green Friday. I think I have enough of material things already, so I am doing like I always do – and buy the food I need. Which is not much, because I am also a Dumbster guy.
So stay cool. The material things will not make you a happier person. Love, affection an live music will.
X-mas markets are starting up, and you can find one in the weekend at Blågårds Plads. Jægersborggade Designmuseum Den Røde Plads Admiral Gjeddes Gård
Drinks some Gløgg and good Christmas Beer and eat some Brown Cakes and pepper nuts.
