Another day with just too good weather to stay inside working all day long… and again my supervisor made a very spontaneous and again awesome decision… “Let’s go sailing, today!”… and so we went out for another fine sailing turn with some more members of the HEP group. This time we sailed out on his Bandholm-like sailboat called Artemis. After crusing around for a while we stopped at a beach in the north of Copenhagen and went for a swim…
just beautiful!

And the winner is…
a French!
And the competition: snail spitting!
Yes… right!
Just take a living snail from the beaches in the north of France, put it in your mouth and spit it out as far as you can… sounds easy (and disgusting)… reach 10.41m and get World Champion like 45 year old Alain Jourdren just did to defend his title… great isn’t it?!
I love this world…
The samba is back…
… and even lazy Ronaldo started moving his back, scoring two goals and now sharing the record of most goals in World Cup history… I’ll be optimistic and take this game as the return of the brazillian style… even though I have to admit that I wasn’t sure whether I should celebrate or damn this fourth goal… I bet 1:3… damit/go Brazil!
World Cup Gamble and Patriotism
Tough weekend… four results that almost nobody could foresee!
The german female gambler being in the lonely lead at the beginning of the weekend (my lovely girlfriend) got caught up and my good friend from down under was actually right with his public announced bet on the Brazil game (even though he completely failed in the other ones)…
But I like the “patriotic” “Go Pacific!!!” attitude…
in Germany some people think patriotism is something that we still can’t take liberty of…
a discussion that just came up again, caused by the heaps of german flags out in the streets.
What it’s like to be a sailor…
… today I at least got a bit closer to the answer to that question!
Instead of watching the France-Switzerland game I accepted Troels’ sponteaneous offer to go sailing… which in many ways turned out to be the right decision. First the game must have been somewhat boring (0:0) and second, the trip was just great… beautiful weather, windy enough to sail but not to windy to get seasick (which I was a bit afraid of)…
so just a perfect afternoon…
… unfortunately the evening (Brazil game) wasn’t as exciting…<
