Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.’
You may ask yourself why? It’s Edgar Allan Poe’s 200th birthday today!
Another year … another Julefrokost (or Christmas Lunch, if you prefer).
This time the first one (at least for me) outside of Copenhagen, but since most of the young guys, from my time at NBI, are at CERN these days not much of a change …
the menue was (too) great and big as usual … fish, fish, fish and pork, pork, pork … and of course a lot of alcohol … after all its a Danish Christmas party ;)
A lot of fun that was even increased by the fact that Heike was around for the weekend (unfortunately only for the weekend :( )
This post is just for you … you kind of asked for it just after loosing our best-of-fifteen 8-ball match (by 8:1)!!!
Next time … ;)
just wanted to wish all my loyal readers a Merry Christmas and a lot of cool presents ;-)
I certainly got som cool ones … I might write some more later.
Now I gotta go eat some more Christmas lunches/dinners … puhhh!
Enjoy!!!
During my last visit to Hamburg for the Helmholtz-Alliance Kick-Off Meeting (what a name!?) I took a little break and went indoor climbing with some friends (greetz Lea and Michael).
It’s been a while since my last visit to one of these expensive places (roughly 15 Euro entrancefee). Still its always very much fun … at least until the point where my fingers couldn’t hold anything anymore, including me! I’m looking forward for more …
