Sitting at the table having breakfast with the 4yo this morning and a suspicious smell appears from the area where my son sits. Iasked him if he’d done a fart (kid is rotten on the inside, his farts are lethal!). He happily replies: “No, it was my bum saying happy birthday to you!” 🤣🤣

Document in the Danish National Archives from 1916 stating that: "the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland".

I once managed to break my arm by not falling off the horse when show jumping. Horse lost balance - I somehow smacked my arm into the saddle to balance myself - arm broke. Had I fallen off I'd very likely have escaped without a bruise!
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

This year’s edition of “knit a scarf for a lovely friend”, the request was “garden themed.” This makes the last scarf for this group of friends, so I shall now expect them to knit me a scarf for me. And I’ll have nothing to knit!

At a new starter induction I was asked what my favourite item in the archive was. Easy, I love the sperm whale tooth. Then they asked how we could justify keeping objects (not documents) which seemed of no particular evidential value of the company's work. I wonder how other archivists would answer?

I have a Danish lesson to teach a bunch of 7-9 year olds on Saturday, and I’m blank on ideas for a theme. Too early for Christmas, we’ve done autumn… anyone got any bright ideas?

One of the kitchen areas in the office has caused a horrid stink. As a result the facilities team have opened the windows (no one knew the windows could open) and we're now all sitting in our coats complaining about the cold rather than the horrid stench! I guess that's sot of "problem solved"?!

4yo son came back from trick or treating this evening and excitedly showed me his most prized treats- two satsumas! According to the au pair the lady offering them alongside sweets said he was the only child who’d picked the fruit as his treat.
