Let’s meet after work and hope for nice warm weather. Bring your own beer (wine, soft drinks etc.), a picnic (if you wish), and a blanket to sit on. Children are welcome. Don’t forget your suntan lotion, sunglasses and sun hat, etc.

We’ll meet in Ørsteds Park, on the grass near the corner of Ahlefeldtsgade and Norre Voldgade, overlooking the lake. It’s only a block from Norreport station and convenient to the market at Israels Plads. Call or text me at 5015 1275 if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you!

If it’s raining, we’ll adjourn to Orestads beer bar (corner of Turesensgade and Norre Farimagsgade).

Start time for the event is 5 PM, and we’ll wrap up about 8 PM.

My wife and I enjoyed viewing the current display at the Danish Architecture Centre, on Strandgade in Christianshavn. It covers the latest research into the physical properties of building materials. You can learn what’s on offer in wood, metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, and energy-saving materials. The centre is open from 10-5 daily and until 9 pm on Wednesdays. Admission is 40 kr. The display runs until June 5th.

A display of 11 short films on the theme of ghosts. By Guy Maddin (Canadian film-maker). At Overgaden art gallery, Neden Vandet 17 in Christianshavn. On now until June 3rd. Free admission. Open Tuesday – Sunday 1-5 PM, Thursday til 8 PM. Maddin’s style mimics that of silent movies and early motion pictures.
