Danish painter, Søren Hjorth Nielsen (August 2, 1901 - 1983), had a many-faceted artistic career. He also served as professor at the Royal Danish Art Academy.

What role do you think literature and storytelling play in breaking down stereotypes about mental health? Tucked away in a quaint 'kolonihave' (allotment) on the outskirts of Copenhagen, I had the pleasure of photographing author Fine Gråbøl for The Telegraph. Her novel 'What Kingdom' explores life inside psychiatric institutions, but not in the way you might expect. Fine challenges the usual narratives around mental health, rejecting the “stereotypical tropes or metaphors” often found in literature. Instead, she seeks to “shake up this language,” making it more nuanced and reflective of the broader societal context. She believes we need to shift the focus away from individuals’ struggles and towards how society can adapt to better accommodate people who don’t fit the mold of a “fully functional citizen.” Her work is a bold call to reimagine mental health care—not as a process of locking people away, but as a collaborative effort to expand our collective emotional understanding. As Fine puts it, “Could we not imagine treatments… involving the outside world gearing itself towards a wider and more comprehensive emotional spectrum?” It’s a question that lingers, one with no easy answers but enormous significance.

A busy week this week. Starting the brand new week with Danish school as per the usual Monday.

This week we have kristi himmelfartsferie so many things will be happening.

For those who don’t know what Kristi Himmelfartsdag is:

“Ascension Day ranks among the oldest of all Christian holidays, with evidence suggesting it was celebrated by some as early as A.D. 68. The Biblical account of Christ’s Ascension immediately follows the giving of the Great Commission to His watching disciples. He ascended from the Mount of Olives and promised that that would also be the place where He would someday return to set up His Kingdom on the earth.

To many Danes today, Ascension Day is simply one of the many paid off-work days. Nevertheless, churches in Denmark hold special services on Ascension Day, and there are sometimes torch-lit processions around the church building to represent Jesus’ entrance into Heaven.

Traditionally, fruits and vegetables were “blessed,” and farmers held the belief that a sunny Ascension Day indicated a hot, lengthy summer, while a rainy Ascension Day meant a likelihood of crop failure in the year ahead.”

(Taken from this website: https://publicholidays.dk/ascension-day/)

Most people will have the day off to relax, and some Dane’s like to take the day after the holiday off. They will spend the long weekend in their kolonihave or their sommerhus.

I’ll be staying behind and doing some work alongside my Danish man for majority of the week. I’ll rest when I’m dead, I guess haha.

Nårrrr ja, så er der da lige....

Er virkelig skattet og velset gæst i vores Italiener hjørne, er denne smukke, dog Amerikanske porchchair.

Svigerfar fik den da han blev 60, men nu hvor han og svigermor har valgt noget mindre og med en meget lille have, er stolen kommet på rekreation her på Storgaarden. Hvis de "gamle" får andre planer eller måske en kolonihave, så flytter stolen hjem igen. Indtil da, har den en hjem her hos os, i hjørnet med de italienske planter.

Velkommen på Storgaarden

[politirapporten]

RINGSTED: Onsdag kl. 14.33 anmeldte en 51-årig mand fra Ringsted et overfald, som var sket under ophold i en kolonihave, så flere patruljer og en ambulance blev sendt til stedet. I kolonihaven traf politiet en spirituspåvirket anmelder, der havde færre synlige skader end forventet, men dog nogle overfladiske skrammer, ligesom han i øvrigt virkede konfus. Han blev bragt til skadestuen til kontrol for eventuelle skader, og politiet forsøger at nu at få klarlagt, hvad årsagen til hans anmeldelse måtte være. Politihunde undersøgte området omkring den 51-åriges opholdssted, og politiet afventer nu mulighed for grundig afhøring af ham.

[tankegangen]

Vi fik aflivet vores lille misser i dag. Det var forfærdeligt. Græd næsten hele køreturen ud til min veninde, med en mis, der miavede ved siden af. Vi var hos hende i en lille time og sige ordenligt farvel - uden at kigge rigtigt på hinanden, ellers græd vi bare. Så kørte vi ud til dyrlægen, fik ordnet det, der skulle ordnes. Hun prøvede at kæmpe imod bedøvelsen, men den vandt til sidst. Hun fik den sidste sprøjte i hjertet og sov ind på 2 sekunder. Så lå hun bare der. Helt slap. Min veninde og jeg stod bare og tudede. Nussede med hende en sidste gang, mens hun stadig var varm. Vi fik lov til at begrave hende ude ved hendes fars kolonihave, så der kørte vi ud. Hendes far havde fået gravet et hul i den frosne jord. Han havde haft bål og det hele igang for at optø jorden. Det var virkelig sødt af ham. Vi stod om hende og delte minder. Grinte og græd. Hun var den skønneste kat man kunne ønske sig. Hun var bare ikke helt rask. Vi lagde hende pænt i jorden, så det lignede hun bare sov, med en lille blomst. På gensyn Nala.💐💕
