early morning on a new day

the view from my window at 5am
on a wet morning - looking up Nyhavn
looking towards Kongens Nytorv

Woke early before 5am to the sound of gentle rain.

It doesn’t sound as if much of the city is awake yet and it feels calm and peaceful and also slightly sad …. somehow as if everything is on pause and, in so many ways of course, it is ….. as Copenhagen is beginning to emerge slowly and carefully from lockdown but, like most place in most countries, with a lot of uncertainty about what is ahead.

Strange. Starting up the computer to check emails and look at news online and, thinking - maybe - to try writing, a reminder pops up to show that the annual payment to Squarespace is due today.

It’s Squarespace who ‘host’ the blog and it’s thanks to the Squarespace software that these posts get posted.

But that means it is now seven years since I started all this.
Back then I had no idea that it would last this long.
