Why would anyone go there now?
The World Cup 2026 football games will be without foreign spectators.
The same for the 2028 Olympic Games.
FIFA and the Olympic Committee should reconsider.

Sounds like a perfect solution to me.
Do you have a heat pump too for heating and hot water?
I'm depending on electricity solely.
My total yearly energy consumption for my 95m2 home is 2.200 to 2.400 kWh

Replacing one million manual meters with smart meters Danish DSO Radius creates a data-driven future with turnkey smart meter solution from Kamstrup. Read on and learn more about the project.

I take that you have a smart meter and a variable price contract with your electricity provider.
It's an effective tool to move consumption to when electricity is plentiful and cheap.
All Danish homes have smart meters and we know 24 ahead how prices will be.

The estimated value was set at above 100 millions, so Maren is now disappearing into the ground at night, only to appear again in the morning. 2/2

The city of Holstebro acquired this Sculpture by Giacometti for 210.000 Danish Crowns in 1965. Locals found this very expensive. But she grew on the locals
The local name was Maren on the wagon.
For years it was left outside 24/7/365 until someone told city officials that it's very precious. 1/2

Thanks to Storm Floris and the sunshine electricity prices are low in Denmark the whole day.
Time to charge the car and run the dishwasher and washing machine and vacuum the house.
Here the actual electricity prices in east and west Denmark.
Divide prices by 7,46 to get it in Euro.

Oh America.
What is happening to you?
Is this what freedom has come to.
Freedom from instead of freedom to.
Separated instead of together.

Warrior Experience the special exhibition 'Warrior' and meet the samurai, legionary, Sepik warrior and soldier.

Oh no. So sorry to hear.
Hopefully Aarhus is restoring your mood.
Take a trip to visit the AROS art museum.
One of my favourite places.
The Moesgaard museum is definitely worth a visit too.

I love these sculptures of people know for their achievements.
The author of the Matador tv show that every Dane knows by heart had her sculptor too.
She had her sculptor while still alive.
Here with one of the main actors in the show
It's placed in Roskilde

Glad your home survived the storm.
I understand it was brutal.
We're in the tail of the storm right now.
But Aarhus should be clear soon

You've chosen a wet period to visit.
A bit windy, but nothing compared to how northern parts Scotland was hit by Storm Floris.
Enjoy your stay my friend.

When I started first grade in school in Odense in 1955, we celebrated that it was 150 years ago Hans Christian Andersen was born.
This year it's 150 years ago since he died, and we commemorate his life and influence on society and his wonderful stories.

July in Denmark was
1,2ยฐC warmer than latest climate normal.
15 hours less of sunshine
Much wetter. The 10th wettest months since 1874 when we started recording these things.
And we're off to a wet start of August, with already more rain the first 3 days than the March this year.

The stationary low pressure over Denmark has really been changing our perception of summer in the northern part of Europe. Lots of rain in some parts and very hot weather in Finland, Sweden and Norway.
Finally it's moving further east.
Here the drought index for Denmark

Vacation time in Denmark is coming to an end.
Many going back to work today after having taken 3 weeks of vacation.
School children go back to school again after 6 weeks of summer vacation this week.
Hopefully all fully recharged and ready
University students still have vacation until September.

Statistician in employment has been fired for telling the truth. Now being replaced by someone willing to manipulate data to please Trump.
Likewise I predict the firing of people in trade data report, in inflation reporting, in climate reporting.
Data from the US will be so unreliable and trust gone

Lying seems easy for him.
Repeating lies that are so easy for all to fact check.
Revengeful towards people who speaks in favour of the truth or stand up to him.

Knowing who's the owner of WaPo is, and the history of the Supreme Court , the choice is easy.
