Blackboard presentations

Today we tried to use the blackboard to tell some of the stories we heard on the boat.

This is a chart of the stories we have filtered out and how they could be used in a sequence.

Alex told his story outside, lest we forget spring is in the air...

In the afternoon we played around with some of the text Sjon wrote for us.

After work we went to the pub. It was one of the few days Margits was with us in the evenings (she is performing The Three Sisters at the moment), so we headed for our local (the only pub in Toftlund) and had the local beer.

Liz and Marie armwrestled each other.

Marie won righthanded, and is telling me she'll accept challenges from anyone who would like to try her strength.

Powerpoint injury

We all made presentations of our journey with the pictures we took on the boat.

Some people used powerpoint, some used iPhoto slideshows, and some made an iMovie film. 

Elisabet worked on her presentation for hours and hours, until very late at night, and in the morning she woke up with a trapped nerved.

Damaged by Powerpoint.

Kieran talked about his secret agent parents and his career at MI12.

One of the stories Kjell told on the boat was the story of the Norwegian fisher girl Ella Mathisen. It is a heartbreaking and devastating story, and we tried to find a way to tell it.

We also played some of our old favourite games.

In the evening we went to see Dreams of Alice and Kate, the performance the students of the Musik og Teater Hoyskole made.
Liz went to bed early to try and cure her muscles.

Fun and games

Last night we borrowed a board game from the school. Liz and Kieran went to choose one and came back with Pictionary. We all agreed that was a great idea, until we opened the box and realised you do actually need to know Danish to play it. It has cards with words on them. In Danish.

So we played with Google Translate alongside to understand the words we were supposed to draw.

Liz was the first to draw, and I was meant to guess what she was drawing.
She picked a card, Alex set the timer on his iPhone (the hourglass was no longer in the box), Liz picked up the pencil and started drawing. After about 2 seconds she started laughing hysterically whilst drawing.
She laughed and laughed (and drew) for a whole minute, and I couldn't guess what she was drawing (mainly being distracted by her howls of laughter.

It was the Pink Panther.

After about an hour we were joined by Marie, Margit and Sjon, who'd just come back from Copenhagen. They were assigned to our existing teams and the game became louder and louder.
As we don't have any neighbours, we could be as loud as we wanted.

Our team (Liz, Margit, Sjon and I) won twice.
