Only Teardrops

Denmark wins the Eurovision 2013 contest!!!

There were so many talented performers, but Denmark won the top spot in last night's finals with "Only Teardrops"---- a beautiful song written by Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen and Thomas Stengaard and brought to life by the vocals of a beautiful young girl, Emmelie de Forest,  as well as the drumming of  Jacob Baagøe and Morten Specht Larsen from the Copenhagen Drummers.

Fantastic job!

I look forward to next year's Eurovision here in Denmark!

APRIL: Happiness Is...

... resurrecting flowers you thought you'd killed off the year before. And knowing that you can say, "I'm an orchid-killer no more".

... when a photo opp turns out a more interesting photo than you expected.

... seeing the effects of spring. Finally!

... a long-awaited wedding gift for a pair of coffee lovers -- a Nespresso machine.

... the first latte from the virgin run of said coffee machine.

... finding out the name of your current favorite song hitting repeat on Spotify, this time by a local Danish artist.

... filling up your on private bar stock with leftovers from your second wedding party.

MARCH: Happiness is...

... French (bulldog) kisses

... an enormous Danish birthday layer cake

... Croque Madame and elderflower drink for lunch at restaurant Jean Claude on Østerbro

... a frothy cappucino following said lunch at Jean Claude

... my favorite menu from Sticks 'n Sushi (tastes even better when it's someone else's treat!)

... espresso fondant cake with hazelnut ice cream, also at Sticks 'n Sushi

 ... ironic, humorous posts found on Pinterest

... a new funky song to add to my Spotify morning jams playlist.
