Nye vaner - New habits

I hverdagen har vi så mange vaner, der får vores hverdag til at glide nemmere og som nok også giver os en vis portion tryghed hver dag.
Når man så flytter... så er der en masse vaner, der ikke længere dur. Men hurtigt erstattes de af andre.
Her er to af mine nye vaner:

1. At råbe: "Honey, I am home", hver gang jeg kommer ind i lejligheden. Gad vide, hvor længe Suzanne bliver ved med at grine af det?

2. At slukke lyset og lufte ud, førend jeg skal i seng. (Man er nødt til at slukke lyset for at det ikke skal vælte ind med fluer og andre væmmelige dyr.) Og så bare stå der i nattemørket og kigge på det store væld af stjerner. Og dem, der kender mig virkelig godt, vil vide, at det er en HELT ny vane. Egentlig foretrækker jeg neonreklamerne over Sortedamssøen. Men jeg kan nu godt lide de hersens stjerner - og den friske natteluft i bjergene.

In our everyday life we have so many habits that make our days flow easily and probalby also provide us with a great deal of security.
Then when you move, you realise that some of the habits don't apply anymore. But very quickly they are replaced.
Here are two of my new habits:

1. To shout, 'Honey, I'm home', every time I enter the apartment. I wonder if it will continue to amuse Suzanne or when it will start to annoy her?

2. To turn off the light and open the windows before going to bed to let in some fresh air. (You have to turn off the light to avoid flies and other anoying creatures to enter your home.) And then just stand in the total darkness and watch the multitudes of stars. And those who know me really well will know that this is a brand new kind of habit for me. Actually I normally prefer the neon lights over the grand lake of Copenhagen. But I am actually taking a liking in those stars - and the crisp mountain air late at night.
