Den Lille HavfrueSummer is closer than when I wrote my last post. Things are looking up. I spent a much better part of yesterday in Copenhagen with two of my good old 6Yclassmates, Finnur and Friðrik.
Sponsored by Tuborg we walked our way to the icon of Copenhagen -
The Little mermaid - to have a sit with her and beer in the sun. Copenhagen style.

Poor little mermaid. She is just sitting on her rock all day - totally exposed to the public. No bra or anything (except in 1961). Being photographed with 10.000 tourists every day. Many of whom reaching for her breasts. Not to mention the sightseeing tour-boat sliding by to check out her ass. Talk about a rough life. And a bad
luck be a lady.
The Little Mermaid has had a hard time in Copenhagen:
1961 - September 1
Bra & knickers were painted on her, and her hair was 'dyed' red
1963 - April 28
She was covered in red paint
1964 - April 24
She was decapitated
1976 - July 15
She was covered in paint
1984 - July 22
Her right arm was cut off
1990 - August 5
Another attempt to decapitate her was made
1998 - January 6
She was decapitated
2003 - September 11
She was removed from her stone and pushed into the water (From VisitCopenhagen.com)
These days "her skin" is covered in orange paint. S
omeone in our group claimed she had gotten herself a sun tan. Poor little mermaid.A toast of Tuborg to her and her turbulent life.
