Spring has taken hold in Copenhagen — the flowers are blooming, and the city feels just a bit lighter (or maybe that’s just me, idk). But the events definitely match the vibe. Regular flea markets, concerts in sunlit courtyards… it’s all happening.
That said, I’ve only managed to squeeze in a handful of events for two weeks this time, since I won’t be anywhere near my computer next week (good riddance! not me, my computer). I wish I could say I’ll also be completely offline, but well... maybe when I take a proper holiday sometime soon. Keep me in your prayers.
So consider this your double-dose edition — I’ll be back in your inbox on the 26th of April.
