Blonde
Pretty much everyone in Denmark is blonde, it seems. To various degrees, admittedly, but blonde nevertheless. It's a real statement not to be blonde, and of the people I saw today in Aarhus who weren't blonde, three were black, and two turned out to be speaking Italian when I walked past them. Whereas, in the UK, you might say that someone's hair was quite blonde, here you'd say that someone's hair was a little dark. And you wouldn't say that about many people. I was up at 5:35 this morning: can you tell? At least we had a good day: the enormous bug turned out not to be. Enormous. Or, come to that, a bug. Which was nice. Should be home room after midnight. *yawn*
