[lace-chat] Denmark

2005-06-20 Thread Helene Gannac
Dear spiders,

thank you very much to those who sent me info about where to stay in Copenhagen
and around. I haven't done anything about it yet as I had to go into hospital
for a nose operation(no, no, not a cosmetic one, just to widen my airways!),
and missed one week at work, what bad luck :-(
When I went back, everything was in a mess because we're getting an updated
version of our computer system!!!I think computer programmers pay less and less
attention to the comfort of those who are going to use their programmes! The
anount of finger work we have to do with the new system compared with the old
one is incredible. And all because they keep putting in things that are useless
but have to be keyed in before we can get what we want I can imagine the
number of RSI claims in the next generation!!!Half of them will be crippled by
age 40. Bad for lace, that!!

So, thank you all anyway. I'll process the information as I go along...

Yours in lace,

Helene, the froggy from Melbourne

[lace-chat] Denmark accommodation request

2005-06-01 Thread Helene Gannac
Hello, all fellow spiders,

DH and I are going to Europe in August, and we will sart with 10 days in
England (no problems, we're going to friends, and I know the country well
enough!!), and then, we are flying to Copenhagen to spend a week there or
around. I joked that DH wants to have tea with Mary at the Palace, but bad
luck, we didn't know her when she lived in Australia :-)

We were supposed to get accommodation in a timeshare resort, but so far RCI
seems to be quite unable to find us anything (they are getting quite useless
for resorts, too interested in making more money getting us to use luxury
hotels, which we are not at all interested in), so I would be delighted to get
some addresses of not too expensive BBs or small hotels around Copenhagen if
any of you know any. We do know that Copenhagen is the most expensive town in
the world, so we'd prefer to stay out of it, but not too far so that DH can
visit. Are there any lacemaking areas nearby?? That would suit ME fine!! 

I'm sure some of you will be able to help, as usual, whatever the request!

Thanks in advance. Don't expect an immediate answer, please, as I am going into
hospital on Friday for a nose job :-), and I will be away from work (and my
Internet access) until Tuesday 14th June. The specialist has promised me little
pain and no black eyes, but I'm more worried as to whether I will be able to
wear my glasses so I can do things like reading or lacemaking during my lovely
enforced holiday week!

Helene, the-just a little bit wet-froggy from Melbourne, where winter has
arrived with cold and icy winds, but only drizzling rain.
