On a rare weekend when I was actually home, my host family took me to the Copenhagen Zoo! They have a foster child, Siff, who comes and stays with us every Wednesday and some weekends. She's four, and adorable. So all of us packed into the car, and drove to Fredericksborg where the zoo is.
Brian and Nina were very helpful in that they stopped in downtown Copenhagen on the way there, so I could exchange a skirt! I had bought this very pretty, very professional pencil skirt for my business trips in London. I tried it on for a second time when I got home Friday afternoon, and the zipper decided to stop working! So I was stuck in this kind of expensive pencil skirt until Nina came home and could help me. Nobody could get the zipper unstuck...we tried everything from liquid soap, candle wax and a needle.
Finally we gave up and called the story, to see if we could cut it off and then get a new one! They agreed, and set one aside for me to pick up Saturday morning. In the end, were able to forcefully yank the zipper and avoid using scissors. But, just to make sure I could still get a new one, Nina cut the fabric a little by the zipper. It worked, and I looked very professional in my NEW skirt in London while visiting Transport for London!
