New Words

Grandfather carved a ship for little "me" today and told tall tales from the time when he was a sailor. I especially liked how the captains beard was blown over board and devoured by a whale. :-)
I also learned a lot of new words:
splitte klyverbommen = to split the jib boom = den Klüverbaum spalten
søulk = old salt = Seebär
klukke = gurgle = glucksen

The "F-bear" on the left was a little gift from the Christmas get together at my fathers work place and my Christmas calendar contained the book: Eventyret om verdens stærkeste ord which strongly reminds me of the fairy tale of the fisherman and his wife that my father used to tell us kids.
