As a door closes..

I'd say its about time for a new blog post, with the holidays slowly drifting away behind us and the threat of Autumnal doom over our little heads. Time to shake off the dust from the stage curtains and get rid of the strange smell lurking around the band room (JOKES! It smells great as always..). 

Not only that, but there is news afoot. Almost time for some new EVS blood. That's probably the most exciting news you've heard this summer. I'm expecting a call from Ekstra Bladet any moment.

I can give you some inside info on the EVS's, but first lets take a quiet moment to say goodbye to one delightful EVS candidate. He's from Spain. He is the no1 Shift Reporter from 2013, winning 3 times consecutively the 'Most Giggles Anyone Can Get out of a Shift Report Ever' award. He invented the classic Romesco/ham/cheese/baked in the oven with love Spansk Sandwich. And last but by no means least, he calls me Rosana. That's right folks, our beloved Diego has left the building. I know you guys see a lot of EVS come and go - but this man was a true delight. I will sorely miss his rosy winter cheeks and direct Spanish translations.

But as a door closes a window opens. Next up from the South - comes Luis - a fellow amigo of Diego's and all round lovely Spanish man. Arriving 8th of August, you all better get ready for some more Danish/English/Spanish confusion.
Then from September 1st we have a lady from the Netherlands and another from Germany. They will be replacing me and the dear Steffi. I know less about them, but this of course makes them no less important. 

I myself am coming to the end of my EVS year, however as many of you know, I am starting my Masters at a nearby university, so will not be leaving the country as of yet. No weeping please.

There may also be a new location for the EVS in the next six months. We may have to FINALLY say goodbye to the EVS house, which will be a sad occasion. But on to pastures new! Any suggestions of good places we can live in the future are welcome. The little strange box on top of the Cafe? The outdoor area at the tank? Maybe the Gimle Van could be kitted out? Let me know.
