Remember our meetup at Wild Kiwi Pies this Saturday! We'll be there from 4 pm. Closing time is 7 pm, but they'll stay open for us until 9 pm if enough of us turn up! Address: Toftegårds Alle 43, 2500 Valby (very close to Valby Station). Please tell us how many are coming, so Stu can make enough pies! You can also buy frozen ones so you have a supply at home! And there'll be something wet 😉

(Our apologies to those with Outlook email addresses, who didn't receive our emails about this event due to problems our internet provider had delivering them.)

We received the following message from the NZ ambassador in Stockholm:
"I would like to inform you that, as of last Friday 25 October, the responsibility for NZ’s diplomatic relationship with Denmark has shifted from the New Zealand Embassy in The Hague to the New Zealand Embassy in Stockholm. We are now responsible for all the Nordic countries."

The Kurdish-Iranian author, journalist and activist Behrouz Boochani has had a mention in the Danish newspaper "Information"´s book section (16 August 2019). He wrote his book "No Friend but the Mountains" from his incarceration on Manus. Painstakingly sent via messages from his mobile phone to his friend who translated it to English, it won the Victorian Prize for Literature. He couldn't come to the ceremony as he wasn't allowed to enter Australia. The news comes up now, as he has now also won the National Biography Award. He made his thank you speech via mobile phone, where he amongst other things said that history will condemn this generation, and it will condemn us all in this hard and dark period in Australia's history.

If anyone would like to meet up with a couple of fellow countrymen (I've forgotten what the gender neutral version of "countrymen" is) from the Wild West (i.e. Jutland), turn up "Under Uret" (under the clock in the middle of the main hall at the main railway station in Copenhagen) at 11.30 am on Sunday 4 August. From there we'll probably find a café.
