My Father found me Frederik! – Entry no. 45

Wednesday, May 26th

Lasse texted me to tell that he can’t help with handiwork anymore. He’s moving back in with his ex and his son, and she lives in the northern part of Jutland. Bad luck – he and his son were nice, and he was so effective.

My father just rang – he claims he’s found a man for me! Frederik.

Frederik has just moved into a house on my father’s street. He has a summer house on Samsoe, just like my uncle, which my father finds very practical. That way Frederik and I can spend our summer vacations on Samsoe while my father is at Tut and Theo’s. The only glitch is: it solves a problem for my father, but not for me. And summer vacations on Samsoe was the most positive quality my father could think of, which isn’t especially promising.
- Your uncle says he’s not very good looking, my father began.
- Aha, I replied.
- But looks aren’t everything.
Considering that my father comments when people are just five kilos overweight, has told my girlfriends to their faces that he’d prefer if they wore skirts when they came over and likes women who wear make-up, I’d venture to say that he’s misrepresenting his standpoint when he says that looks aren’t everything.

-He’s coming over for a beer on Saturday, be here at 11 a.m.! My father commanded. Then he hung up.

I feel a sudden stomach virus on Saturday coming on.

At any rate, I’m going to Aarhus for a conference tomorrow – and Ruben will be there too! I’m looking forward to getting to know him better and finding out what he and Severin’s world are all about. Maybe I should invite him to Elizabeth’s world instead…
