SHY YETI'S LITTLE TRIP TO DENMARK...

SHY YETI GOES TO COPENHAGEN...

Hello beasties!

This week I'll be sharing with you some snippets and photos from my recent trip to Copenhagen; however I won't be using all my pictures this time as I'll save a few for when that particular episode of the show is released... Talking about the podcast we reached a mini milestone on the 14th May 2018 which was two years since I began recording the pilot episode. This episode was released a few days later on Soundcloud and was available on iTunes, along with episode 1 by the end of the month. We did give a little shoutout about this during our Pride48 Live Show for May 2018...

Speaking of which...

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 168: LIVE PRIDE48 SHOW - MAY 2018


Here we are for episode 168 - our LIVE Pride48 Show for May 2018! After a slight hiccup at the start we catch up with Toppie Smellie and Trowby and Lisa in the chat-room, hear about Mr Yeti's recent trip and speak briefly with both Cromitty and Yeti Uncle John. All this and we have extra material - some SUTTON PARK clips and further random questions with Nick G and Andy C. (We'll have more next month too!) Our next episode, number 169 finds Paul and Bettina chatting - and we also get closer to the truth behind what made Ikk unwell earlier in the year!

Sound effects by Paul Chandler and Soundbible. Many thanks to Nick G and Andy C for recording the extra material with me - also to Nick for digitizing the S.P. clips. Additional applause - to Adam Burns for saving the day and to The Chat-room Regulars for just showing up and being there LIVE!!

Here are some photos from my recent trip to Copenhagen. I won't be doing a full diary as the podcast covers that and I'm expecting that episode to be released in the next couple of months...





















We travelled to Copenhagen on Monday 7th May 2018 - the journey went pretty well and once there we popped out for some wine and a bit of a picnic to have back at the hotel as we didn't really want to go too far... The hotel was close to the main railway station and the room was very comfortable - and surprisingly I managed to sleep pretty well the whole time we were away; I usually don't. On Tuesday 8th May we headed out - visiting a number of parks, including Rosenborg Castle Gardens (and the castle itself!) We also had a delicious meatloaf and potato salad open sandwich and did a little shopping - not to mention quite a bit of podcast recording. Dinner was from the supermarket again; no complaints there. On Wednesday 9th May we took a boat trip around the harbour and enjoyed a good lunch of bagels in a posh department store  before visiting a couple of museums in the afternoon; recording all the way... Thursday 10th May turned out to be a public holiday - we had considered going to Sweden over the big bridge - but instead we took the train to Roskilde and visited their local museum, contemporary art gallery, cathedral and rather unmanned tourist information centre! We also ate chocolate brioche - not to mention the Wagamamas that we had once we got back to Copenhagen! Friday 11th May we were heading home, although we would have had time for a random museum visit, but chose to just sit in the courtyard at the hotel and read - oh, plus a sneaky Wagamamas... (This was our third of the week. 1 at the airport and 1 the day before!) After this we headed to the airport and all very quickly were back home with our purring beauty, Mr Deeley. My only real regret was that I didn't make it into the Tivoli Gardens - it was a bit busy for Toby and every time we passed it I was hot and tired and couldn't be bothered. My bad. I didn't really want to go on any rides - my only reason for visiting was "podcast reasons"; so never-mind.

Next time we'll have been away again - this time in Marseille and I'll be discussing that, along with what ever other episodes of the podcast that I've managed to edit...

But that's all for now...

Take care - more soon,

Yeti hugs,

Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx


PS On Saturday 19th May (tonight!) I returned to RADIO WEY with Tim, Nathan and Nathan's mum, Patricia - I recorded events and hopefully they will be part of an episode coming soon! I read the following 100-word stories and one poem and Yeti Uncle John also made an appearance:

GRANDPA'S WIG (100 word story)
A ROARING SUCCESS (100 word story)
I NEVER SAY NO TO PIE (poem)
