Thanks for the gifts!
Jessica (host) and Jenny (guest) here. We were happy to come home to
find your gift bag. I couldn't wait for Jessica to come home so I
opened the dates because I was hungry after a long day listening to
people at Klimaforum and COP15!
Jessica immediately when she got home took a big bite out of the apple and then commenced to demonstrate her juggling skills. I'm afraid that I had already eaten an apple & I can't juggle. But Jessica promised to teach me tomorrow when we are both not so tired.
What do these gifts symbolise to us? The apple symbolises to me (Jenny) a local fruit in Denmark which is in season and didn't have to travel far to get to me so that I can enjoy it. For Jessica the apple is an everyday fruit but as a child she remembers they her family had 7 apple trees in their garden and every autumn they would pick the apples and take them to the local apple press to make juice. The juggling balls remind Jessica of clowns and when she was 14 she learnt how to juggle. She was inspired by her uncle to try it and found it was fun. Jenny, on the other hand, has never seriously tried to juggle but it reminds her of her yoga teacher who says that knowing how to juggle is the sign of a misspent youth.
