When the news about the corona becomes too sad, turns off the singer for the tv and throws himself over practical chores.

Many danes are sitting alone at home, under the coronakrisen, and the same applies to the popular dansktopsangerinde Birthe Kjær.

Fortunately, the list of practical chores long, and the singer goes like in the garden, grabs the paintbrush tool, or even baking a cake.

What you need to make at easter and who will you be with?

– I have no plans for easter, for I am alone and being spontaneous all according to desire and mood. Maybe I will meet in the wild with one of my friends and traver for a walk – with two meters distance, and then diverge again, we at the meeting point. So you just saw each other and talked more than when it is over the phone. We can each take a little coffee with, as we drink in each end of a bench.

What are you doing outdoors?

– I will cut the roses down and make a little bit of general gardening. I have an orbital sander removed the old oil from a garden table and then given it a white oil to give it a new look. It was okay but nothing more.

– So I will wash all the garden furniture and take the cushions down from the ceiling. So it becomes really nice on the terrace, especially with all the solcellelamper I have purchased.

What are you doing indoors?

– I have enjoyed watching “Sing individually, a” DR1. I think it has hit right there, where you feel that we are together on this here crisis. So I hope that it continues.

– Otherwise, I see a lot of Netflix. The latest “Unorthodux” and “Caliphate”, which has been very exciting to watch. And with regard to food so I have never been the passionate chef, so I have set myself for just to empty the freezer, added some salad.

– So I have baked a cake, which I had to freeze most down, for there is only me to eat it, and it is not so good. But I will probably also bake some muffins and bread and more cake.

you Have thrown you over some new projects while you have been at home and if so which?

– I have started to paint two rooms, and I take it just a little at a time, for the urgency is not, after all, one might say. But it is good to have some practical pursuits in addition to go for walks and read and watch a lot of tv.

What do you do in general to keep the spirits up?

– in addition to being very frightened by reading about the corona, so has my mood has not failed anything. I think I have a lot of telephone contact with family and friends, and I’m just so happy not to be hit.

– It is quite terrible to read about what is happening around, so when the information becomes too many and take up too much space, so I close down for news and radio programs, where they are all the time talking about the corona.

What is the first thing you will do when the world looks normal again?

– So I want to enjoy meeting friends and family and go out and experience different culture. I really hope that our revues and festivals are allowed to play in the summer, and that they keep the skin on the nose.

– I also own a number of concerts over the summer, as I don’t yet know whether it can be done, and from when we feel so sure, so we can party together again.
