Fredag 15/01/2016 kl 1630 til lørdag 16/01/2016 kl 1629

18:00 Sarahs identitetsdokumenter er alligevel ikke kommet fra Australien i dagens post, hvilket er lidt skuffende. Du godeste! Vi har allerede samlet alle de papirer vi har, der vedrører salget af hendes lejlighed. Vi har nu kun brug for hendes identitetsdokumenter. Forhåbentlig ankommer de i morgen og vi kan afsende hele pakken til hendes juridiske repræsentanter i Poundbury. Vi vil have, at de på mandag går i gang med at arbejde på salget.

Vi spiser aftensmad og ser lidt fjernsyn.



De viser på BBC4 flere programmer med en musikalsk tema. Det første er Top of the Pops” fra januar 1981. Det blev udsendt snart efter John Lennon blev skudt og dræbt, så var der på sentimentale grunde flere John Lennon sange i hitlisten.

Blondies ”Rapture” fra januar 1981

Derefter viser de ”The Good Old Days” fra 1976, et program der prøvede at genskabe stemningen af den victorianske og edwardianske ”music-hall” eller ”vaudeville” (dvs varietéteater). Det er nostalgisk at se den afdøde camp komiker, Larry Grayson, igen.

22:00 Vi går i seng – zzzzz!!!!

03:45 Jeg står tidligt op og kigger lidt på Facebook. Jeg ser, at en gravemaskine nu er parkeret foran Alisons hus i Gentofte, en forstad til København – du godeste! Man kan også se lidt sne på gaden – brrrr!!!  Alison er vores ældste datter, der bor i Gentofte sammen med sin mand, Ed, og deres tre børn. Myndighederne er for tiden i gang med et enormt projekt i Gentofte, der skal installere ”fjernvarme systemet” i nabolaget. Jeg forstår det ikke ret godt, men jeg tror, at systemet på nogen vis leverer kommunal opvarming til alle huse i området. Du godeste – sikke et vanvid!

Jeg fortsætter med at kopiere mine gamle videobånder til dvd. Jeg ser en nyhed og triste fotos fra 1975 om kommunisternes sejr i Sydvietnam. Mørke tider, men vi vidste dengang ikke, at kommunismen var ved at kollapsere om nogle år – hurra! Men i 1975 kunne man allerede se lyset for enden af tunnelen, fordi Maggie Thatcher afløste Ted Heath som leder af det konservative parti – hurra!

”I skal ikke bekymre jer, guys, kommunismen er allerede et døende system!!! Hurra!”

11:00 Postbudet kommer, men han bringer ikke Sarahs identitetsdokumenter fra Australien – du godeste! Så skuffende!

13:00 Vi spiser frokost og derefter går jeg i seng. Jeg tager mig en lang lur – zzzzz !!!!

14:00 Sarah ringer til os fra Australien. Hun siger, at hun har tjekket online, og hendes identitetsdokumenter ligger nu siden kl 5 i Coventry byens hovedpostkontor, så hun tror, vi skal få dem på mandag – hurra! Hun siger, at hele familien har det rigtig godt. De har fundet en dejlig sandstrand i dag, med en dejlig legeplads på den anden side af vejen. Jessica går for tiden højt op i at tegne og farvelægge.

16:30 Jeg står op og vi slapper af med en kop te på sofaen.

18:00 Sarah's identity documents have still not arrived from Australia in today's post, which is a bit disappointing. My Goodness! We have already assembled all the documents we have, that concern the sale of her apartment. We now only need her identity documents. Hopefully they will arrive in the morning and we can send the whole package to her legal representatives in Poundbury. We want them to begin to work on the sale on Monday. We eat dinner and watch a little television.


They show on BBC4 several programs with a musical theme. The first is the "Top of the Pops" from January 1981. It was broadcast soon after John Lennon was shot and killed, so there were for sentimental reasons several John Lennon songs in the charts.

Blondie's "Rapture" from January 1981

They then show the "The Good Old Days" from 1976, a program that tried to recreate the atmosphere of the Victorian and Edwardian "music-hall" or "vaudeville" (ie music halls). It's nostalgic to see the deceased camp comedian Larry Grayson, again.

22:00 We go to bed - zzzzz !!!!

03:45 I get up early and take a look at Facebook. I see that an excavator is now parked in front of Alison's house in Gentofte, a suburb of Copenhagen - my goodness! You can also see a little snow on the street - brrrr !!! Alison is our elder daughter who lives in Gentofte with her husband, Ed, and their three children. The authorities are currently working on a huge project in Gentofte to install "district heating system" in the neighborhood. I do not understand it very well, but I think the system in some way provides communal heating to all homes in the area. My goodness - what madness!

I continue to copy my old videotapes to DVD. I see a sad news-item and photos about the 1975 Communist victory in South Vietnam. Dark times, but we didn't know then, that communism was about to collapse in a few years - hurray! But in 1975, one could already see the light at the end of the tunnel because Maggie Thatcher succeeded Ted Heath as leader of the Conservative Party - hurray!

Do not worry, guys, communism is already a dying system !!! Hooray!”

11:00 The postman comes, but he does not bring Sarah's identity documents from Australia - my goodness! So disappointing!

13:00 We eat lunch and then I go to bed. I take me a long nap - zzzzz !!!!

14:00 Sarah calls us from Australia. She says she has checked online, and her identity documents have now since 5am been in Coventry city's main post office, so she thinks we will get them on Monday - hurray! She says the whole family is doing great. They have found a nice sandy beach today, with a nice playground on the other side of the road. Jessica is currently very into drawing and coloring.

16:30 I get up and we relax with a cup of tea on the sofa.
