17:30 Jeg går i gang med at eksperimentere med at overspille til dvd én
af de mange VHS-bånd, jeg optog i
1980’erne. Jeg er bange for, at nogle af disse gamle VHS-bånd snart går i
stykker – du godeste, teknologi er ikke altid min ven !
18:30 Vi spiser aftensmad. Vi er stadig meget forkølede, så vi bruger
aftenen på at se lidt fjernsyn. De viser Dads Army og derefter en interessant
dokumentarfilm, der handler om byen Leningrad (nu St Petersburg). I løbet af
den anden verdenskrig blev byen i et par år belejret af den tyske hær, og mange
beboere sultede desværre ihjel. Dokumentarfilmen satte fokus på den rolle, det
lokale orkester spillede i at holde moralen oppe. Men alt i alt ikke en
behagelig historie. Jeg får mareridt i nat – det er jeg ikke i tvivl om !!!!
22:30 Vi går i seng – zzzzz!!!!
03:15 Jeg står tidligt op og kigger lidt på internettet. Jeg fortsætter
med at eksperimentere med at overspille til dvd endnu en af de mange popsange,
jeg optog i 1980’erne på vhs. Jeg lærer at skrive sangens titel på dvd-en –
hurra!
09:00 Jeg har det lidt bedre i dag, men det regner kraftigt igen, og
igen har jeg ikke lyst til at gå ud af huset - du godeste! Jeg sætter mig på
vores computer og jeg går i gang med at bestille endnu 3 fotobøger fra
Snapfish. Disse tre fotobøger indeholder fotos, jeg to da vi var på ferie i
juletiden i Danmark. Denne jul var én af vores bedste juletider nogensinde, takket
være Alison, Ed og børnene – det ved jeg med sikkerhed!
11:00 Lois skal af sted. Der er 2 gudstjenester, der i dag finder sted i
Tewkesbury, som hun vil deltage i.
11:15 Jeg går i gang med at stryge mine skjorter (3), pyjamas (1 sæt) og
undertøj (2 sæt). Efter frokost går jeg i bad og bagefter i seng for at tage
mig en lang lur.
14:00 Jeg står op og fortsætter med at eksperimente med at overspille
til dvd endnu nogle af de popsange, jeg optog i 1986 på min første vhs-bånd,
som jeg kaldte ”Vroom 1”. Jeg interesserer mig meget i dag for at se hvilke
sange jeg først i 1986 valgte at optage: sikke en underlige blanding – du godeste!
Men jeg var dengang kun 40 år gammel og dum, og helt
sikker ikke meget sofistikeret – det er jeg ikke i tvivl om !!!

I 1986 havde vi lige kommer hjem efter 3 år i USA. Det er underligt at
se fotos af Alison og Sarah (på henholdvis 9 og 11 år) foran det hus, Lois og
jeg stadigvæk i 2016 (30 år senere) bor i.
August 1985 Vi kommer hjem efter 3 år i USA
august 1986 – Alisons fødselsdagfest i vores
baghave.
Vi har siden udskiftet hegnen – du godeste!
September 1986 – Alison (i sin nye skoleuniform)
og Sarah foran vores hus
Lois i 1986 (på 40 år)
16:00
Lois kommer hjem og vi slapper af med en kop te og et stykke kage på sofaen...
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
17:30 I begin to experiment with dubbing to DVD one of the many
VHS tapes, I recorded in the 1980s. I am afraid
that these VHS tapes may soon break -
my goodness, technology is not always my
friend!
18:30 We eat dinner. We are still very coldy, so we spend the evening on
watching TV. They show Dad's Army and then an interesting documentary about the
city of Leningrad (now St Petersburg). During World War II, the city was for a
few years besieged by the German army, and many residents starved to death
unfortunately. The documentary focused on the role the local orchestra played
in keeping morale up. But all in all, not a pleasant story. I will get
nightmares tonight - I am in no doubt about that !!!!
22:30 We go to bed - zzzzz !!!!
03:15 I get up early and take a look on the internet. I continue to
experiment with dubbing to DVD yet another of the many pop songs I recorded in
1980 on VHS. I learn to write the song title on DVD one - hurray!
09:00 I feel a little better today, but it rains heavily again, and again I
have no desire to go out of the house - my goodness! I sit at our computer and
I begin to commission three photo books from Snapfish. These three photo books
contain photos I took when we were on vacation during the Christmas season in
Denmark. This Christmas is one of our best
Christmases ever, thanks to Alison, Ed and children
- that I know for sure!
11:00 Lois has to go off. There are two services, which take place today in
Tewkesbury, which she wants to attend.
11:15 I begin to iron my shirts (3), pyjamas
(1 set) and underwear
(two sets). After lunch I went into the shower and afterwards to bed to
take a long nap.
14:00 I get up and continue to experiment with dubbing to DVD even more of
the pop songs I recorded in 1986 on my first VHS tape, which I called
"Vroom 1". I'm very interested today to see what songs I first chose
to record in 1986: what a strange mix - my goodness! But I was then only 40
years old and stupid, and quite definitely not very sophisticated - I am in no
doubt about that !!!

In 1986 we had just come home after three years in the United States. It is
strange to see photos of Alison and Sarah (at respectively 9 and 11 years old)
in front of the house where Lois and I still live in 2016 (30 years later).
August 1985 We
come home
after three
years in the
US
August
1986 - Alison's birthday
party in our backyard.
We have since replaced a fence - my goodness!

Lois in 1986 (at 40 years)

the couch ...
