18:00 Vi spiser aftensmad og derefter bruger aftenen på at se lidt
fjernsyn. De viser Come Dine With Me fra Nordsomerset og derefter det 2. afsnit
nogensinde af ”Sorry”, en gammel sitcom
fra 1981, stjernespækket Ronnie Corbett, den skotske komiker. Serien handler om
en 41-årig bibliotekar, Timothy Lumsden, der stadigvæk bor hjemme hos sin
krævende mor og afslappede far.
20:30 De viser en interessant og morsom dokumentarfilm om Wiens
turistattraktioner og seværdighederne. Værten er Richard Ayoade. Lois og jeg begynder at le, så snart som vi
får øje på Ayoades ansigt eller hører hans stemme. Det er en skam, at ingen har
skabt endnu en sitcom til ham, efter ”The IT Crowd” sluttede for omkring 10 år
siden.

03:45 Jeg står tidligt op og kigger lidt på internettet. Jeg læser en
interessant artikel om Danmarks dyreste og billigste huse. Ud af landets 6
dyreste huse er der tre, der ligger i Gentofte, en forstad til København, hvor
vores ældste datter, Alison, bor, sammen med sin mand, Ed, og deres tre børn. Du
godeste, familien bor nu i meget fornemme omgivelser – ingen tvivl om det!!!
Danmarks
dyreste hus – pris 68 millioner kroner, areal 418 kvadratmeter (jeg har desværre
ingen koncept, om hvad 418 kvadratmeter i virkeligheden betyder!). Det ligger i
Gentofte.
Danmarks
5. dyreste hus – pris 48 millioner kroner, areal 257 kvadratmeter. Det ligger
også i Gentofte.
Danmarks
6. dyreste hus – pris 47 millioner kroner, areal 464 kvadratmeter. Det ligger
også i Gentofte – du godeste! Sikke et nabolag !!!
I dag er den 6. januar, og ville have været Pauls 72. fødselsdag, hvis
han levede endnu. Paul var min bedste ven i 24 år, og han hjalp mig til at
finde sammen med Lois, mit livs kærlighed. Han kunne desværre ikke være med til
vores bryllup i 1972, fordi han dengang var på ferie i USA.
Han døde i 1993, da han desværre druknede. Drukning er en underlig måde
at dø på – ingen tvivl om det! Jeg havde engang også en ung arbejdskollega, Norman
Roberts, der druknede i den Indiske Ocean efter en bådulykke. Jeg mindes, at
Big Bang Theorys Sheldon rådede sin ven, Leonard, ikke at slutte sig til
Stephen Hawkings marine ekspedition i Nordsøen og mindede ham om den
statistiske sammenhæng mellem drukning og både – uha, kloge ord!!!!
Jeg savner stadigvæk idag Pauls ironiske sans for humor. Kom tilbage,
Paul, alt er tilgivet!!!!
December 1982 - Lille Sarah holder Pauls hånd og...
... og lille Alison holder min !
(Paul
besøgte os i Columbia, Maryland i december 1982, juletiden og nytåret over. Han
og jeg tog dengang mine døtre Alison (på 7 år) og Sarah (på 5 år) med til det
lokale nabolagets legeplads eller ”tot lot” for at lege med vores frisbee.)
Jeg
tror, dette er det sidste foto jeg har af Paul, der står her midt i en gammel
by i Suffolk sammen med sin kone, Rachel (i 1987). Paul døde 6 år senere
(1993), og Rachel giftede sig endelig igen i 2015 efter at have boet i 22 år
alene i huset.
08:00 Lois har en dårlig mave idag, så derfor beslutter hun at blive
liggende i sengen i formiddag.
10:00 Ross ringer på døren. Han er nøjagtig 30 minutter sent, som
vanligt. Han går i gang med at rense gulvtæppet i spisestuen. I de seneste to
år har vores børnebørn, Lily og Jessica, Sarahs 2-årige tvillinger, spist en
masse måltider i vores spisestue, og de tabte dengang en masse mad på
gulvtæppet – du godeste! De små stykker mad, som de tabte, er en lille minde af
dem for Lois og mig, nu hvor de bor langt væk fra os, i Australien. Ikke desto
mindre skal vi desværre få gulvtæppet renset og fjerne disse søde minder af
tvillingerne – men gulvtæppet kan ikke blive beskidt for evig, ingen tvivl om
det !!!!
Den 29. november 2015: tvillingerne spiser (og
taber) mad for sidste gang i vores spisestue – du godeste!
12:00 Ross skal af sted. Jeg skriver ham en check. Jeg skynder mig ud på
køkkenet og laver frokost.
13:00 Lois har det lidt bedre og står op. Det er heldigt, at sengen
stadig er varm, da jeg kryber ind for at tage mig en kort lur – ingen tvivl om
det !!!
15:30 Vi går en kort tur i nabolaget (0,87 miles, 22 minutter, 82
kalorier). Vores rute: Borgergade, Søgade og tilbage igen.

16:00 Vi kommer hjem og slapper af med en kop te på sofaen...

18:00 Dinner and then we spend the evening on watching
TV. They show Come Dine With Me from North Somerset and then the second episode
ever of "Sorry", an old sitcom from 1981, starring Ronnie Corbett,
the Scottish comedian. The series is about a 41-year-old librarian Timothy
Lumsden, who still lives at home with his demanding mother and relaxed father.
20:30 They
show an interesting and amusing documentary about Vienna's tourist attractions
and sights. The host is Richard Ayoade. Lois and I begin to laugh as soon as we
notice Ayoade's face or hear his voice. It's a shame that no one has yet
created a sitcom to him, after "The IT Crowd" ended about 10 years
ago.

I get up early and take a look on the internet. I read an interesting article
about Denmark's most expensive and cheapest houses. Out of the country's six
most expensive houses there are three located in Gentofte, a suburb of
Copenhagen, where our oldest daughter, Alison, is living together with her
husband, Ed, and their three children. My goodness, the family lives in very
upscale surroundings - no doubt about it!!!
Denmark's
most expensive house - price 68 million crowns, area 418 square meters (I have
no concept of what 418 square meters really means!). It is located in Gentofte.
Denmark's
fifth most expensive house - price 48 million crowns, area 257 square meters.
It is also located in Gentofte.
Denmark's
sixth most expensive house - price 47 million crowns, area 464 square meters.
It is also located in Gentofte - my goodness! What a neighborhood!!!
Today
is January 6, and would have been Paul's 72nd birthday if he were still alive.
Paul was my best friend for 24 years, and he helped me to get together with
Lois, the love of my life. He could not attend our wedding in 1972 because he
was then on holiday in the United States.
He died in 1993 when he unfortunately drowned. Drowning is a strange way to die - no doubt about it! I once had also a young work-colleague, Norman Roberts, who drowned in the Indian Ocean after a boating accident. I remember that Big Bang Theory's Sheldon advised his friend, Leonard, not to join Stephen Hawking's marine expedition in the North Sea and reminded him on the statistical relationship between drowning, water and boats - oh, wise words !!!!
I miss still today Paul's ironic sense of humor. Come back Paul, all is forgiven !!!!

December 1982 - Little Sarah holds Paul's hand and ...
... little Alison holds mine
(Paul visited us in Columbia, Maryland in December 1982
over Christmas and New Year . He and I took then my daughters Alison (7 years
old) and Sarah (5 years old) along to the local neighborhood playground or
"tot lot" to play with our Frisbee.)
I think this is the last photo I have of Paul,
standing here in the middle of an old town in Suffolk with his wife, Rachel
(1987). Paul died six years later (1993) and Rachel married finally again in
2015 after living for 22 years alone in the house.
8:00
Lois has a stomach upset today, so she decides to stay in bed this morning.
10:00 Ross rings at the door. He's exactly 30 minutes late, as usual. He starts by cleaning the carpet in the dining room. In the past two years, our grandchildren, Lily and Jessica, Sarah's 2-year-old twins, have eaten a lot of meals in our dining room, and they dropped then a lot of food on the carpet - my goodness! The small pieces of food, which they dropped, are a small memorial of them for Lois and me, now that they live far away from us in Australia. Nevertheless, we unfortunately get the carpet cleaned and remove these sweet memories of the twins - but the carpet cannot be dirty for ever, no doubt about it !!!!

On 29 November 2015, the twins eat (and drop) food for
the last time in our dining room - my goodness!
12:00 Ross has to go off. I write him a check. I hurry out to the kitchen
and make lunch.
13:00 Lois has it a little better and gets up. It is fortunate that the bed
is still warm when I creep in to take a short nap - no doubt about it !!!
15:30 We go for a short walk in the neighborhood (0.87 miles, 22 minutes,
82 calories). Our itinerary: Borgergade, Søgade and back again.
