18:15 Vi spiser aftensmad.
Bagefter skal Lois af sted. Der er en gudstjeneste, der i aften finder sted i
Hatherley, som hun vil deltage i.
19:00 Jeg ser lidt fjernsyn.
De viser en interessant dokumentarfilm, der handler om meteorer og meteoritter.
Meteoritter er fragmenter af asteroider, som danner resten af den stjernetåge,
der for 4,6 milliarder år siden skabte solsystemet.
Programmets vært, Iain Stewart
besøger Natural History Museum i London, hvor de opbevarer tusindvis af
meteoritter. Stewart ser en meteorit,
der er ca 4,6 milliarder år gammel – du godeste!

!!!
Vi ser også igen og igen de videoer,
som de lokale mennesker tog i Tjeljabinsk, da en meteorit eksploderede der i 2013 i en højde af 15–20 km over byen, der ligger i nærheden af
Uralbjergene.
Tjeljabinsk-meteoren (2013) rykker nærmere – uha!
Derudover ser vi andre steder,
hvor meteoritter i fortiden ramte jorden eller jordens atmosfære:
Tunguska-eksplosionen (Siberien, 1908), Barringer-krateret (Arizona, for 50.000
år siden) og Chicxulub-krateret (Mexico, for 65 millioner år siden) – den
største eksplosion, som ifølge eksperter ødelagde dinosaurerne – uha!
Tunguska-eksplosionen (Siberien, 1908)
Barringer-krateret (Arizona, for 50.000 år siden)
Chicxulub-krateret (Mexico, for 65 millioner år siden)
For det meste holder
asteroider og meteoritter samme bane i millioner år, men nu og da skifter en
asteroide bane, enten pludseligt på grund af et sammenstød, eller meget meget
meget gradvis på grund af fotoner af solens lys, der rammer asteroiden. Det er
altid teoretisk muligt, at asteroidens nye bane kan sende den på kollisionskurs
mod jorden, i dag, i morgen, eller om tusindvis af år osv – du godeste! Sikke
et skør univers vi lever i!
Heldigvis har eksperterne
fandt frem til, at der i de næste 100 år ikke er nogen fare for sammenstød
mellem jorden og en asteroide eller anden stor genstand. Du godeste! Da jeg hører dette, ler jeg af
lettelse! Problemet er, at de mindre meteoritter, som vi ikke kan se, også kan
forårsage en masse skader, ligesom i Chelyabinsk – uha!!!!
Mikroskopiske meteoritter (for
det meste støv fra asteroider) rammer jorden hele tiden, men vi bemærker dem
ikke. Jorden vokser hvert år med 40.000 tons – du godeste! Sikke en redelighed!
21:00 Jeg fortsætter at se
lidt fjernsyn. De viser den amerikanske politi-komedieserie, Brooklyn
Nine-Nine, og i dette afsnit skal Peralta og Diaz samarbejder med 2 svenske
detektiver, for at finde ud af, hvem har stjålet værdifulde smykker fra et
museum i Stockholm.
Du godeste! Hvorfor kommer danskerne og svenskerne ikke godt ud af
det med hinanden?!!!!
22:00 Lois kommer hjem og vi
går i seng – zzzzz!!!!
04:30 Jeg står tidligt op og
kigger lidt på internettet.
10:00 Vi går en kort tur i
nabolaget (1,3 miles, 31 minutter, 121 kalorier). Vores rute: Prestbury vej
(via den lokale sportsplads) ned til Morrisons-minisupermarkedet (hvor vi
smutter ind og køber et par ting), og tilbage igen.
Klokken er 10 og vi går en kort tur i nabolaget gennem den
lokale sportsplads
På vej går vi over den lokale
sportsplads. Vi er triste ved tanken om, at her om et par måneder vil stå
hundreder af grimme moderne huse – øv!!!!

12:00 Vi beslutter, at vi vil
prøve at finde et australske ægtepar eller en australske familie, der gerne vil
bo i vores hus, mens vi er væk hjemmefra. Der er en facebookgruppe, der består
af medlemmer af Lois’s kirke i Storbritannien og Australien, som er villige til
at tilbyde deres huse midlertidigt til andre medlemmer eller bo i en anden
medlems hus, mens de er væk hjemmefra. Men først skal Lois registere sig på
Facebook. Jeg opretter hendes konto, med (forhåbentlig) 5 venner: Alison, Ed,
Sarah, Francis og mig. Hun vil ikke udvide sin vennekreds uden for vores lille
familie. Hvor klogt!!!
12:30 Vi har tre kontorstole,
men vi har brug for kun én. Vi har besluttet at give to stole til en lokal
velgørende organisation. En af organisationens repræsentanter kommer at hente
de to sorte stole. Fremover vil vi bruge vores svigersøn, Francis’s stol, når
vi bruger computeren i spisestuen – hurra!
13:00 Vi spiser frokost.
Bagefter går jeg i seng og jeg tager mig en lang lur –zzzzzzz!!!!!
15:00 Jeg står op og vi
slapper af med en kop te og et stykke brød med hjemmelavet syltetøjmarmelade –
uhm!!!!

18:15 We eat
dinner. Afterward, Lois must be away. There is a church service taking place
tonight in Hatherley, which she wants to attend.
19:00 I see a bit of television. They show an interesting documentary about meteors and meteorites. Meteorites are fragments of asteroids which form the remains of the nebula that created the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

The program's host, Iain Stewart visits the Natural History Museum in London,
where they keep thousands of meteorites. Stewart sees a meteorite, which is
approximately 4.6 billion years old - my goodness!

thousands of old meteorites - my goodness! What a crazy world we live in !!!
We also see again and again the videos that local people took in Chelyabinsk,
when a meteorite exploded in 2013 at an altitude of 15-20 km above the city,
which is located near the Ural Mountains.
The Chelyabinsk-meteor (2013) draws closer - oh dear!
In addition, we see other places where meteorites in the past hit the ground or
the earth's atmosphere: Tunguska Event (Siberia, 1908), Barringer Crater
(Arizona, 50,000 years ago) and Chicxulub crater (Mexico, 65 million years ago)
- the biggest explosion, which according to experts destroyed the dinosaurs -
oh dear!

Barringer Crater (Arizona, 50,000 years ago)
Chicxulub crater (Mexico, 65 million years ago)
For the most part asteroids and meteorites keep the same orbit for millions of
years, but now and then an asteroid changes orbit, either abruptly because of a
collision, or very very very gradually due to photons of sunlight hitting the
asteroid. It is always theoretically possible that the asteroid's new course
can send it on a collision course towards Earth, today, tomorrow, or in
thousands of years time, etc. - my goodness! What a crazy universe we live in!
Fortunately, the experts found out that in the next 100 years there is no risk of collision between Earth and an asteroid or other large object. My Goodness! When I hear this, I laugh out of relief! The problem is that the smaller meteorites that we cannot see, can also cause a lot of damage, as in Chelyabinsk - oh dear !!!!
Microscopic meteorites (mostly dust from asteroids) are hitting the ground all the time, but we do not notice them. Earth grows every year by 40,000 tons - my goodness! What a mess!

21:00 I
continue to watch TV. They show the American police comedy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine,
and in this episode, Peralta and Diaz work with two Swedish detectives to find
out who stole valuable jewelry from a museum in Stockholm.
My goodness! Why do Danes and Swedes not get on well with each other? !!!!
4:30 I get up early and take a look on the internet.
10:00 We go for a short walk in the neighborhood (1.3 miles, 31 minutes, 121 calories). Our route: Prestbury road (via the local sports ground) down to Morrisons mini-supermarket (where we pop in and buy a few things), and back again.
The time is 10am and we go for a short walk in the neighborhood
through the local sports ground
On the way we walk over the local sports ground. We are sad at the thought that
in a few months there will be hundreds of ugly modern houses here - bummer !!!!

12:00 We decide that we will try to find an Australian married couple or an Australian family who want to live in our house while we are away from home. There is a facebook group consisting of members of Lois's church in Britain and Australia, who are willing to offer their homes temporarily to other members or stay in another member's house while they are away from home. But first, Lois has to register on Facebook. I set up her account, with (hopefully) 5 friends: Alison, Ed, Sarah, Francis and me. She does not want to expand her circle of friends outside of our little family. How wise !!!
12:30 We have three office chairs, but we need only one. We have decided to provide two chairs to a local charity. One of the organization's representatives comes to retrieve the two black chairs. In future, we will use our son-in-law, Francis's chair when we use the computer in the dining room - hurray!
13:00 We eat lunch. Afterwards I go to bed and I take a long nap -zzzzzzz !!!!!
15:00 I get up and we relax with a cup of tea and a piece of bread with homemade jam - yummy!!!!
