Onsdag 02/03/2016 kl 1630 til torsdag 03/03/2016 kl 1629

18:00 Vi spiser aftensmad og bruger resten af aftenen på at se lidt fjernsyn. De viser det første afsnit af den anden serie af ”Grantchester”, en krimiserie, hvor helten er en anglikansk præst, Sidney Chambers, i en lille landsby, der ligger i nærheden af Cambridge.

Et underholdende tv-program, men det har et problem i, at Sidney og hans ven, Geordie Keating, en lokal politimand, må løse ugens forbrydelse indenfor 60 minutter (faktisk ca 45 minutter, fordi de viser det i ITV, en kommerciel tv-kanal). På grund af mangel på tid bliver gerningsmanden ofte  afsløret kun i programmets sidste to minutter, hvilket er lidt utilfredsstillende – du godeste, sikke en vanvid det er!!!!

Efter min mening spilder de også lang tid på unødvendige scener, indspillet til fordel for James Nortons mange kvindelige fans, da de for eksempel viser Sidney og Geordie smide tøjet og bade i floden – øv!

En 15-årig gravid pige bliver fundet død efter en ulovlig abort. Hendes far falder over hendes dagbog, hvor hun skrev, at hun havde haft sex med en præst, så politiet anholder Sidney. Men det viser sig senere, at det var en anden præst, der gjorde det. Sidney bliver frigivet.

 

det viser sig ved slutningen af programmet at det var en anden præst, der gjorde det, og Sidney bliver frigivet af politiet

22:00 Vi går i seng – zzzzz!!!!!

03:45 Jeg står tidligt op og kigger lidt på internettet.

09:30 Jeg sender en email til vores danske gruppes medlemmer, og jeg vedhæfter 100 engelske sætninger, jeg har oversat til dansk, for at hjælpe dem med at have styr på første halvdelen af Lektion 11 i vores danske lærebog – du godeste, jeg er så krævende ha ha ha!

09:45 Lois skal af sted. Hun mødes kl 10:30 med to af hendes tidligere arbejdskollegaer, Rose og Sheila. De skal smutte ind til M&S, drikke en kop kaffe og spise et stykke kage – uhm!!!

10:20 Jeg går en kort tur i nabolaget (jeg tilbagelægger 1,57 miles, 34 minutter, 140 kalorier: stien stiger sammenlagt 45 fods). Min rute: Borgergade, Shaw Green Lane og tilbage igen via Højgade og Dybegade.

Klokken er 10:20 og jeg går en kort tur i nabolaget

Shaw Green Lane: for enden af gaden ser vi Cleeve Bakke, men toppen er dækket med tåge – uha!

12:30 Lois kommer hjem og vi spiser frokost. Bagefter går jeg i seng og tager mig en lang lur – zzzzz!!!!

15:00 Dørklokken ringer – vores naboer, Stephen og Francis, smutter ind, og jeg står op. Vi drikker en kop te og snakke om deres ferie i New Zealand. De kom i mandags tilbage til England, men i de to seneste dage har de koncentreret sig om at vænne sig til engelsk tid. På vej til Australien boede de et par nætter i Hong Kong, og på vej hjem i Sydney og Singapore. Det er meget sjov at høre lidt om deres rejser, og de råder os om de bedste måder at  klare meget lange flyveture – du godeste!

18:00 We have dinner and spend the rest of the evening watching TV. They show the first episode of the second series of "Grantchester" a crime series where the hero is an Anglican priest, Sidney Chambers, in a small village, located near Cambridge.

An entertaining TV program, but it has a problem in that Sidney and his friend, Geordie Keating, a local policeman, must solve the week's crime within 60 minutes (actually about 45 minutes because they show it on ITV, a commercial TV channel). Due to lack of time the culprit is often revealed only in the program's final two minutes, which is slightly unsatisfactory - my goodness, what a frenzy it is !!!!

In my opinion, they waste too much time on unnecessary scenes recorded for the benefit of James Norton's many female fans when they, for example, show Sidney and Geordie undress and bathe in the river - boo!

unnecessary scenes for the benefit of James Norton's many female fans - boo!

A 15-year-old pregnant girl is found dead after an illegal abortion. Her father comes across her diary in which she wrote that she had had sex with a priest, so police arrest Sidney. But it turns out later that it was another priest who did it. Sidney is released.

it turns out at the end of the program it was another priest who did it,

 and Sidney is released by police

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

09:30 I send an email to our Danish group members, and I attach 100 English sentences, I have translated into Danish, to help them to get a grip on the first half of Lesson 11 in our Danish textbook - my goodness, I'm so demanding ha ha ha!

09:45 Lois has to be off. At 10:30 am she is to meet with two of her former work colleagues, Rose and Sheila. They will pop into M & S, drink a cup of coffee and eat a piece of cake - yummy !!!

10:20 I go for a short walk in the neighborhood (I notch up 1.57 miles, 34 minutes, 140 calories: the path rises a total 45 feet). My route: Borgergade, Shaw Green Lane and back again via Højgade and Dybegade.

The time is 10:20 and I go for a short walk in the neighborhood

Shaw Green Lane: at the end of the street we see Cleeve Hill, 

but the top is covered with fog - oh dear!

12:30 Lois comes home and we eat lunch. Afterwards I go to bed and take a long nap - zzzzz !!!!

15:00 The doorbell rings - our neighbors, Stephen and Francis, pop in, and I get up. We drink a cup of tea and talk about their holiday in New Zealand. They arrived back in England on Monday, but in the last two days they have concentrated on getting used to English time. On the way to Australia, they stayed a few nights in Hong Kong and, on the way home, in Sydney and Singapore. It is a lot of fun to hear about their travels, and they advise us on the best ways to cope with very long flights - my goodness!
