18:00 Lois
ringer til mig på telefon. Hun er hjem igen senest kl 18:30. Hun og en gruppe
af venner fra hendes kirke har brugt eftermiddagen på at distribuere i
Upton-on-Severn nogle pjecer, der giver detaljer om en ny serie af
bibelseminarer, som kirken skal holde startende fra næste måned. Jeg skynder
mig ind i køkkenet for at lave mad.
18:30 Lois
kommer hjem igen og vi spiser aftensmad: corn beef, kartofelmos og baked beans
– nam-nam!
19:30 Vi
bruger aftenen på at se lidt fjernsyn fra torsdag og fredags udsendelser, for
det første ”Full Steam Ahead”, en interessant dokumentarfilm (6. og sidste del),
der handler om udviklingen af jernbanerne i Storbritannien i det 19.
århundrede. For første gang i vores lands historie havde almindelige folk penge
i lommen for at bruge på sjov, for eksempel, udflugter til havet eller ud på
landet.
Desværre
glider jeg af og til over til søvnen under programmet. Du godeste! Jeg er nu
godt oppe i årene – ingen tvivl om det!
20:30 Vi
fortsætter med at se lidt fjernsyn: ”Friday Night Dinner”.
Denne serie
handler om en jødisk familie, der bor i London-området: mor, far og deres to
voksne sønner, Adam og Jonny. I dette afsnit bliver de to ”drenge” sønderknust,
da de finder ud af, at deres forældre vil gerne sælge det hus, de både voksede
op i – du godeste, de er så umodne! Et meget underholdende show, men jeg tænker
nogle tider, at det mere skyldes skuespillernes talenter, end scriptet og
plottet. Du godeste, jeg bliver en sandt pivehoved – det ved jeg med sikkerhed!
22:00 Vi går i
seng – zzzzz !!!!!
05:00 Jeg står
tidligt op og laver én af mine rutinemæssige danske ordforrådtester.
08:00 Jeg
skynder mig ind i køkkenet og laver to kopper te. Jeg bringer dem op på vores
soveværelse. Vi ligger inden i sengen og drikker teen. Vi står op og spiser
morgenmad.
10:00 Vi taler
lidt på Skype med vores yngste datter, Sarah, og hendes 3-årige tvillinger,
Lily og Jessica. Sarah arbejder som revisor for Burger King / Hungry Jack’s i
Perth, Australien. For tiden arbejder hun på en 6-måneders kontrakt, der bliver
slut i oktober. Firmaet har tilbudt hende et fast arbejde i sit hovedkontor i
Sydney, men lånen er den samme og huspriser er meget højere derovre, så hun har
afvist tilbuddet. Men hun har også bedt ledelsen om at forlænge sin nuværende
kontrakt, så hun kan få større sikkerhed.
Vi
taler lidt på Skype med Sarah og hendes 3-årige tvillinger.
Vi
ser tvillingerne lege med det lille legehus, som Lois og jeg forærede dem
10:45 Lois
skal af sted. Der er to gudstjenester, der i dag finder sted i Tewkesbury, som
hun vil deltage i. Hun kører med sin veninde, Maggie.
Jeg har lidt
alenetid, så jeg hopper op på min kondicykel og jeg cykler 3 miles (5 km).
Hurra! Jeg ved, jeg kan blive rask igen!
12:30 Jeg
spiser frokost.
14:00 Jeg
kigger lidt på Facebook. Vores ældre datter, Alison, og Ed, hendes mand, har
tilbragt et par dage i Sverige (Marstrand, i nærheden af Gothenburg). Ed har en
arbejdskonference, han nu og da skal være med til, men Alison kan lege turist!

Alison, vores ældste datter, og Ed, hendes mand,
tilbringer
et par dage i Marstrand, Sverige. Ed går en kort tur i havnen.
14:45 Jeg går
en kort tur (1 mile) i nabolaget. Min rute er Borgergade, Møllegade, krigsmonumentet
og hjem igen via Højgade og Dybegade.
16:00 Lois kommer hjem igen og vi slapper af med en kop te på sofaen.
Saturday, August 27 at 1630 to Sunday, August 28, 2016 at
1629
18:00 Lois calls me on the phone. She will be back home
no later than 18:30. She and a group of friends from her church have used the
afternoon to distribute in Upton-on-Severn some pamphlets that give details of
a new series of Bible Seminars, which the church is to hold starting from next
month. I rush into the kitchen to cook.
18:30 Lois comes home again and we eat dinner: corn beef,
mashed potatoes and baked beans - yum-yum!
19:30 We use the evening to watch TV from Thursday and
Friday shows, firstly "Full Steam Ahead", an interesting documentary
(6th and last part), which is about the development of the railways in Britain
in the 19th century . For the first time in our country's history ordinary
people had money in their pocket to spend on fun, for example, trips to the sea
or the countryside.
Unfortunately, I drift asleep now and then during the
program. My Goodness! I am now well advanced in years - no doubt about it!
20:30 We continue to watch TV: "Friday Night
Dinner".
This series is about a Jewish family living in the London
area: mother, father and their two adult sons, Adam and Jonny. In this section,
the two "boys" become heartbroken when they find out that their
parents would like to sell the house they both grew up in - my God, they're so
immature! A very entertaining show, but I think sometimes, it is due more to
the actors' talents than the script and plot. My goodness, I am becoming a true
sourpuss - I know that for sure!
22:00 We go to bed - zzzzz !!!!!
05:00 I get up early and do one of my routine Danish
vocabulary tests.
08:00 I hurry into the kitchen and make two cups of tea.
I bring them up to our bedroom. We lie in the bed and drink tea. We get up and
eat breakfast.
10:00 We speak a little on Skype with our youngest
daughter, Sarah, and her 3-year-old twins, Lily and Jessica. Sarah works as an
accountant for Burger King / Hungry Jack's in Perth, Australia. Currently she
is working on a 6-month contract that will end in October. The company has
offered her a permanent job in its head office in Sydney, but the salary is the
same and the prices are much higher over there so she declined the offer. But
she has also asked the management to extend her current contract, so she can
have greater security.
We speak a little on Skype with Sarah and her 3-year-old
twins.
We see the twins play with the little playhouse that Lois
and I gave them
10:45 Lois has to be off. There are two services that are
taking place today in Tewkesbury, which she wants to participate in. She is riding with her friend, Maggie.
I have a little time alone, so I jump up on my exercise
bike and I ride 3 miles (5 km). Hooray! I know I can get well again!
12:30 I eat lunch.
14:00 I look a little on Facebook. Our older daughter,
Alison, and Ed, her husband, have spent a few days in Sweden (Marstrand, near
Gothenburg). Ed has a work conference, which he has to attend now and then, but
Alison can play tourist!
Alison, our oldest daughter, and Ed, her
husband,
spend a few days in Marstrand, Sweden. Ed goes for
a short walk in the harbour.
14:45 I go for a short walk (1 mile) in the neighborhood. My route is Borgergade, Møllegade, war monument and back home again via Højgade and Dybegade.
16:00 Lois comes home again and we relax with a cup of
tea on the sofa.
