Lockdown was declared three and a half months ago.
Alison, our elder daughter in Haslemere, texts me. The family are
adopting a second dog – how crazy!! They already have a Danish dog, Sika, a
Danish ex-street-cat, Dumbledore, and a thrusting, dynamic young British cat,
Otto. The family will never be able to go on holidays now!!!!
Sika, the family’s Danish dog, in happier
times:
then not aware that he would have to share a
house with a British dog!
Poor Sika!!!!
I email out to our U3A Danish group members the vocabulary lists
to the next chapter of our Danish crime novel, “Dybt at falde” by Anna Grue. I
go down the road and post a print-out of the chapter to Scilla, who cannot cope
with email – what madness!
We order next week’s groceries from the local convenience store in
the village, and meat and cheese from
the butcher in the village. They will both deliver tomorrow.
Highlight of the day: Lois and I dust and hoover in the
living-room – exciting! Afternoon is a nap for me and gardening for Lois.
I order 4 new bulbs for our lights in the kitchen, hoping I have
picked the right size etc. Modern lightbulbs are one of my biggest nightmares –
there are so many different kinds now. Oh for the good old days when you could
only get one sort and just had to choose the right wattage! Come back, old
bulbs, all is forgiven!!!
We spend the evening watching TV, an old episode of “Peter Kay’s
Car Share”.
John and Kayleigh work at the local supermarket. John is a manager,
while Kayleigh works on the cheese counter. They live near each other so John
drives Kayleigh to work each morning.
Tonight Kayleigh thinks that John is plucking up courage to ask
her out on a proper date, but he’s only suggesting that she joins his Christmas
planning team at the store.
Poor Kayleigh!!!!
Poor Kayleigh (again) !!!!!
22:00 It's ten o'clock and here we are in bed already.
ZZZZZZZZZZ !!!!
Danish translation: Fredag den 10. juli 2020
Nedlukningen blev
erklæret for tre og en halv måned siden.
Alison, vores ældste
datter i Haslemere, tekster mig. Familien adopterer en anden hund - hvor skørt !! De har allerede en dansk hund, Sika, en dansk eks-gadekat, Dumbledore og en dynamisk
ung britisk kat, Otto. Familien kan aldrig rejse nu !!!!
Sika, familiens
danske hund, i lykkeligere tider:
dengang ikke klar
over endnu, at han skulle dele et hus med en britisk hund!
Stakkels Sika
!!!!
Vi bestiller næste uges
dagligvarer fra den lokale nærbutik i landsbyen og kød og ost fra slagteren i
landsbyen. De leverer begge i morgen.
Dagens højdepunkt: Lois
og jeg støver og støvsuger i stuen - spændende! Eftermiddag er en lur for mig
og havearbejde for Lois.
Jeg bestiller 4 nye pærer
til vores lys i køkkenet, i håb om at jeg har valgt den rigtige størrelse osv.
Moderne lyspærer er en af mine største mareridt - der er så mange forskellige
slags nu. Åh for de gode gamle dage, hvor du kun kunne få en slags og bare
skulle vælge den rigtige beløb watt! Kom tilbage, gamle pærer, alt er tilgivet !!!
Vi bruger aftenen på at
se tv, en gammel episode af ”Peter Kay's Car Share”.
John og Kayleigh arbejder
i det lokale supermarked. John er manager, mens Kayleigh arbejder på
ostedisken. De bor i nærheden af hinanden, så John kører Kayleigh på arbejde hver
morgen.
I aften tror Kayleigh, at
John tager mod til sig for at bede hende ud på en ordentlig dato, men han
antyder kun, at hun tilslutter sig til hans juleplanlægningsteam i butikken.
Stakkels Kayleigh !!!!
Stakkels Kayleigh (igen) !!!!!
22:00 Den er klokken ti
og her er vi allerede i seng.
Zzzzzzzzzz!!!!
