We saw this interesting exhibition about the lost Victorian London today.
Heute haben wir eine interessante Ausstellung über das verschwundene London des viktorianischen Zeitalters gesehen.
It was hard to take pictures because they had to dim the lights to protect items.
Man konnte nicht gut fotografieren, weil es nicht hell beleuchtet war (einige Exponate vertragen kein helles Licht).
Peter had to check the museum guides for the National Gallery and it was a mess! (The National Gallery is always the museum that changes out its paintings constantly. Right now, they closed a whole wing, which is quite a problem for the students' assignments.) He came home at night and was quite annoyed.
Peter mußte sich den Museumsführer für die Nationalgalerie ansehen und alles war anders. Die Nationalgalerie ändert ständig ihre Gemälde, aber jetzt haben sie einen ganzen Teil des Museums einfach geschlossen. Das ist ein großes Problem für uns, weil die Studenten jetzt nicht die Dinge sich ansehen können, die sie sich eigentlich ansehen müssen.
Tonight, our landlord came by to fix the heating element in the convection oven (the regular oven was working). We had a nice chat. He has traveled all over the world.
Heute abend war unser Vermieter hier, um den Umluftbackofen zu reparieren (die Ober- und Unterhitze funktioniert). Wir haben uns nett unterhalten. Er ist schon sehr viel auf der Welt herumkommen.
Sounds like Peter has already had to deal with one major headache, here’s hoping nothing else goes awry. Your lovely gift, card and Christmas newsletter arrived today. The mug cosy will come in very useful and as always Peter’s droll sense of humour had me chuckling throughout! Gosh you are all a talented bunch for sure 🩷
ReplyDeleteWe’ve been pondering a possible half way meeting place (depending on whether my health stabilises 😬) and Coventry seems doable. It’s a 2 and 1/2 hour train ride for you and a two hour car journey for me. I don’t know much about the actual place but I did watch a really lovely documentary about the Cathedral which is quite beautiful. I will try and find out more information at some point over the weekend. Maybe you could look at rail tickets and see if that works at your end?
With love as always

Yes, and now he has a cold. He had to pick up the students today, help them to orient themselves, help them buy phones, etc. He was not feeling good.
DeleteThat was fast! I am glad you liked it all.
I will try to find out about tickets, maybe on Sunday . . . We had a home education day at the Postal Museum today and the girls have a workshop at the V&A tomorrow. I just hope that we will not get what Peter has.
