No internet!!!

When you don't have, you realize how much you use what you now lack. 

I'm talking about the internet.

We were without internet from Friday to Saturday afternoon.

Luckily our son came home and fixed it for us.

Lars has always said that I am scared of technology. It's so true. It took me a long time to get a cell phone. A laptop took even longer.

No, we do have a washing machine etc. It's just the new small electronic aids that scare me. Which they shouldn't do, because Lars has always worked with cell phones and computers.

As Lars has become ill, I have had to learn how these machines work.

It certainly doesn't come easily to me. That is why I am grateful for all the help our children give me. They are all willing to help.

But in terms of the internet, it's great that it's up and running again. That is one thing I would rather not do without.

A positive thing came out of not having internet, I got 3 sets of sponsor gifts made for the Bækkebo Christmas market: a tea tower and a small matching concertina to put in your bag, so you always have your favorite tea with you.

Christmas tradition_ A Christmas village

At home, we don't have a village with Santa(s) and elves, we have a winter village.

The winter village has been Lars' domain. He has collected the houses, the figures etc. This year he has realized, that he no longer can to set up the winter village, it requires too of him. This year, we will therefore help each other! I'll take pictures of the city - in detail - so that in the future I can set up the winter city as it would have been if Lars had done it.

We have begun - but it's not done yet. It takes time, but that's all right. Here's a sneak peek.

Når du ikke har, indser du, hvor meget du bruger det, du nu mangler.

Jeg taler om internettet.

Vi var uden internet fra fredag ​​til lørdag eftermiddag.

Heldigvis kom vores søn hjem og fiksede det for os.

Lars har altid sagt, at jeg er teknologi-forskrækket. Det er så sandt. Det tog mig lang tid at få en mobiltelefon. En laptop tog endnu længere tid.

Nej, vi har vaskemaskine osv. Det er kun de nye esmå lektroniske hjælpemidler, der skræmmer mig. Hvilket de ikke burde, for Lars har altid arbejdet med computere og mobiltelefoner.

I takt med Lars er blevet syg, har jeg skullet lære, hvordan disse maskiner

 fungerer. Det falder mig bestemt ikke nemt. Derfor er jeg også taknemmelig for al den hjælp børnene giver mig. De er alle villige til at hjælpe.

Men i forhold til internettet er det dejligt, at det er oppe at køre igen. Det er en ting, jeg helst ikke vil undvære.

En positiv ting kom ud af ikke at have internet, jeg fik lavet 3 sæt sponsorgaver til Bækkebo julemarked: et tetårn, hvori der kan være 20 tebreve og en lille harmonika æske med plads til 7 tebreve, lige til at putte i tasken, så man altid har din yndlingste med sig.

Hjemme hos os, har vi ikke en landsby fyldt med julemænd og nisser, vi har en vinterlandsby. 

Vinterlandsbyen har været Lars' domæne. Han har samlet husene, figuerne mm.  I år har han erkendt, at han ikke mere mangter at sætte vinterlandsbyen op, det kræver for mange kræfter. Vi har derfor hjulper hinanden dermed. Jeg tager billeder af byen - i detaljer - for fremover at kunne sætte byen op, som den ville have været, hvis Lars havde gjort det.

Vi er begyndt! Men vi er langtfra færdige. Men det er ok. Her er et lille smugkik...
