We have a new blogger
Today I spent some time setting up Dad's old PC and making a copy of his files. In the process I found some of his old email messages that he sent to Harald and decided that I would set up a blog for Dad...even though he can't add any stories, I will add them as I extract them out of his writings.
You will find a link to his blog under my links! And I hope you all enjoy the first story I added on Dad's behalf.
Other than that I cooked. Bought some fresh sardines yesterday which I baked in oil. We had garfish for dinner. Was delicious. I also bought a new screen for my PC (flat panel) which I installed this morning. And we drove to Pascoevale to put a deposit on the security shutters. Made lunch for Stuart and Paul who finished our patio and most of the roof. Only a few things left for Stuart to do during the week...and he also will remove all the rubbish.
Tonight Dennis and I watched our Saturday shows....Inspector Limley Mysteries followed by Frost. I found 2 hours of detective stories as much as I could handle hence worked on Dad's PC after Inspector Limley was finished. We enjoy the british detective series. Saw the end of Frost which also looked good.
Am feeling much better tonight. Still some discomfort but I am sure by tomorrow it will back to normal.
Just noticed the time! I find the time slips by awfully quickly when I am translating! Better head to bed.

Hi Helga, I also thought quite hard about it. Dad kept a paper trail of all his emails. He also knew that Harald was keeping them and talks about creating a cd backup of them. Then when I visited him in hospital earlier this year and told him one of the reasons I was leaving work was so that I could start writing down his and Mum's stories, his eyes filled with tears and he said that his stories were also worth telling.
This has caused me a lot of sadness since Dad's death and I feel that I can now at least do this partially using the information he left in his writings and mail. I will of course be very sensitive about what I write and mostly concentrate on events in Dad's life.
Glad you enjoyed the first story.
Love, Inge.
