• Anecdote: Camping trips, Rørvig Sogn, Ods Herred, Holbæk Amt, Denmark. "As children, we went on bicycle holidays with Mom and Dad. We biked from Copenhagen to Hundested and from there sailed to Rørvig, where we camped. It was Mom and Dad doing the biking with Anny in the seat on Dad's bike frame (cykelstang) and Evy and I in the trailer (anhængeren) attached to his bike. They, Mom and Dad, had packed the large basket that was usually stored in the attic. It had handles at each end and a canvas (sejldug) covering it. It was filled with everything needed for camping including the tent. A freight carrier picked up the basket before we left and delivered it to Rørvig where it was standing in the middle of the field waiting for us when we got there. We used the basket as our table inside the tent after we'd unpacked everything." - Daughter, Henny Nielsen.

"A mega barricade party is arranged with participation of many well-known artists, politicians, theatre groups, well-known and unknown bands, and with pageants, divine field service, guards' parade, front cinema, communal singing, a children's party, information booths, socio-political hearings and the "Peking Opera" performed by Solvognen in Den Grå Hal (The Grey Hall)." - Christiania's Guide, 4th edition 2004, written by Christianites.

• Anecdote: Diary entry, 3 Nov 1977, Mallorca, Spain. "Torsdag d. 3 November. Vejret - Sol og Varme. Vi var på Olivar og købe Kaffe, og drak kaffe ved Havnen. Efter Middag gik vi en tur i Omegnen, og var ellers hjemme. Når jeg skriver at vi var hjemme, så dækker det mange ting, vi spiller Kort, vi spiller Billard, eller vi hygger os med Vennerne som der er mange af, så vi keder os aldrig." Translation: Thursday, November 3rd. The weather - sunny and warm. We went to Olivar to buy coffee and drank coffee at the harbour. After lunch we went for a walk in the area and stayed home the rest of the day. When I write that we stayed home, that covers many things. We play cards, we play billiards, or we hang out with friends, which we have a lot of, so we're never bored..

• Anecdote: Diary entry, 4 Dec 1978, Mallorca, Spain. "Mandag d. 4 December. Vejret - Sol om Formiddagen, efter Middag let skyet og Blæst om Aftenen Regn. Vi kørte til Progresso og drak Kaffe på Havnecafeen, og kørte hjem over Genova. Vi havde Ethel - Ruth og Gunnar til Aften.
Det lyder måske lidt underligt at vi hele tiden kører hjem over Genova med linie 4, vi kunde lige så godt køre med linie 3-13 ad Hovedgaden, men derfra og op til Hotellet er der en ret stejl Bakke - den såkaldte Pepes Bakke og da vi som regel er lidt trætte når vi skal hjem er det nemmere med Linie 4, der er lidt længere at gå, men vi undgår Bakken." Translation: Monday, December 4th. The weather - sunny in the morning, a few clouds and windy after lunch, and rain in the evening. We rode to Progresso and had coffee at the harbour cafe, and rode through Genova home. Ethel - Ruth and Gunnar visited in the evening.
It may sound odd that we take the no. 4 bus through Genova home all the time. We might as well take no. 3-13 down main street; however, there's quite a steep hill from there to the hotel - also known as Pepe's hill, and since we're usually tired when heading home, it's easier taking no. 4. The walk is a bit longer but we avoid the hill..

• Anecdote: Diary entry, 6 Dec 1978, Mallorca, Spain. "Onsdag d. 6 December. Vejret - Sol og Varme. Vi var på den værste Bjergtur, vi har oplevet. Vi fandt en sti ude ved Ruinen, det var bare op og op til vi nåede toppen, der var en praktfuld Udsigt ud over Bjergtoppene, deroppe var jo hverken vej eller sti, vi vadede bare rundt, og da vi skulde hjemad kunde vi ikke finde ned. Vi gik i 6 timer uden et eneste hvil, vi kom til en Teltlejr, men den gik vi uden om, vi troede at det var en Zigøjnerlejr og det var ikke så rart at møde dem heroppe i de Øde. Så hørte vi Øksehug i det fjerne og gik efter lyden. Det var nogle Skovarbejdere, der var også en Kvinde og et Barn og en Hest. De viste os hvad Retning vi skulde gå, Sti var der ikke noget af så det var en besværlig tur, men vi kom da ned til Genova inden det blev mørkt. Til al held kom der en Taxa forbi som vi standsede, for vi kunde næsten ikke slæbe Benene efter os. Vore Venner var blevet meget bange for at der var tilstøt os noget." Translation: Wednesday, December 6th. The weather - sunny and warm. We've been on the worst mountain hike we've ever experienced. We found a trail out by the ruin. It was all up and up until we reached the top. There was a beautiful view of the mountain peaks from up there. There was no road or trail so we just walked around and when it was time to return home, we couldn't find our way back down. We walked for 6 hours without stopping. We saw a tent camp but we walked around because we thought it was a gypsy camp and weren't really keen on meeting them up here with nobody else around. Then we heard the sound of the blow of an axe and followed the sound to a group of lumberjacks. There was also a woman and a child and a horse. They showed us which direction to go. There was no trail so it was a difficult walk; however, we made it to Genova before dark. Luckily we caught a taxi - we could barely walk anymore. Our friends were really worried that something had happened to us..

• Anecdote: Diary entry, 5 Jan 1979, Mallorca, Spain. "Fredag d. 5 Januar. Vejret = Skyet men lunt. Jeg var ude og hente Plader til Ethel og Martha, på værelserne er der et såkaldt Kuffertbord, men det er med brede Revner, i en gammel Ruin havde de haft tynde Korkplader på Vægene, dem fandt jeg ud af kunde bruges til at lægge på Kuffertbordet med et lille Søm i hvert Hjørne så havde man et glimrende Sofabord, og det var der mange der fik. Om Eftermiddagen fik jeg stærke Mavesmerter, om Aftenen kastede jeg alt op hvad jeg havde i mig, det lettede." Translation: Friday, January 5th. The weather = cloudy but mild. I was out picking up sheets of wood for Ethel and Martha. There's a "suitcase table" in each of our rooms; however, it has large spaces between the slats. In an old ruin, they used thin sheets of cork on the walls and I realized that those sheets could be used on the suitcase table. With a small nail in each corner, it turned into a brilliant coffee table. I made and gave many of those away. In the afternoon I got severe stomach ache and in the evening I threw up everything I'd eaten. That helped..

• Anecdote: Diary entry, 16 Oct 1979, Mallorca, Spain. "Tirsdag d. 16 Oktober. Vejret - Gråvejr med spredt Regn, men varmt.

Later I went to the woods and then the cemetery to pick flowers..

• Anecdote: Diary entry, 2 Nov 1979, Mallorca, Spain. "Fredag d. 2 November. Vejret - Mest Sol og varme, tørt. Vi travede rundt i Omegnen, senere var jeg allene ude og finde Jord til nogle Tagetes jeg havde sået, de skulde plantes ud. Det er ikke så ligetil at finde Jord til Potteplanter, det er rød Jord, den bliver hård som Cement når den bliver tør." Translation: Friday, November 2nd. The weather - mostly sunny and warm, dry. We walked around in the area. Later I went out alone to find dirt for some Tagetes that I'd sowed and wanted to transplant. It's not that easy to find dirt for potted plants. It's red dirt. It becomes hard as cement when it dries..
