Thanks guys. 
Got it. 
*bounces happily all over the place*
I'll start on aug. 9th, 25 hours a week with the possibility of increasing the number of hours, as I get used to working again.
The tasks is right up my alley - registering, scanning, working with the home page, taking care of visitors, doing little driver's tasks, driving stuff around, doing a bit of photography now and then and generally being the "all-round-smurfette" at the museum.
I've worked there before for 2-3 years, and I think that the main reason why I got this job, is because my old boss put in a good word for me with the new boss. Connections, guys - connections are worth their weight in gold.
So on aug. 9th, I'll be back at the Police- and Crime Museum in Copenhagen, and right now I just can't get my arms down, I'm so happy!
YAY!!!

Congrats on the job Maria.

B-17: Not envious at all. Good thing, I hope you'll have a great trip with your friends.
Bucksnort: Sounds good, shoot a few arrows for me.
Later tonight I'm off to Langelinie with biker buddy Poul.

Great stuff Maria, awesome!
So, a personal tour then, should one stumble through the doors? I'm off on the 9th, so I'll raise a Carlsberg, Tuborg or any other Danish brew that I can find to your success.

Spent the day at Duxford where I saw a visitor getting all upset because he blieved that the Spitfire in the BOB hall wasn't a Mk 1. He kept going about this to his clearly long suffering wife who eventually said that he should tell someone. He went over to the first person in uniform who although he didn't realise, it was a Paramedic on a lunchbreak and told him that the Spit was a Mk 2 not a Mk 1.
The Paramedic obviously knew a lot about aircraft must have decided to have some fun. By the time he finished he had persuaded the visitor that the Spit 1 was originally designed for 4 x 0.50 and had to be changed to 8 x LMG and could be equipped with laughing gas sprays. This was because laughing gas wouldn't be against the Genevia convention as it didn't kill anyone but would stop the german troops fighting and as such wouldn't upset the USA. He told the visitor that it was only to be used in the event of an invasion which didn't happen.

Dug out a couple M1 Garand Rifle receivers I had sitting on the shleft collecting dust and dated them. One has a serial number which places manufacture in 1953 sometime, that will be built up into a shooter with all the parts I have one hand.
The second receiver date to being made in Oct-Nov 1943, mid-war. Not in the best of shape, has some character though so I'm going to start looking for matching parts to rebuild that rifle into a period correct version.
A little exciting to have a historical object that most likely was used in combat during WWII. Hopefully I can make that one into a shooting example as well? Time to start research and looking for the correct parts.

Cool, Bucksnort - I hope you'll be able to find the proper parts. It sure sounds like a fascinating project.
My good things?
Yesterday, I met two online friends for the first time ever - Laila and Dorthe. We had a great time, chatting, laughing, having a great time at my place. It was so cool that we all hit it off right away.
And today Dorthe uploaded a series of photos on Ekvinde that she and hubby Boris shot at the RAF Museum in Hendon, especially for me, because she knows that I love WWII aircraft and history.
EDIT: Oh, almost forgot this little gem of a 1:5 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. I - it's prolly been shown in here before, but it's new to me:
