It's a bright and sunny day in Tilburg. ANTON is standing in front of his house, quite relaxed, but also just a bit proud. He is wearing his (old) postman uniform, trying to keep his eyes as open as possible, but sun does its best to blind him. Because of this, his smile is kind of forced.
He thinks that the bright sunlight is playing some tricks on him, when he sees something moving.

Uhm... hello? Are you inside my house now? Oh, you are standing in my living room! In that case, I am Anton. What can I do for you?

I mean this is just our normal living room, I guess. My wife spent a lot of time finding the right furniture and decoration to make it as trendy as possible. I am glad that technology belongs to it, too, now, so we had an excuse to buy a new TV, haha.

I work as a postman here in Tilburg. I like the job. It connects me with the people who live in my area and this job is always changing. They introduced a lot of new technologies over the last years.

Anton makes a dismissive gesture.
''Anton''
Oh, you know. I can't really keep track of it. It all over the TV, now. I can remember how my wife was really looking into this protest thing John Lennon and Yoko Ono were doing a few years ago and of course there was the moon landing.

Oh yeah, the TV. There was nothing wrong with it but it was still a black and white model. So we decided to buy this new one that shows color now. My wife thought it was good idea, since we are paying for the color signal anyways. So we should get the full experience out of it.

What do you mean with "brick thing"? That is a shelf! Can't you see it? I build it myself! My wife wanted a new shelf, so I made one for her! Are you telling me that you don't like it? She thinks it fits in this room quite nicely. I mean, crafting is a relatively new hobby of mine, but still.

Oh, yeah, that was a weird story. She was working for a small fashion store in downtown. I was delivering some letters to the shop and while I was in there a small group of people started to gather on the street. I told her to look outside and asked what was wrong but she just said "Ah, my people" and left the shop. They were protesting against something, I can't really remember against what exactly. I thought I can't trust my eyes anymore. The next time I was there, she just pulled me with her outside, into the crowd. It was weird. For me, it took some time to get to know everyone of them, but they are a nice group of 8 people. I admire that they tried to change something. I would never have come up with the ideas they had. I don't have time for that, anyways. But she seemed to like me so we are stuck together now.

Oh, well, we have to pay a fee to our government so we can watch the two channels legally, ever since we have the TV. Most of the programs are in color now, and since we have to pay so much for it, we should also be able to watch them in color. So, we can get the most out of our payment. These are the kinds of investments you make with your Christmas money.

Yes! A record player of course. I like that thing, but my wife uses it most of the time. She likes this weird new music from America a lot. You know, where one song takes the entire side of an LP. It is not really my kind of music but she likes it so much, she plays it all the time.

Oh, well, that is the greatest achievement of this century. The Americans managed to shoot three men to the moon before the soviets were able to, and all of that in less then 10 years development time. Two actually stepped onto the surface. I almost fell asleep during the broadcast, but I wanted to see everything. They had to re-enact the landing in the studio with models, before Armstrong set up the cameras on the moon. I will never forget the footage they showed. Never ever.

Oh I don't know. I like the beach boys. I got my first record of them from my dad and sometimes we listened to it together. That were some good times. My wife hates them, though. She thinks they are "grandpa music". I am pretty sure my grandpa would have hated them, too.
When we have discussions about it, I usually give in. I just want her to be happy, I guess. Is there anything else you want to know about the living room?

//sigh//
No, I am not good enough. But I am practicing. I am trying to make some wooden toys for our little Wendy on the weekends, but they never turn out the way I want them to be. I don't know what is going wrong. I spend hours thinking about it and planning it, but once I pick up a tool, it goes wrong. I don't know why.

Yes, we got a child! Our little Wendy! We still need to get used to living with a small child like her, but I would do everything for her. Even making toys.
My wife started to make little dresses for her. She always wanted to have her own clothing label and now she starts to practice a lot. When Wendy gets older, she wants to focus more on the clothes again. That is why she pays so much attention to current trends. I hope she will get successful later.

Yeah, I also like doing sports. The government encouraged us to do some more physical activities when I was younger. They did a great campaign about it. My mom sent me to different sport clubs but the only thing really stuck with me was hockey. It was interesting to see the rise in numbers of people that wanted to try out the sport after the world championships. Most of them left after one or two trainings sessions again.

Hm... for example: the new post zip codes! Since we use some new machines now, that make it easier and faster to sort mail. A friend of mine who works in sorting told me they even got books with all the numbers in it to make it easier.

Yeah, of course! But the uniform changed over the last years. It's not mandatory to wear the cap anymore, for example. But for me, the cap just belongs to the outfit. Without it, I don't feel like a real postman.

I don't think this is particularly funny, but I know that we had mobile post offices in regions where there were not enough people to open real offices. They had counters, post-stamps-vending-machines and even telephone booths. However, we got rid of them a few years ago, because they were to expensive and impractical.

I am not sure but they used their honeymoon to protest against the Vietnam war. They were just sitting in their hotel room and invited some journalists over. It happened in Amsterdam.
//Suddenly, he realized something.//
''Anton''
Wait a minute. Oh no, now I get why she wanted to spend our honeymoon in Amsterdam!
