… what it was that went past here at 05:49 but whatever it was, it made enough of a racket to awaken me.
I was in the middle of a nocturnal voyage too – something about an Austin 1300GT that was dismantled. It was bright yellow, the same colour as my taxis were, and we were discussing its paint job. I remember saying that it would come out of the factory with the underneath of the wings already painted like that and so there would only be one or two panels that you would need to pay for the painting.
Anyway, little chance of going back to sleep at that point so I did some work on the laptop instead.
Hans went out to the shop and came back with fresh bread rolls so we had a good breakfast and then went out to IKEA. And there I struck lucky – in the reduced section was a small folding camp bed for just €20:00. That is now in Caliburn ready for another adventure.
For lunch Hans made burgers and chips and then we went for a walk. Because of Brexit issues, he’s had to go back to work and so runs a small whisky shop in the town. He took me to see it and to show me around. And I think that I went on all of these walks today and I forgot to take my camera with me each time.
On the way back we stopped at the ice cream parlour for dessert and then it was time for me to hit the road.
A leisurely drive through the German countryside has brought me as far as Furth where I’m staying for the night.
This is a nice hotel too. There are several buildings here around a central courtyard so it’s fairly quiet and that suits me fine. I can smuggle the slow cooker into my room without any problems at all and so I’ve had another nice tea of all kind of tinned bits and pieces.
And having done the washing up, I’m going to have an early night. I’ve not done very much today but I’m totally exhausted having done it.
