Quit your day job. Go on. I dare you.

Tia’s owner’s friend came over this morning to pick up a set of keys to my place so she can take care of Tia for the 4 or 5 days I’m away. I’m driving up to Paderborn in Germany this afternoon. Organising someone to feed the cat was the last thing on a long list of stuff to get done before the trip.

Finding some storage space in the valley for the van load of stuff I’m going to be bringing back with me, and then removing the seats from my Volkswagen transporter were high on that list. The seats were a bit rusted to their mountings & needed the help of a car jack & the hydraulic spanner down at the local garage to get sorted, but I now have a van rather than a minibus.

I’m a bit sad about this trip. I’m going to meet some of my family and help to clear an old family house that was build by my Grandfather, Big Joesph, who died a decade ago. Long story, but the short of it is that it’s the last time I’ll ever see the house that I’ve known all my life. We’re selling it, and I don’t imagine that I’ll even ever return to Paderborn.

Here’s me as a baby sitting on Big Joesph’s knee
