Wahey, 17 again! Thank you.
Just feeling human agian after a bath and supper. This weekend I have
driven this:
<http://www.esquivalier.com/wp-content/uploads/bighugetruck.jpg>
well over 400 miles (as well as loaded it up to the brim and unloaded it
again) so it's all been pretty exhausting.
For the first five or so hours of those 400 miles I was marvelling both
at its amazing performance and how the perspective reduces the apaprent
speed of travel. Then I realised that I was reading km/h from the
speedometer, and that I'd been speeding along nearly 200 miles at an
impressive 40 mph or so.
Cheers everyone!
Daniele

Actually, enjoyable is not how I would describe it. My father was moving
house. It was quite exhausting, for various different reasons, to the
point where late yesterday afternoon I was if not actually
hallucinating, but definitely nearly seeing things that weren't there.
But it's done now. There's maybe just a transit van load left, for
another time. And the unpacking.

Unpacking you can safely leave to others....
Moving, especially for relatives, is a painful experience. On our last
move we couldn't find a decent firm who would do the job - everyone said
they couldn't get their vehicles down the lanes etc. - so we ended up
with help from the family. Slight signs of stress were noted....
