gone

The day. 

A busy one. A bit stressed too. Very early on Monday I'm off to Bavaria for the festivities. The usual week away takes a bit of organising, but it's routine.

Two weeks away is different, especially with presents to be organised for folk over there and the ones staying behind here.

Then it's my son's 21st birthday at the end of the month...

He doesn't want a party, nor does he want his dad hanging around (unless money and/or food are required). 

He's always invited to Bavaria for a few days, but he never comes. His only visit was when I just bought him the ticket for his 18th. He moaned a bit, but trips to the Allianz Arena in Munich, the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt and to an Ingolstadt ice hockey game soon won him over. 

The last time I had C******mas in Scotland he went off to spend the day with his mum and (half) sister and I was left to a day of solitary contemplation.

Anyway, I had to go to the ATM again mid afternoon and stopped by the harbour in hope of the decent Blip. Good decision.
