What's that called? I like these foreign detective series. "The Brokenwood Mysteries", set in New Zealand is a good one. The Scandinavian ones can be rather dark and political, which I am not so keen on.

Brokenwood is on tonight 8pm on Drama Channel. Sicily last night, New Zealand this evening.

And we're off. Maybe not to Tübingen though. Will report on return...

Made it.

Elder Son = awesome.

Details follow. Eventually.

It's raining & I can't see Godrevy.

Just checked, and discovered I am also unable to see Godrevy.

I can see two castles and the Rhine/Danube watershed though. Does that count?

I may be in a very reflective mood tomorrow.

My Mother's home (house) is now on the market. Tomorrow is the first viewing by a potential buyer. My brother, or my niece, or the estate agent, (or all three) have put a lot of effort into "staging" or preparing the property and it does look fairly good.

We moved there as a family in 1967, but my father worked abroad until about 1974. I left home in 1984. It is the family home. Times change. One of my nieces would like the remaining furniture. I am sure other people have been through this scenario.

The house that my family has been in since the earlier 60's was recently sold by my mother. But she went into hospital at the exact time that things needed sorting out and left me to sort things out. I got so much stress that I've really, really not felt any sense of losing a home. You do have to watch out for family on the make, though. That but can be depressing.

Fortunately my Brother is Executor of my Mother's will. He has done all the paperwork.

I am not sure what I feel at present. It was where I lived for seventeen years, but because my Father was abroad so often and so long, it was not really a Family home.

Far better than having to do it on your own. I hope it goes well for you and the rest of your family.

Thank you. My eldest brother is not speaking to me for some reason, though I do not know why.

The choice of seven syllables per line really concentrates one's mind - no space for any wasted words. But now my brain has cried enough for the night.

Seen that one before.

To be fair, I prefer his car / bike stuff. The transit van Nurburgring lap record one was just bonkers.
