@matigo Not too bad. The osteoarthritis medication has kicked in. Plus I had one of these:
Five hours after leaving Mum's place we arrived at her sister's home. I then left Mum there & proceeded to the motel room. Enjoyed a nice AeroPress coffee. Some ablutions then off to collect Mum & aunt for dinner in some nice eatery. We spent 4 hours driving, and covered 350 km in that time.
@matigo It's doable. Recently I completed a 700 km journey in a day. My knees & back didn't like it that much, hence the 400 km per day restriction.
I'm going to that funeral on Friday. I'll be breaking the journey so I don't exceed 400 km in any one day. So it's going to be 350 km on Thursday, 400 km on Friday and 350 again on Saturday. I'm staying overnight Thursday & Friday in a reasonably cheap but really cosy motel in Mum's home town. If she's fit enough to come with me, she'll stay with her sister on the western side of that inland city.
Because of its proximity to the snowfields, today was the last chance to book a motel room for those two nights. Mum's sister has only one spare bed.
An Alaskan was on trial in Anchorage. The prosecutor leaned menacingly toward him and asked, "Where were you on the night of October to February?"
A friend has just had a hen house built for his four chooks. Another friend has made a sign for it.
In 1999, at his mother 's funeral, one of cousin Colin's two sons got our backs up somewhat when he started preaching at us, while it was heartfelt, most thought it unnecessary.
He's now a pastor somewhere in Gateshead in the UK.
