Now in the mild rush of preparation for our latest journey north. We'll be setting off directly after Friday Prayers, hoping there's not much of a jam at that time. But mentally prepared to be wrong about that.
My last job of the morning is to figure out what CDs to take along, on the grounds that if the floor at the house is now officially laid and done with, and we can put the furniture back in place over the weekend, then our trusty Bang & Olufsen CD player (only needed repairing once in the last 23 years) will be in action again. I'm leaning towards taking a heap of my most recent purchases but having just played a bit of rather intense flamenco - by a guy called Gino d'Auri, featuring guitar and cello, of all things - I'm wondering whether to dig out a few of my more off-beat disks to give them a refreshing airing.
22.00
A smooth journey - to our slight, but gratified, astonishment. Our faith in the north-south highway is restored (almost.)
Stopped off in leisurely style at Pagoh for a cuppa and roti bakar. And ate plentifully at the Crave Cafe when we arrived on the hill. What's not to like, eh.
And the house looks in pretty good shape after its recent battering!
