too much oil, old and tired

 The alarm sounded, realised that the room was the aseptic bedroom of the hotel with the smoke filled reception area. The hotel room was clean, but it was good to be able to leave the hotel at eight in the morning and to take the car over the hill back to the brothers house. All of this was in the middle of the country near Frankfurt.

Have breakfast with the brother, and then go for a longer walk up a valley. It was an old valley with a strong river which used to supply power to many water mills on its way.

Later, returned to the house, footsore and exhausted.

And in the early evening, drive the nephew and his son back to their home in Regensburg.

The car is using far too much oil.

And its driver is getting old and tired.
