it must be age

Got up early and dressed quickly, enjoying only a light breakfast. Went out in the frosty dark and walked to the car which was parked in Neustadt, opposite to the local police station. The car started with no problem.

Drove the car to the university, the frost warning indicator was on, people were driving slowly. It was foggy too.

Arrive in Garching, it is surprising how well the place is remembered. There are more buildings, and once the people talk realise that there are not any more people there to run them. The master mechanic looks at the problem and says that they will do it in the new year, after Christmas. Do not show the disappointment,  it is good that they will attend to the matter.

Spend some time chatting to the old colleagues, then return to Landshut.

Examine the old attachment, and oil it a bit to make it work more smoothly. It will have to do for the time being until  the new part is ready. Then it will be possible to proceed with the new adapter.

There is a hope that they will finish it early.

Do some shopping.

Then lie down for a few minutes, and fall asleep.

Now it is thirty seven minutes past seven in the evening, twelve hours after arriving in Garching this morning. Why is the body so tired? It must be age.
