nicely

The morning with its meanwhile usual upstairs and downstairs, and off to the bathroom and breakfast and what have you.  Today there was no collapse, almost strange to say.

Took the car to the artist's studio and collected the camera. Returned to the house and unpacked the gear. Then discovered that there were no further pharking spots available.  As a result, spend a lot of time carefully fitting the car into an almost impossibly tight parking spot, really just with centimetres to spare at either end of the  car afterwards. But all is well that ends well.

Set up the camera to test and to see whether it was in good working order. Everything was fine.

Check on the clock and decide to go to Regensburg to have a look at the shoe shop selling the Austrian shoes. After leaving the house realise that the mobile 'phone has almost no power left. Decide to take the next train, return home, set the alarm for threee quarters of an hour and lie down on the studio couch.

Finally, catch the bus and be driven to the statihon. The train is punctual, and in an hour's time arrive in the city of Regensburg. Walk from the station to the shoe shop.

Spend an hour there trying on various sizes and colours. Come to a decision, and the attendant promises to write a mail as soon as the shoes arrive. That should be on Saturday, or better still, Monday.

Stop by a bookshop on the way back and buy a book on mathematics and music. Stop into a café and have a cup of coffee.  The service is delightfully ultra slow, and the coffee is very bad indeed. It is expensive too. The place is charming, apart from those details.

Then walk back through the town, and board the waiting train.

On the journey back receive a note on the phone with an invitation to meet up and to go to the cinema. That should round off the day quite nicely.
