Well, our American colleagues call their yearly department excursion "lagoon day" (because they go BBQ at a lake,) so my boss decided we'll call our excursion the same. However, we did not go to a lake. Instead, we went to Markt Feucht and visited the Hermann Oberth Raumfahrt Museum which is a small but very interesting museum dedicated to the work of Hermann Oberth, a pioneer of space technology. Very geeky exhibits, cool stuff in fact...
Eurofurence is getting closer and I still have plenty of things to do... Yesterday I bought, um, some stuff for the pawpet show. And, completely unrelated, I found a pair of new shoes, bicycle trousers and a new small pillow for journeys. The old pillow started to smell, so I tried to wash it. It smelled even worse afterwards. So I washed it again. Afterwards, it leaked some strange brown liquid and stank as if it had been placed in a romm filled with cigarette smoke for twenty years. Given the age of the pillow, it actually might have been. So I cut it open, and apart of lots of half-rotten chicken (!) feathers it had about 20% hay in it... No wonder it started to disintegrate. I therefor trashed it and bought a new one.
Well, not many news, but nevertheless news...
I have one really strange habit: every time I'm about to go on a journey I clean up my rooms. Of course, the upcoming trip to FC is no exception. All what's missing is the washbowl in the bathroom and I still have to vacuum. Other things finished today: tell the neighbours that I'm gone for a while and pack the remaining few items. One thing to do for today: get a nice glass of whisky.
