Away (244/365)

[white_hart]

We are in Norfolk, at my parents', after a tedious if not actually terrible drive. There may be a lorry driver shortage but there certainly didn't seem to be any shortage of lorries on the A14. Mostly overtaking each other at 55mph.

Life chez parents is much as normal. My dad is sleepier than ever and conversation often deteriorates into a round of suggestions as to what the word he's looking for might be, rather as though our lives were being scripted by John Finnemore, but they seem to be in good spirits and it's nice to be here.

I hope the visit goes well!

When I was fairly recently on the A14, the M5 had taken so long that it was ten at night and the lorries kept slowing down and disappearing into lay-bys and I felt oddly fondly disposed towards them. "Lorry going to sleep... ahhh... bye-bye lorry... wish I could just stop and go to sleep... lucky lorry".

Glad parents are in good spirits and nice to be with.

Awww, I love the bedtime lorries! Though that is definitely very late to be on the A14.
