Blacky goes Berlin
Howdy, Country & Folk-shippers. Berlin is again host of the annual Country Music Fair and I will be there. Looking forward to meet friends, musicians - and to see how the little world of those folks will react to the first co-production of my friend (singer/composer) and me (lyrics). Soooooooooooo excited!!!
Will be back Monday evening MEZ :)

Unfortunately the West Coast of the US is really long. I'm on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State; I can see the mountains of Canada from my roof. She's in California, a hundred miles South of Monterey. According to Google Maps, the fastest route is 1061 miles (1708 km) of mostly Interstate superhighway, a 16.5-hour drive - I wouldn't take that route by choice, but the one I'd prefer would be a lot longer.
That's the reason my daughter is so insistent about her Auntie moving here. It's a long, scary, exhausting, expensive journey through a great deal of bad traffic, and if something happened, so that we had to race down there like a bat out of hell, there's an awful lot that could go wrong; we might not get there in time.
I know porridgebird loves her job, though, and her wild sea-coast, and the climate, which is much warmer and dryer than here. LOL, and I also know she doesn't want to be my housemate; we were room-mates for a year in high school, and we're both a lot more set in our eccentric ways now.
That's okay; if she comes here she can have the guesthouse, which is separate from the house and quite private, until she finds something that suits her better. But at least for the time being, I think she intends to stay where she is and hold on to her job, if she can just locate a place to live. Fingers crossed! ^^
