Sunday...


Sunday's the day...


Moving for the 2nd time in 4 months... 

And for the 36th time

since I left home at 17...

About all I have to say about that is...


F * * K!!!


PS... I decided to itemise all the moves from 1976, when I left home, just to make sure I wasn't exaggerating... 

Turns out I've only moved house 30 times, but if you count the multi-week motel stays enroute to postings and new countries, then the totals hits about 40!
