less noticeable slapstick than I
The reason I came over to Kiel earlier is that I am assisting Christian move the last of his stuff out of his Hamburg flat. Or rather, I'm helping him do so. There is rather a lot of slapstick comedy in my work today, with Christian as the unwilling straightman, looking on and wincing. Poor Christian. He's already tiring himself out with work on the house, has driven a truck all the way here and now has to watch me manhandling his goods down what seem like a hundred flights of stairs.
Also David, a crafty who was at Grossderschau, is assisting, more ably and with less noticeable slapstick than I.
When we get back to Kiel we pick up some of the last of Mariana's things (or at least things that are coming with Mariana) and stick them in the back of the truck, then to the Yellow House, then back to the Harrey Road flat for the last of it. There is drama and police intervention. I shall draw a veil over the procedings.
Then we have pizza (quite an undertaking in itself in Kiel at 11:30 on a Sunday night) and I assist Christian in assembling the Kitchen table. Then Bed.
