Don't quote 2nd/3rd para, as will probably be deleting.

Currently waiting in Folkestone for a train

I will be in an undisclosed location for most of next week, as I need to go and see somewhere and while I'm in roughly the same place (about 10 minutes drive), am going to find the person I've spent last few days trying to track down.

The search has been narrowed down to 4 villages; populations are 1270, 1090, 250 and 80, so this should be easy enough.

Willing to explain more by PM if needed

Just received a bit of a bizarre email ... sibling's gone off for a few days round Europe and left me an email telling me where to find their will "in case of terrorists"

Such a drama queen!

There are 2 envelopes (one at home, and one with my mom) marked 'to be opened after my death'.

They were done when I was ill, and contain a bunch of keys for the office, along with an address for the place my will/internet banking passwords/etc are located and details of how to find the key for the deposit box

Not stupid, but sensible IMO to do it like this, but digging everything out because of going away is a little OTT.

I'll be driving through 5 more countries today (although less than 10 miles into the last one), then into a sixth tomorrow..

Was the M20 okay CK? (assuming you came via M20)
I heard operation stack was lifted now.
Will be in Folkestone tomorrow AM and driving through 7 countries, but under much less mysterious conditions than you. Just combining some holiday with a visit to oldies.
Keep safe.

Edit: inspired by Wheezy I even bought some sardines.

And? How did it go?
Your light is green, so that's a good sign.

If you knew exactly what I'm doing, you'd know it's not mysterious at all, or particularly interesting.

I'm really concerned about someone I've lost contact with, and want to make sure they're ok. It's also done me a favour to sort something out few miles away, rather than leave it until September. I'm wouldn't be doing the trip if I couldn't fit both in together.

M20 took about an hour, so slower than normal but still moving.

I've been away. Still need to catch up.

You remember I wanted a miniature zebra? I just bought myself one. As close as I can get until Hamish delivers the real thing.

It defies belief that something standing 3' tall and weighing 16Kg, made of "quality designer resin" could cost so little! I've one tiny box of resin (whole packaging's no bigger than a video-case) that cost me nigh on £20!

I wonder if they mis-priced it, by leaving a trailing "0" off when they changed the price.

Just hoping it arrives. Just seeing Doozer's face when he spots it is worth £20 odd.
