“So you are home again.”
“Seemingly so.”
“Your books are in great disorder …”
“I know. They are for years now, I will not start to arrange them by topic, author and whatnot this evening!”
“Your appartement needs a bit of cleaning – why not grab the vacuum cleaner …”
“Stick the vac to your …”
“Hold it, I know what you’re gonna say, you’re so predictable.”
“We cleaned and arranged hundred of books for the last five days, took hundreds of photos in a cold room on a cement floor – what do you expect? Rhetorical peaks?”
“Oh, we are a bit grumpy?”
“No … just tired. And it became a bit silent and, yes lonely, when the good company had left. We played good pool.”
“You smoked too much. But you still hung around for another day – bathing in self-pity, eh?”
“I had the idea that I could do some things, but it did not work. In the end I read some books about rural architecture and a magazine from 1900. It seemed necessary to finish this the right way.”
“With a bottle of cheap Austrian plonk called Veltliner … want another visit by count Podagra?”
“Hmpf. It’s all well-arranged in the mine now, I just have to write the titles into the database.”
“There’s a deadline looming …”
“Who needs them?”
“YOU, you lazy idler!”
“Anyway, it’s all arranged. If nothing goes wrong I can keep the original deadline. More or less. Some more weeks are no problem the headhoncho said. And the big supremo talked to me. Chances are that I will arrange the library in the new place.”
“New – bah …”
“Only because the house is from the 18th century it doesn’t mean its unsuitable. It’s dry.”
“And in the middle of nowhere.”
“What means that it is quiet there – a big advantage.”
“You and your holy silence. Isn’t it quiet enough there where you are?”
“No. Young people are noisy – and the place is filled with young hormone driven people and …”
“Stop whining. You sound like your own grandfather.”
“My grandfather Alfred would have kicked their arses through the door … great man.”
“Don’t be vulgar. He was a goddam killer as you know, spare this for another post. Anyway – welcome home.”
“Thank you. But be silent now.”

The old voice in the head. Mine can be pretty vicious. Most voices in the head need to f**k right the hell off.
“The Real Cie” said it.
Take good care of yourself, Herr Mago.
Nice post. But stop listening to that voice and go out and have some fun. Blessed Christmas, Mago.
Happy Christmas, MsScarlet ! Alfred – ? He was a soldier, the fun may be limited. Sorry.
