The Flea.

Adventure lies in the eye of the beholder.

Named for obvious reasons, ‘The Flea’ is our tiny trailer camper. With a multitude of excuses she has been hibernating undercover for a long time now.

Today she was reanimated.
Cleaned up, aired up, and spruced up, ready for adventure.
Because a) it has been way too long, and b) who knows how much longer I will be able to perform the required getting dressed inside yoga poses and the middle of the night gymnastic flip-and-pivot out the tiny flea door to go pee.

Inside is a double bed and some cupboards; at the rear, she opens up with a simple but utilitarian kitchen (including sink, stove and fridge). That is about it. A wrap-around awning increases the living space a little, but she is snug and minimal.

I think that I shall never see
a bedroom so squishy
as in the flea.

All these constraints are a feature not a bug if you have the right mindset. Now she is back online…. we will be casting off shortly for a trip to the ocean.
Or somewhere.

–ooOoo–

PS: dont @ me about my numberplate. It was a gift from my mum and dad back when I was a kid and you’re just jealous because you are not number one.
