day one week twenty one, two thousand and fourteen

8.12.2016

       Check clock at three, establish that there is time left to rest, time until five. The dock alarm has not been set, sleep on and doze untill six. Much too late, shower. Overslept, stupid. Take clothes from the wardrobe, find socks in the drawers,. Put it all on, wonder whether I should use the car or not. Swallow two pills, the days dose.

             NO

                Rain today, rain reigns ok. Steady patter, noisy spatter. street sweeping machines cleaning the streets gutter, spraying more water on the rain-soaked cobbles before brushing over them with one of the rotating brushes. Brigh flashing orange LED lights, very bright, very abrupt.

        it is later, there are people in the streets, big trucks delivering wares to the stores, it is still very dark. A man and two women wait in the bus shelter, sheltering from the rain. Bus in five minutes.

                It has more passengers than the earlier one. It arrives at the station as the Train to Munich is leaving, Yorma's Anastasia, giving away small chocolate father christmas models, gets her money for the coffee after my struggle with the wallet. Of course all the other people usually there have long gone. Time has elapsed, 'sit in the cafe, fifteen minutes wait for the next train.. Make notes, drink coffee, No choice, just

wait.

People hurry past outside, time is passing, 'platform six, seven oh eight.
Doubledecker train

late late late.
