Jan 28
The traffic on the South Circular picking up again for the morning rush hour. The window open to let the mild Dublin air in, the bedsit b&b being so small that the impression prevails that a few deep breaths during sleep will use up all of the available oxygen and leave the guest choking.
On closing the window it becomes visible that it has been raining, the street is wet, people are already striding down the street into town, towards work or college or whatever.
Go down for early breakfast, in case that the landlady has decided to go early to the funeral, as had been spoken of during the last morning.
Visit the shared bathroom on the way.
The kitchen is empty and deserted, she has not got up early to go to the funeral. So back to the room, tidy up the bed and write this.
There is a storm rising outside now.
Irish weather at its very best, snow is due later in the day.
But then, perhaps the sun will break out and there will be sunshine.
