Friday26 June

the orange and black of the night sky over this town fades to a dark grey , then to a lighter grey. It is four thirty, take off the mask and ,go to the loo.
Afterwards, the cat, the kitten, starts playing, assaulting bedclothes and fingers. Rest untill five, the feline activities get wilder. Playing wildcat in the bedclothes.

Shower at five, and return to pick the days clothing out of the wardrobe. The cat looks on, bright eyed, probably hoping for food or other entertainment.
In the hallway open the door for the cat. It runs out to the balcony, to its tray.
Young cats learn quickly, they have clean instincts.
Downstairs find that the key is missing. Up again, and it is there on the piano.
Go down the street, past the yellow digger waiting to begin with the days work, past the police station. There is the car.
Return home to search for the watch, a neccessary timepiece. Spend the time searching, return to the car and find it there.
Navigate down through the tunnel under the castle, and take the road alongside the river until the passage under the railway bridge marks the end of the urban zone. It is quiet, it is early in the morning.
