26th October 20165 I
after all of the usual morning activities, having fed the cat and brushed the teeth, found the spectacles, realise that it is later than usual.
Even though the clocks are all reset to winter time,
Leave the house with the still-sleeping family in it walk down church street.
It in foggy and quite warm.
The pill was taken-not forgotten.
Municipal bus is already at the bus stop, this causes alarm. Is may actually be later than imagined.
Run.
On entering the bus's cabin, the driver shows no reaction. He placidly continues to fill out his forms, he is doing his paperwork.
Eventually he looks up, puts away his pen, takes the money and then:
Takes out his pen again and continues to write. He is early today, and running was unnecessary
Dolores is on board already.
Clinically clean modern automatic doors at the railway station slide aside when approached. Timetable up on the big board. Every thing is in order.
Anastasia has returned, she is back at >Yorma's, she has coffee ready before it is requested. It is good to see her, it is pleasant to be recognised.
This is a working day, there will be no attempt to be poetic about it.
It is Monday.
get a second cup of coffee, and prepare to move Iv the platform.
That was a thought, do not bother with that second cup
Just go down the stairs to the long tunnel under the tracks and the platforms, the long tunnel that goes all the way to a different part of town eventually.
The trains are in disorder, the early Munich train is late, commuter's rushing about fretting on account of the delay and their powerlessness to do anything about it.
On account of the time change, this good looking, icy coloured winter sunrise lights the platform that is so full of frustrated Monday morning work goers. An announcement sends them all scattering off to the next platform.
The way is free for the usual train, the one to Neufahrn, and it rolls in, dead on time.
The fog increases as the train proceeds towards Freising.
It is like being in an airliner flying through cloud. 'The new rails are very smooth, the train is steady.
and another week begins
