Feline calls, cat wants to go out, or else it wants food... let it out, go to the bathroom. It is dawn, let the cat in out of the dark again. In this light, the animal is no more than a grey shape, rushing over the floor. Silence outside, this town is asleep.
One hour later the electronic honking of alarm sounds, the wife gets up, the son gets up, all things ready for school, and he is gone. silently, happy. He achieved first grade in English language yesterday this makes him pleased and optimistic today.
Make the morning coffee, using the usual utensils. The coffee grinder that was bought thirty years ago still serves well. It was expensive then, now it is old.
Go for a shower, and change to day clothes. When there is no need, the day runs more slowly, still, it is late.
The bedroom is a mess, clothes on the floor, dust under the bed. Things need to be done,. house work.: with only a right hand serviceable, this will take more time. Well, so what, there is plenty of it. In the sitting room there is an ironing board placed in front of the window, and there are school books lying about.
The detritus of last night's last-minute Latin, the results will not be as good as with English.
A language dies a second death, not even scholars use it any more.
