buy presents for the children

wakeup alarm sounds, cat activity, noise generally, time to get up. The hours spent in overtime are hours spent at rest now.
The bed is warm, the weather is bright and cold, the cold comes into the flat. Clear blue sky is to be seen over the rooftops.

The activity increases, the son is getting his things ready for school, the big bag, the heavy thing on his back and a strange woollen hat on his head.
The wife pours herself a cup of cold coffee and returns to bed.

Read an article about Trump, describes him as a dangerous man, one who will destroy america and much of the rest of the world. If he is elected. The European dictators have never made anything better in the past, and the ones on the way now on the way to destroying their countries.

Dress and deal with the mail on the computer.
The cat is on the padded green covering of a sitting room seat. She is quiet, it is entirely peaceful.

There is the hum of a computer somewhere, it has been left on.
Tinnitus  hiss is there now too, and cars pass by in the alley outside, the tyres rumbling over the cobblestones.

A few schoolbooks remain on the floor where the son had left them in his hurrry to leave the house.

A sudden wave of tiredness, exhaustion. Now, whilst writing this diary of nothing.
Unfocus, focus, mind wanders, day dreams.

To drink another cup of coffee, and to leave the house, buy presents for the children to be visitied tomorrow.
