Dawn is past as the train arrives

Return to the bedroom, lights on, and search for fresh clothing, it being Monday today. Find the rubber part for the nose mask under the bed, it had become come adrift from the mask in the night, rendering the mask unwearable.

Check all the items needed for the day, the telephone is almost discharged, it's battery is nearly empty. Attach an emergency battery, this may keep it going. Check the contents of the bag, and leave for the train, the bus. The street is empty and dry, there is a lone silver car parked on the road, waiting for the early morning parking warden's attention. t


he Angel's stump shop, Grimms catlery and kitchen ware, pass in the mornings hurry. Mustafa's Kebab and the discount bakery, side by side. Bog cotton smoking, Dolores gives a nod of recognition.

When the bus arrives, the bog cotton man first, he pays with a big note. The driver takes his time giving change, the waiting passengers block the pavement, and a cyclist forces his way through the knot of people.


 The pigtailed smoker is at his usual salon at the ashtray-cum-waste bin thing in the middle of the railway station forecourt. He gives his morning greeting, it is returned Another one of those regular phenomena.

 The cafe service is slow, but seems  faster today than last week. They are learning.

They may, however, never reach Anastasia's tempo, she had the order ready before it was made.

 The cafe is empty, no Hedgehog under the television set showing pictures of people pumping iron. 





Board the train, as every day, and make these short notes. Let the train drive into the growing day. Dawn is past as the train arrives in Freising.
