Remember

peaceful grey morning light, sunday,
Cat makes noises, it is sunday, the noises are the same as any day.
Get up, bathroom, wash the teeth, wash the face, oh shower later.
Sunday. Grey, peaceful sunday.

The cat has vomited on the sitting room floor.
This is the beginning of  what may turn out to be one of the strangers days.
Clear the mess up, thankful that the schoolbooks on the floor went unscathed.
The animal watches, curious. Unknowing of the saying "curiousity killed the cat".

The sons alarm sounds, getting up early seems important to him.

Make a cup.
Empty the Bialetti of it's old grounds.
Yesterdays coffee, still damp, into the biological waste bin.
Clean out the aluminium can, and fill the coffee grinder.

And then put the fresh ground coffee into the machine.
Think of Bewleys in Dublin, with their French Roast, roasted black in the shop window in Grafton Street.
No comparison
Put the coffee maker onto the gas,
and wait.


The son turns on the television, watches cartoons of penguins.
Amusement.



Drink the sunday morning coffee, and send these notes out for any to see.
Remember : Finish restoring the writing table,
Remember : Tidy away the now-functioning camera,
Remember : Go for a walk
