stairs are of granite

the awakening to the sim laud silent 'phone, it is late, twelve minutes late. 

Hurry to the bathroom, wash speedily 'not forgetting to brush the teeth. 

Put all those day clothes on and leave for the street. The cat has remained in the background today,too much to do now, raiding the store of cat food left over from yesterdays shopping. 

The street is cold, and the building site has been moved over to one side at it. The road surface has been repaired with concrete filling, a temporary job. 

see the Friday market stall people setting up for business on the main street. They are shouting at each other as they attend to their stalls. 

The weather is better than usual, the forecast is good, and there  are many moreworking gthan usually on a friday. At the corner by the perfume torture shop  surprised by the same girl as yesterday hurrying around the corner. Her trousers are different today, Has no longer rippy at the knees. She glances up, and then  down again, hurrying on to whatever business she has. 

Dolores and the bog cotton man are at the stop, also a fat woman in a fawn coat. Pass a smoking man, there is a smell of freshly exhaled smoke in the air. This is not a pleasant smell 

When it arrives, board the bus. The man in front has no change, he pay with a large note. This takes time, the bus is late now. 

There are many people in front of the railway station, all surrounding the ash tray. The pig tailed smoker is there too

' good Morning. 

The girl at Yormas is just a bit faster today, dark hair, dark rimmed glasses, serious expression. Some old man gets his stuff, and effusively calls her "Princess" and "Darling".

The cafe stinks of old hard boiled eggs, a strange smell here. Not pleasant at all. 

By the time these notes are written the Rosenheim Diesel has arrived •, and has disgorged it's passengers. 

Go down the stairs, leave the blocked stairwell with the broken lift on the right, and climb up the stairs to the platform. The stairs are of granite, they will last a long time. 

The second half of the train is in, and enter at the first open door. This is the beginning of the last day this week.
