clear light warm bed silence of the Irish countryside in the early morning. Ensuite loo, irish way. Son slept in his smaller bed across the room. Last night the contents of his suitcase where spread untidily, now they are still spread all over the floor as they where.
He is up,and dressing, he wants to go out to his cousins.
Get up, brush teeth comb hair wash wash wash.
All done.
Go down the corridor, screed floor.
In the kitchen one child playing with a mobile device. Further on, in the sitting room two children in front of the large television playing yet another video game.
Make a cup of instant.
Look out at the clouds hanging low over the mountains.
This is beautiful, the spots of sunlight on the hills in the distance, the sunlight falling through a hole in the clouds.
A grey day, but so different from "the pavements grey", and still unlike William Butlers island
Gorse outside the window, yellow, and the clouds are crawling up the mountain's sides now, leaving the mountains bare.
