Friday, may B

The seaside melody will not let itself be silenced today.

Press, poke, huh, swipe, half asleep.

Then silence. No knowing exactly why, but silence.

get up, go to the bathroom, shower, forget to shave.

No matter.

search for the watch, cannot find it. What time is it, anyhow.

Down the stairs, there is the cat, waiting to say goodbye.

Rwhhsk! Rubbish! cats do not talk.

It is -.

raining, a steady drizzle. The pipe laying crew, they have only left a narrow

footpath up the street in the wrong direction.
so go up the one side of the street, and back down on the other.

Friday market is today, there are people  putting up

awnings in the rain. The man with the plastic shroud

around his fast-food stand is cutting sausages. His chores before the

daily sales start. Selling cooked sausages, fried fat and

bread.

Dolores is at the bus stop. she is friendly as always, even

though she never says very much. Actually-not a word.

The bus driver takes his money, points to his machine,
says take it yourself- two words- "Selber Nehmen!"

Just ignore that-he expects his customers to reach into

the machine and take out the ticket themselves. Turn and go. He shouts.

t "Ihr Fakrschen", germanfor "Your Ticket"

so turn around and say'-well, give it to me please-.

Perhaps a stupid business, but the german language

as it is used here is arrogant and rude. The difference 

between "Take your ticket!", and 'Here is your ticket?
No

'it is just the way the people deal with each other here.

The cafe, as always. Steamy today, because at all those customers covered in damp from the rain
-service

by a young woman with oriental features. She is polite +.

Alice Team Leiterin in the background. After the each

and every customer has placed  his order the query

'Alice?". No, it is just her habit..

Write the beginning of these notes in the cafe,

Standing-

at a small high table, the television high on the

opposite wall showing inane advertising for curious power tools,

The train is in ontime, largely empty, people not at work,
on leave early prior to the official school holiday start of the Whitsun

school holidays.

Today is the last day at work for two calendar weeks,

the annual leave renaming from last year needs to

be used up.

Next station is Freising.

Please leave the train on the right.
