fog rising from the river

19 July 2016 five bells on the hour, bathroom time, new trousers and a fresh shirt.
There is no cat today.
The waste bin has to be placed in front of the house today ready for collection.
Walk through the streets.
The man running the discount bakery is screaming at his workers again, the space in front of the shop is covered in empty cardboard boxes, all scattered in a big messy heap on the pavement.
.
The bus stop is deserted, now, early in the morning.
.
It is very bright, the sky is cloudless.
check the contents at the wallet, see that the financial situation is in order for the  day.
The bus arrives early, and after having paid just sit down and wait with the bus.
It will not leave the stop before it is time, no earlier.
Because of this waiting a large MAREIS bakery truck cannot leave  the town centre.
The driver is impatient, he starts to make his motor roar.
The bus driver continues to block the exit from the town.
Untill it is time to move.

and later, there is the smoker in front of the railway station, smoking his cigarette.
.
Good morning, man with a pigtail .

Coffee, stand in queue.

On the television, Putin angry about sports, Erdogan wanting the death penalty.
Licence to kill.

Two men of similar appearance, and similar behaviour.


They have changed the platform, the train is waiting on platform number four today, and not on platform six as usual.
.
Today will be a hot day,

 There is fog rising from the river into the clear air, dissipating as it 'it is warmed by the sun-
