Friday 9.Dec

The shower head is blocked with time, no, with lime, the spray reduced to a trickle. Lime in the water, ruining all the fittings with time.

gather the clothing, put it on. The cat is silent today, and the light in the neighbours window is on, like every day. He is awake before five, an early riser.

Leave the house, go down the street. The main street has had salt spread on it, they are expecting frost and snow. 'At the bus stop Teachermann is standing around, waiting. There is a general tension in the air. Why? is it because of Christmas? All the lights over the street in the shopping part of the town, an atmosphere of change..

Meanwhile, the train boarded in Landshut has passed Mooshurg and is now slowing again as it approaches Freisirg.

There is now a young woman sitting opposite,

=> earphones (white), Handbag (black) and winter jacket (far trimmed, black). She has fair hair, and is trying to sleep, leaning against the window frame of the railway carriage. She is listening to music from her mobile.

and the people shuffle down the passageway between the seats, ready to hurry off the train, all as quickly as possible.
