The watch, left in the bathroom the night before. The strap is damp. the take off the night clothes, put on the day clothes., be fresh for the day. then all ready, five minutes early. Rest a while on the strange seat in the hall, the cat comes in, purring, tats her head on the right knee. With that, the five minutes respite are up.

It is half past, time to go. Do the Martins bells sound today? the bells on saint Martins church unheard.
Goldies store lit up, as every day, also the empty shop with polish ownership. all lit up with nothing inside.
Cross the big main street, the old town market place. The young woman with the hair done in a knot on the top of her head approaches, striding fast, past the clothes store. All the shops are closed.

good Momaig, Dolores. The same three people as yesterday at the bus stop, at the same time.
Pay with a five Euro note today.
In front of the railway station, nothing, nobody, ninguem. No person. The smoker is off reading notices on the pillar, the hoarding, 'what are-they called in English, the" Litfass säule"

The cafe is empty, fast service today. A first stamp on the fresh discount card,
The television is showing films about tanks. for those who are interested in such things. They are frightening machines to watch. Then the news, complaints of interference from Russia, stories of lawsuits from America, and the usual insults and mucle play from Turkey. The Train is due, now down the stairs.
A friendly greeting from the mosaic maker, a person unseen for a long time. That was a nice surprise. She looks the same and cheerful as ever on her way to work in Munich.
The train comes in, it is full of holidaymakers. Now, the last Friday before Easter, this is the time that those without children will go on holidays.

And dry the hair, the back and the legs, use the towel from the hook. Find those fresh clothes, socks and so forth. Otherwise, all is the same as yesterday. Open the small wall cupboard and take out the wallet, take the mobile 'phone from it's loading plug, take a dab of cream for the nose.
Put on the glasses. Down the stairs and out into the Alley The shop opposite, the one with the second hand clothes, Goldies.

 Take out the camera, from the brown bag and focus. The early morning man passes, going in the other direction. Take the pictures of the shop. Walk on down the alley towards the church. A young woman approaches, her hair done up in a knot on top.

see her face, brightly lit by the mobile 'phone that she is consulting. A brightly lit face approaching along a dark alley.
Take another picture, Grimms kitchenware and hurry on. All that snaps having wasted time.
At the bus stop, there is Dolores. Good Morning.
The bus driver gives the ten Euro note a dirty look and hands over the change after searching in his wallet for a five euro note.
at the back at the bus, sit down, check the camera.The make up girl, f. made up, applying powder.
Face smooth as a dolls, perfect work.

He is talking to somebody actoss the way, chatting earnestly. No good morning today.
give the filled discount card to the short haired man in the cafe. His head stubble is longer today, he needs a shave
⇒ a large coffee, for no payment of money. That is good.

start the notes at the small round high table, and read the news that Tramp's travel ban has been stopped again. good news to start the day. Out on the platform, there is a need to wait, the train is late.A man passes by running as the train glides in over the tracks. He is running to the very end of The train.





Perhaps he wants to meet someone in the last carriage, a sort of early morning rendezvous.
Next stop Freising.
