listen to the sound of children in the street outside, chattering and talking. The family have their car parked in front of the door, in the street. Loading up their holiday gear, for a long holiday. The Portuguese restauraunt opposite will close for the holidays soon.
The chatter is steady, the parents talk.
A car rumbles past.
Look out, the child is climbing up the car, the door is open, it is using the luggage rail as a grip.
And then there is silence again.
The tinnitus is turning into a steady loud hiss again, almost painful now, it is early in the morning during holiday time
There is still a blue plastic salad bowl on the table from yesterday
and the plans for the day have receeded into the distance.
Look through the open door into the kitchen, all the utensils placed on the working surface., The large glass of honey, the coffee machine.
Yes, the coffee machine, make a cup of coffee now.
