14th February 2018
It is very cold today, It is cold in bed at the junction between the bed cover and the mattress. There is no need for a shower today, that had taken place last night. Look at the clock, it is ten to five. go to the bathroom, then return to bed. For the three minutes until the alarm clock sounds. No, it is the tablet.
Dress quickly today, and then take time to pat the cat, she is up and about today. Pack the package of coffee pads for work into the jacket pocket, and leave the house.
Hurry through the town, there is a very noisy street cleaning machine in the main street. It is all orange flashing lights, it is clearing up the remains of last night's party. Fasching, done, now it is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. The town is busy with delivery trucks. At the bus stop, say good mornings to Dolores and the bog cotton man, and start to count the money in the purse. There is enough change there for the fare, then the bus arrives, give it to the bus driver. He checks the sum, and gives out a ticket for the short journey.
The bald man with the beard, coffee ready without asking for it, and the order for the person next in line ready before it is spoken. The bald man with the heard knows his customers..
Take the cardboard cup to the small counter where the lids are kept, and after finding a suitable plastic lid take a seat in the waiting room cafe. Watch as the other cafe staff and the bald man exchange jokes and stories. Then, a humour-filled guest appears over at the counter, and blows a hiss to the bald man, wishing him a happy Valentines day. The bald man with the beard seems at a loss for a second, then he turns around and works his coffee machine. It was just a bit of humour at ten to six in the morning.
The cold is bitter today and has driven the pigtailed smoker away from his spot in from of the station, he is inside, in the hallway today. He is visible outside the glass doors of the cafe, talking to another man. Neither of them may smoke there, in the hallway.As the Train passes through Moosburg later, see that the cars have snow in their roofs, and all the people are inside the cafe there, and all in winter coats. It is cold, frosty, people are huddled. Think of Bernhard's book, about the bitter frost in the mountains, and realise that that describes a situation that is far worse.
There is a lively group conversing in the train, all bonhomie, all in good humour, Telling jokes and stories. We will reach Freising soon, the train has been delayed, it is late. If the local train has been missed, this will mean a quarter of an hour on an ice cold platform.
