23 February 2018
Morning, up before the alarm, look at the watch. It is five to five. Leave the lights on, put the clothes together, leave the house.
There is slippery frozen snow on the pavement, crunches underfoot. It is cold, a cold spell
that will go on for a few more weeks, two. Walk past the church, a bakery truck speeds by on the main street. There is a car parked at the junction, at Grimms shop. These are private security people who take care of the shops. When it is cold, they remain in their cars with the engine running. At the bus stop, exchange the usual morning greetings, Dolores, the bog cotton haired man. It is the same story every day. Realise that the ipad is still on the cable at home, forgotten. That means that there will be no Portuguese lesson at lunch break today.
Later on, at the cafe, the bald man with the beard, his boss, the dark haired girl, for she is very young, with the dark rimmed glasses. The service is fast, and the coffee is the first hot thing today.
Later, on the platform, it is freezing cold, a cold breeze, unpleasant, taking the warmth from the run of the coffee cup. The train is late, and it halts farther down the platform than usual.
Observe all the prospective passengers rush down the platform to find their usual place on the train. Some are in panic, then the waking
train slows, brakes, they follow the desired carriage down the platform. The train stops, the doors open, and the arrivals disembark. Those waiting on the platform are impatient, they wish to he on board first, they are frightened that they are not going find a free seat with the desired company. One man forces 0nboard, pushing past those trying to leave the train.
Stand back and watch this show. It is not really important, what on earth is import ant?
