to tidy up

It is the weekend.

Time free.

get up, and the cat is there.

wanting food.

that is all the cat seems to live for sometimes.

The son is complaining, he needs to tidy his room before his friends arrive, they are turning the weekend into a computer game weekend.

So he needs to tidy his room

But his computers need to be fixed.

He needs to tidy up his room.

and the cat is excited, there is more activity than usual.

The wife is up, away from lying in bed.

And the town outside the windows, waking up, the noise of cars, and bells.

It is nine fifty five.

fix the clock, reset it, shorten the pendulum another bit.

Even electric clocks need care and attention

The cat is showing increasing signs of alarm as the son starts to move computers out of his room.

The cat does not like strange arrangements.

The cat likes food and likes attention

the cat goes to the window sill to look out.

And meanwhile, having made coffee on the old Bialetti with the new sealing ring,

drink the second cup.

The coffee is much better now.

Sealing rings are important on bialettis.
