Hedgehog has a new name now.



Monday, 12th of March, 2018.
get up, after getting the electric wires of the alarm into a twist. The tablet falls to the ground with a clatter.
Go to the bathroom, brush the teeth. There is no need for a morning shower today, this having been done the night before. Find clothing for the day.
Pat the cat's bony head, let it out into the hallway. Wear the black jacket today, it is warmer outside. Hear the sound of the rain pattering on the skylight, and take out the umbrella. One rib of the
umbrella is broken, This makes it hard to open. The cobbles in the alley are all wet and shiny with the rain, they reflect the lamps and the  other illumination. It is pitch black otherwise, there is no light from the shy.

Walk through the old town, down to the bus stop by the river. The bog cotton man is there, with an umbrella. Dolores is in the shelter with her knitted skullkap on. It is not much protection from the rain, but it will keep her head warm. A car passes by racing through the pedestrian zone, to take off down the main street at high speed, engine roaring, gears changing late. A man in a big hurry. Amen in a big horny. The Teacher man arrives just before the bus, he says good morning. He is wearing a hooded rain jacket today, this does not really seem to provide adequate protection against the rain. He looks wet and seems miserable.

The bus arrives, go to the rear part, behind the junction between the trailer and the front part of the bus. There is nobody there at all here, it is possible to be alone.


At the station wish the smoker good morning. He is out at his usual spot, with a big umbrella keeping the rain off him and off his cigarette. He is cheerful, he wishes good morning in as loud voice.

The café is busy, people buying beverages and sandwiches, some starting their sentences with

 "I will have", others with 'I would like".

Others just put their money and the discount card on the counter and say" thank you" when the daily coffee arrives.

Then to the waiting room.

Going by the name embroidered on The bib of the Hedgehog mans overall, he is called Norbert. Hedgehog has a new name now.
