The decision made the night before is put into effect today, the pain in the back has not gone, "stay at home before it gets worse again"
so turn off the alarm, sleep on
Hear the son pack up his things for school, get up and wish him a good day, he has a test again today.
Go to the coffee machine, but carry the container for biological waste out to the balcony first. The alternative would be to coax the coffee grounds down the plughole, but that would block the drains- if not today then tomorrow.
There is snow on the balcony, it has not melted, it has remained in white heaps on the balustrades, covering the spaces in the yard. It is not really cold, it is barely freezing, the snow will probably vanish during the day.
Fill the little sieve with coffee, fit it into the machine, place a cup underneath it.
Press the button, and the brown liquid pours out. Brown froth on top, a nice little cup of very strong coffee.
Using the computer, write an excuse to the official at work, just one line, incapable today.
A weekday no busses, no trains, no tensions in the office.
All done
Write the notes on the computer.
And there is nothing to say, but that it is quiet.
The clock is slow, turn the wieght on the bottom, shorten the pendulum, reset the hands on the dial.
Let us hope that it will keep better time now.
