awaken early, go to the loo, then brush the teeth. Return to bed, and the alarm sounds on the tablet. After turning it off, return to the bathroom, have a warm shower.
And when that is done, back to the bedroom, the clothing from the wardrobe, be ready to leave the house at half past five.

the alley has downtrodden snow all over it, and a small powdering of fresher snow that had fallen during the night. Sometimes the road surface in slippery., but mostly it has salt and grit on it. It is cold and inhospitable, the snow and ice gleaming out of the dark.
There are utility vehicles with salt hoppers attached to their rear loading platforms and orange lights attached to their. roofs. These are the vehicles of auxiliary snow moving people, contractors to the town. They use there vehicles in winter this way, they are gardening firms and farmers.
at the bus stop wish the bog cotton man a good morning, he is all wrapped up against the cold. He is the only one there today. The bus arrives, the money is counted out onto the drivers till, and the small ticket is put into the pocket. Today is Tuesday, yesterday's illness is over.
Get a large cup of coffee from the cafe in the railway station, the woman on service is barely awake. But the bald man with the beard is fretting about behind the counter, and is making her work faster. He is impatient today, he is not as friendly as usual.
Observe two older people, older men, talking about their job. They are pensioners, earning extra money. They are very officious, they have to approach people all day and ask them where they are going to and where they are from, and what hind of tickets they use. A job perfect to busybodies.
The train leaves platform six to divorce through a white perfect Christmas landscape.
Except that it is not Christmas It is Easter.
