Up at four, it is dark, and there is no way that sleeping will work, so up, and take a tablet and read a silly novel about time travel which just derails into a silly account currying to sexual fantasies. Leave that be after half an hour.
Return to bed and sleep, deep and fast until seven.
and wake up to make a cup of coffee.
the coughing has not started yet, the experience of the last weeks has shown that it will only commence later in the day. Perhaps it is a reaction to the doctor's prescribed decongestant. Maybe that is it.
The son is up, the sun is up, it is Sunday, perhaps a walk by the river would be good today. There we are. There is another full week of leave time, please let it not be spent with illness.
The son is listening and watching stories on his computer. Paper books are only for school, for him.
Times have changed.
The quality of print has changed to screen reading iterspersed with pictures, moving and still. With the ease and quality of pictures their value has gone, the work involved in production is no more.
Stop musing, make another cup of coffee, prepare to put on clothes.
Realise that walk, some exercise will surely not be fatal.
The sun is now illuminating the sign of the Portuguese wine bar on the other side of the street.
