get on with it

The window is open, fresh air
Enjoy the first cup of coffee reading the news at the small table in the bedroom.
Take the computer from the bedroom to the sitting room
The windows here are closed today, it was cooler yesterday evening.

The clock is ticking, the Brillie clock on the wall. The stupid article is not keeping time properly. It is losing a few minutes every day.
Because of the closed windows the sounds from the street are muffled, then there is the sound of the sons alarm, the one on his mobile 'phone. He turns it off, he does not get up, he continues sleeping.


Now the cat comes into the room, walks over slowly, diagonally, and pauses to rub the head against the human legs. She looks up at the closed window, and starts to frantically clean herself. She is disconcerted by the window closed today, open yesterday.
Open the window.
She jumps up to look out, pokes her head out into the air above the street. There is the sound of traffic. After a while, she jumps back down and goes to the kitchen.

Get up to make another cup of coffee.
There is still construction work to be done on the house, it will be necessary to get on with it.
