friends

Get up at seven, all the other people in the house are asleep. There is the son, with two friends over on a visit, and the wife, asleep and sleeping deeply.
Get up, go to the bathroom, return.
See that it is seven in the morning, two hours after the usual awakening time, The cat is awake too,  and is wandering about, looking for attention. Go to the kitchen, turn on the light. Work at the coffee making machine, small and silver; with mechanical parts that need a quick rinse.

Later, sit at the desk in the bedroom, the rest of the flat has been taken over by the son and his friends.
Sit there and try to work out what is happening to the world according to the news on the computer.
Drink up the coffee.

The wife gets up and goes to the window.
She sees that it is raining outside. And goes back to bed.

And there is no news, no surprises. A misguided bomber, and a democracy working in Germany. And a government in England unable to explain what it is doing and why.

And now it is lighter outside, the cat has gone to sleep on the bed, the wife is sleeping too, and now it is time for a second cup of coffee.
And prepare to go to Munich, to visit friends who have come to Germany on a visit. They want to look at Munich.
It will be nice to see them
