order

............according to the promise made yesterday, put on the day clothes immediately, realising that it is late and that the magic of the morning will be over. All on account of copious self-indulgent, staying in bed on account of a robust cold. But it feels good to rest, and to let the body get on with recovery and rebuilding efforts. 

And then away, down the cobbled alley onto the New Market street, passing the design shop on the left, seeing the luxury beer shop opposite with the ecologically flavoured fancy good store and the novelty baking tray store.

Then the shop selling better watches, right by the freshly cleaned war memorial, where the road needs to be crossed taking care not to fall foul of the octogenarian boy racers in their German brand name luxury cars, to the small cafe.

Ein cafe und ein kücherl bitte

coffee and a cake please, eine cola und einen Bienenstichkuchen for the son.

And then listen to the stories from the cyberworld in the computer, the brand name competition, the fight with the simple logic in complex systems.

And when all is done and spoken about walk down the road past where the market had been yesterday, and to the big modern building complex housing a cinema and various shops.

In the basement, Aldi. Aldi, the discount food store.

Buy cat food there, and then see a package of Brie. Think of the cheese stall at the market yesterday, look at the Brie more carefully. It will unlikely be as good as the one from the market. Regret- it is a matter of taste, and why save a small amount of money to forego a great pleasure.

What of it, too late now, take the Brie, the poor cousin of the strong tasting cheese in the market place.

And the head is dizzy now, and the nose is stuffed.

Staying in bed would have been in order............
