Friday, 6th of September, 2019
The lukewarm shower finished, and the clothing put together, climb the stairs to the room with central heating. It is not on, it has turned itself off during the night. Change the mode to "hot water only", watch the numbers on the small screen show steadily higher values, until the boiler is hot.
There is no light in the attic, so fumble a path down to the flat.
The nights are longer now, the days shorter, and the summer is finishing.
The alley is lit by the streetlights on this dark morning. The weather is colder too. The street lamps are styled to look like old fashioned lanterns, but they are all equipped with modern "Light Emitting Diodes"
Crossing the junction between the alley and the old market, meet two people heading into town, a man and a woman. The woman wishes a "good morning" so return the greeting. Perhaps she is somebody who has been met before, and is now forgotten.
There are people entering the service entrance of the police station. Perhaps they are policemen starting work early.
Find the little black car, start the engine. Everything is going well, it is a forty minute journey to work, actually even less.
