hairy islands

feel quite good after waking up, feel that a shave and a shower would do good, would be nice. The family, the wife the son and the cat are all asleep, go into the bathroom and let the water from the tap flow untill it is hot. Go to the toilet and let the water flow untill it  stops. That is a relief. Turn off the hot tap now, let the sink drain, fill it with some hot water again. Wash the face, apply the shaving foam and run the scratchy razor over the face, untill the resistance from the three day old stubble has gone. Go over the face once more, make sure that there are no hairy islands left there.
And then, a warm shower, it all feels good, remember a long gone encounter in a shower, so long past.

And then dry and return to the bedroom, pick up the clothing from yesterday, all but fresh pants and socks for the day.

The wife and the son are still asleep, but now the cat is up and about. Sit at the small writing desk and read the news on the computer, about the politics that has been turned into a liars trade.

The cat on the floor, reaches up with her front paws, grips the corduroy trousers and jumps up onto the knees. Scratch her head, massage the fur on her back.

She purrs, she seems a happy cat
