very kind of him, really

the unwelcome sound of strumming from the tablet on the table in the corner of the pitch black room puts an end to sleep and dreams until it has been dealt with by tapping on the screen over the depiction of a button.
Then there is the need for the bathroom, the bathroom is cold now because winter has come and made itself at home here in the east of southern Germany. There is just the chill working it's way through the thick brick walls of the old house.

Return to the bedroom, it is the day of the dentist appointment, later, half past eight. It is only half past five now, so

Back to bed, and warm up.

Only a short strange dream later

Get up, and decide to take a shower, clean away the cloud of sleep and dreams that may have been caught on the skin and in the hair of the head. Shave before showering, the razor is scratchy it will need to be replaced.
And after the warm shower, drying the skin with an old towel, hear a knock on the bathroom door. It is the son, he is up, and he has an urgent desire to use the bathroom.
Walk through the corridor dressed in nothing but the wetness on the skin and the towel, finish drying in the bedroom.
Select the clothes for the day from the wardrobe, comb the hair, make a cup of coffee.
There is still an hour's time, the dentist does not have her practice far away.
It is only a check up, a prophylactic business, but there you are.

The son has readied himself for school.
He has made a second cup of coffee for his father.
very kind of him, really
