the first

it is dark, hear the sounds from the kitchen as the son rises, think about this for a few seconds. There is not a lot to think about, it is just unusual to not be the first to awaken.
There is no alarm, it is only set for eight.
Still, today will be the first day of work.
Get up, go to the bathroom and wash the teeth, and then the face, before returning to the bedroom for the clothes laid out the night before. Put them on, and the son brings a cup full of coffee. He knows that it is late, he knows that his father failed to set the alarm clock.

Leave the house, there is a big blue rubbish bin for waste paper bin outside the door. It will be collected later, the contents will go for recycling to be turned to pulp for low quality cardboard.
The car is parked in a nearby street, remove the ice and frost from the window, and leave the parking space. There is already a small white car waiting to take over the space. Somebody's day started well, parking spaces in Landshut are rare.
Especially during the day.
The first day at work today, and consider that there will be nothing to do.

Follow a truck down the motorway, it has a large luminous circle picking out the shape of the tank that comprises it's load.
Follow close to save fuel. Drive in the truck's draft, in the slipstream.

Park the car beside the tree on the pebble parking place.
