The family of three is two thirds asleep. There is the cat, of course, she is awake. But the human parts, but for this one, are asleep.
Be quiet, read the news on the computer.
All is well in a world that is so ill.
Sit at the desk in the corner of the bedroom, drink cups of coffee, read about the shamelessness of right wing politics.
It is the kind of shameless behaviour that appeals to so many people, because of it's rude simplicity. There is no attempt to hide that the only interest is "me and mine". And those who are not of this group, are not.
The weather is fine, outside. The thick walls of the old house hold the cold of the night. It is Ascension Day today, and in Germany they call it Vatertag. Men claim it for themselves, and imhbibe much alcohol to prove their right.
It used to be so that women stayed indoors today, but things change. Many things change for the better.
The town outside is silent yet, there is the very occasional sound of a car passing outside.
Take the computer out to the table in the big room, in order to write these notes. There is the sound of the wife in the background, she has risen from the sheets,
She complains of having slept badly, it is her back.
A description of back pains follows.
It is complicated.
Perhaps a walk would be good.
