The window light is fading from the dark that was the night. In other words, it is getting lighter. Get up, go to the kitchen, make a coffee before taking a shower. The kitchen is a disaster area, shopping not tidied away, bits and pieces left on the floor why bother? Who can complain of not having enough workspace if you never tidy up? Turn on the coffee machine and go to take a shower, and when that is done return to the bedroom. Put on underpants and socks, then sit down. The cat gallops over, and puts out its paws onto the knees. She seems to know the difference between skin and cloth, for she does not put out her claws. She is confused. Knees are usually covered in denim at this time, ready for her to clamber up. She seems to know that digging her claws into bare skin for purchase is not a good idea. So she wanders away again. Get up, put on the trousers and make a cup of coffee. Bring it back to the desk, and sit down. The cat gallops over, jumps up onto the window ledge, checks the leg covering, and steps down onto the knees.
For that she gets her head petted.
Decide that today will not be spent at home doing up the kitchen. Why? Because it would have to be tidied first, and that would take a few hours, going by the state of the place. And there are all the pictures that need to be sorted before retirement, before the end of work as it has been known hitherto.
So when the cat has jumped down, put on the jacket, put the mask in the pocket, and leave the house.
