start

The third day back from the holiday, and life is back as bad as it was before. It is hard to endure the dirt at home, the mess, the piles of clothing everywhere. The clothing that came back from the holiday has been washed and dried and is back in the wardrobe. The clothing of the son and the wife is on it's seemingly eternal rounds between resting in the washing machine or wet in the basket or back from the washing line in a pile in some basket waiting for it's tidying. The living room is a mass of papers and pieces of electronic devices that are being repaired.

Resolve to start with the kitchen, after having walked around town and had a cup of coffee. On the way back there is a woman begging under the arcades. She says that she is in her seventh month, and so ask her if she is there of her own will. It is known that there are organised beggar gangs in town, they are from poorer EU countries and are placed all over the town and are collected daily and brought to some place to spend the night. The money that they take in is not left to them, they only get a small percentage. Give her some money, for it is a horrible job and there is no knowing what situation she is in.

Return home and spend the rest of the day cleaning the kitchen.

This is a start, anyway.
