Gurgle and splash outside the windows of the top flat, it is raining and the gutters are noisy. It is early on Sunday and that is the only noise from outside. The town has shut up because of the rain and because it is Sunday.
Go back to sleep.
Later, go downstairs and make breakfast. The top flat is unheated, wonder how long the luxury of living there can last, how long the warm weather will last, and when will winter freeze the place until it is uninhabitable. It is just a matter of time. And if the plumbers find the time, it will be possible to install a bathroom on the same floor. What a luxury that would be.
Read what news there is, it is not much, today being the day of rest. The happy steady sound of the water in the gutters drowns the noises that the town must be making by now. It will do to go out for a walk later on, then it will be time to clean the flat of the dust incurred during the renovation of the back room.
The lack of social commitment is strongly felt now, now that it is no longer necessary to go to work. It will lead to loneliness in time.
