concentrate on the days business

 In the bedroom of the small flat there is the open balcony door to the front, and an open window to the rear. Sun and birdong comes in through the front winow, the twittering of the small birds, the finches and sparrows, and through the rear window the sound of human voices and the persistent loud cooing of the pigeons. There is the sound of bells now from all sides. It is nine in the morning. The sound of the traffic caused by those on their way to work school and study has subsided. There is the distant hum of a woodworking tool and the sound of the horn of a distant emergency vehicle.

It is quiet and peaceful.

Think about what is to be done next. This is difficult, in these warm and pleasant surroundings. Think of the book the reading of which is nearing completion. This is a book that appears largely to deal with the situation of women in interpersonal, societal and sexual relations over the last one and a half centuries. It is well written and delivers insights that were not previously available. It is worth reading. It is not funny.

ISBN 978–3–8353–5403–6 for those who command the German language.

It is now time for this pensioner to get up and to concentrate on the days business.

Such as it is.
