every four years

 Why wake so early?

There is nothing else to do but to continue sleeping. But since the bathroom is one floor further down it will be necessary to go down there, and whilst down there the cat insists on being fed, and then why not make a cup of coffee?

Take the cup with the coffee back upstairs and start work on the pictures. It is irritating, but the sensor on the camera is proving impossible to clean just using a blower brush. The few small spots of dirt show on the pictures.

The pictures taken yesterday are partly quite good, that is a relief.

Then suddenly, an irresistible urge for sleep. Lie down and conk out.

Two hours later, get up again and start to work again,

And at eleven, leave the house and go and visit the group, they are all meeting in the gallery, chatting away happily. Then, outside at a specially reserved table have a cup of coffee whilst all the others are eating some kind of snack and drinking fancy drinks or beer.

The general feeling of unhappiness will not go away. There are people wandering around all over the place dressed in medieval costumes, this is part of the medieval pageant held in the town every four years.
