The white hoodies are clean now too

 A strange awakening this morning after a night of interrupted sleep. There was the natural urge to go downstairs to visit the bathroom, which was duly followed.

Once downstairs it was established that it was a quarter to six, this would be a time for breakfast. Go to the silver coffee maker on the stove and feel that it is hot, as if there had been coffee made insde the last half an hour. That would explain the smell of coffee in the corridor, of course. The house is empty, but for this one person and the cat.

Make breakfast and then, when done, check the computer for any further news. The part for the camera has been updated, it will arrive today. This is good news.

Go downstairs again and scrub the bathroom floor. it is one of those things that just needs to be done noe and again. The detergent has a nasty sort of clean smell.

Then fill the washing machine with all the dirty towels and a sheet and the white hoodies that never seem to go clean anyway. Run the the machine at sixty degrees, perhaps the stains will come out with the higher temperature. 

Then go upstairs, and put the camera on the tripod in anticipation of the arrival of the mounting plate for the digital back. Then start to sort things out with the lenses, and arrange a small picture for later. The computer informs that the package is under way, and is not far off.

The cat wants attention too, and insists upon jumping up on those warm human legs and she also allows her back to be stroked.

When the washing is done, put the whole lot into the dryer, but for one shirt which goes onto a hanger wet so that some of the creases may fall out of it.

The piece of equipment arrives, just a very small casual package. Bring it upstairs, one can tell that iit is an origingal part by the way it fits and the snappers close with no bother. Attach the back, and turn it on.

The picture appears on the screen after the correct buttons have been pressed. So far so good, and then the exposure is measured and an exposure is made. A second picture with a different exposure, and then the card is removed from the camera and put into the computer.

The result is most pleasant, it is far better than expected.

The white hoodies are clean now too.
