Ice forms at zero

 Awaken late out of pure laziness. Enjoying the comfort of a warm bed in an ice cold room. That is exaggerated,  it is not ice cold, it is four degrees centigrade. Ice forms at zero.

At nine in the morning, get out of bed, go downstairs, go to the bathroom and then make breakfast in the kitchen. There is only one egg available today, that will have to do.

Upstairs again, turn on the electric heater and have breakfast. Look up the news, such as it is. It has become apparent that Hungary can no longer keep up its fascist behaviour, it just went on too far and too long. Take all the pills that the doctor ordered, this is now almost a second breakfast.

Make the bed, tidy the room, put on day clothes, and take the used crockery back down to the kitchen.  The day clothes are underwear , a fresh blue hoody and black jeans. Two pairs of socks, as always in winter.  Once down in the kitchen, start to clear away the mess, clean the cooker, and wipe down the surfaces just a bit. This is mainly cleaning up the family mess, collating all the empty used containers for foodstuffs and sorting them for disposal. The cat is bored, and requires attention.

Upstairs, settle at the small table with a cup of coffee and write these notes.
