The morning worked well today, after yesterdays very quiet night. The kitchen was a mess, the son has not learned how to clear things up after himself. But using a small clearing in between all of the dirty pots and pans and the used crockery it was possible to make an acceptable breakfast. Reading the news and eating is the one regular pleasure of the day.
The news is of the democratic congress in America. Trump has vanished from sight, this is unusual. But then, there are novelties and the news media are fickle.
It was possible to take the first walk today after a long period of depression. Walked up to those Rhea birds, they were attentive. The big male birds have gone, maybe they had become too aggressive.
At the café at the end of the walk there was a young woman serving who was in training. There was an officious woman taking care that she did everything correctly on this her first day. This woman had eyelashes that had been artificially lengthened, they were long sooty and black. They did not look particularly good, but she must have paid a lot of money to have them made up in that way.
The café had a verandah, and there were two fat men talking to each other in broken German. The one was Italian and the other Moroccan. They both smoked profusely. The stay at that cafe was not pleasant.
During the rest of the walk by the river think about those two. The one was a cook and the other a gangster. The gangster part became obvious during a long telephone conversation that he had in English, assuming that nobody could understand him. He was wrong, and his behaviour on the phone does not bear repeating.
At home, realise that the dishwasher has not been filled as promised. The son had said that he wanted to do this, but he did not. Leave the mess be, there is no help for it, it is all madness
