somebody to talk to

 The day started with an unplanned awakening at four in the morning. The tiny hotel room is equipped with all ensuite comforts, it makes relief more pleasant if there are no stairs to climb beforehand.

At this point realise that the door to the toilet in the room will not close. It has jammed in its frame. It is better that it will not close than than that it is not to be opened. Just hypothetical, this is only a nasty thought.

The light switches in the room are in all the most unlikely places.

Look for any news on the internet. The wireless connection in the hotel is glacial. It is so slow that it is possible to fall asleep whilst waiting for the connection. Upon awakening, go back to bed.


Today is the day of the wedding party with the symbolic ceremony. Why these has to be done this way is unclear, the ceremony yesterday was pleasant in its somber official surroundings. 

But now a restaurant has been rented and an imitation ceremony will take place in the garden, with all kinds of memorabilia from the lives of the happy couple on show, all the friends will do their best to make the day memorable . Chairs have been arranged in the garden, out on the lawn, just like in a church, out under the baking sun.

The morning breakfast in the hotel was great in variety, and a long conversation was had with the friend who is staying in the establishment too.
