cold internal

 The cold causes its own misery, and the body does not react well to the cold, it reacts with a sense of fear.

It was late this morning and getting up was not easy. Downstairs the wife was to be heard working in the kitchen. Go back upstairs, and decide to go out for a cup of coffee. There was a friendly lady at the next table who, upon  leaving, started a conversation about her health. She apologised for not having started a conversation earlier.

This was nice of her.

When she had finished talking about herself, she left.

Finished the coffee in peace.

Walked about the town, the cold gnawing at the bones and freezing the arms. It is not that cold really, but it has become difficult to deal with it. Go to the Thai place and have a bowl of soup. The cold feeling gets worse, it is now accompanied by a sense of drowsiness. Go home, lie down on the bed.

Awake again, realise that the whole body feels icy now. Crawl under the covers, hide from the cold and fall asleep.

There can be no idea of what is wrong. This constant tiredness is a nuisance. It is now five o'clock in the evening, things are not better, but sleep has ended. There is a message and a letter to be dealt with.

The cold is miserable.
