machine time

 A day spent serving the computer, a day spent without any internet. It is not a particularly great day, the infection that is a cold is spreading, and it will accompany the body to the doctor tomorrow.

In the morning there was little trouble, the non functioning internet was not noticed, breakfast was eaten as usual. It is the most important meal of the day.

A small excursion to a bakery, and a disaster with a dropped roll. It was not so bad, they just handed over another one. A service for regulars, they will allow a small mishap sometime. The young girl behind the counter is new on the job, she had left the food on the curved glass counter. Too bad, this is  such a waste.

Try to ring up the son during the early afternoon, but he is busy. Work all day trying to put the pictures together for the small book that is to be made. Life is strange without a functioning internet.

Eventually the son rings back, and it is such a nice conversation. He discovers the fault on the router, it is easy to fix. He is a long way away, in Bayreuth, and still it is as if he was at the local machine.

Finish setting up the pages, and now it is eight minutes to midnight.
