The weather has become so cold that the car will not start. This does not matter much, other than that it has become impossible to move it to another parking spot for the short period during which the parking permit has to taken away to be removed.
The renewal is a strange process. Stand in front of the official building with twenty five Euros ready. Announce ones prescence using a mobile telephone. A clerk comes downstairs with the new parking permit and a reciept for the money. Return to the car and place the new parking permit in its place on the dashboard. The short lapse had gone unnoticed, there was no parking ticket tucked under the windscreen wiper.
Spend the afternoon in the studio, painting a white box with grey concrete and sharpening the blade on a new miniature plane.
