murky

 The alarm on the mobile 'phone sounded, and got up in time to take the dentist's appointment. It is not far to the dentist, s five minutes walk. Pass the smart café with people there ostentatiously reading newspapers and holding serious conversations. All the people there are very well dressed indeed.

Upstairs in the practice, feel that things have changed. It is an atmospheric change. The daughter of the founder has slowly taken over. Perhaps it will be impossible to go here in future, there is the impression that things will get expensive.

This impression is confirmed as soon as the extra costs for a filling are mentioned by the young Frau Doktor,


After this is over, take the car to the building suppliers and buy some sandpaper for the sanding machine. Sandpaper is wildly expensive now. Take the paper and the machine to the artist's studio and leave it there. Have a short conversation with the saxophone player and then leave.

Take the car back and find that there are no parking spots available any more. Take a circuit and find one elsewhere. It is now almost three hours since the dentist. Go to the small café and have a cup of coffee.

In the afternoon the son comes down, and we go to the café again.

Later, make a test on the printer and discover why the dark tones in the prints came up so murky.
