six in the evening

 There were no collapses today, despite having to get up early to feed the cat. Lay down and took regular rests, but it was possible to do a bit of work and to keep on functioning well. The dizziness took a break today as well.

The early awakening meant that there was time to check the bins. By looking out of the window see that the neighbours all had their bins out on the street, today appears to be the day for the collection of the yellow bags (used packaging) and the bins containing general rubbish. Carry the bins out wearing slippers and a dressing gown, if any of the neighbours notice it will give them something to talk about.

The sound of the huge dump trucks makes the room reverberate as first the one for the yellow bags arrives, and then later the trucks for the general waste bins. The general waste bins is where the used cat litter goes.

Go shopping, walking through town is fun for a change. Return with the big bag of things, buy some better cheese today. The only eggs available are the best biological fancy free range eggs. Now we will see if they taste any better than the cheaper battery eggs.     

Vacuum the floor in the flat, and then leave for the studio. On the way buy some black cardboard in what is now a general store, selling mainly cosmetics.

Arrive at the studio, pack away the cardboard and start searching for the storage card for the camera. It is not where it is expected to be, in fact it is missing.

Sit down and relax with a bottle of beer. Then search again, without success.

Return home and find another card, this one will have to do.

Hear the wife stamping around in the passageway, this goes on for a while and then she leaves the house. The cat calls at the door, let her in and give her a bite to eat.

No more than a little, yesterday was an example of what happens when the small greedy animal overeats.

Sit down and write these notes. It is now six in the evening
