- Wake up. Get up. The barest minimum of clothes to get to the kitchen – don’t scare the neighbours. Kettle on. Sit and wait with your head in your hands. Shaking. Pounding. Coffee and then back to bed.
- Planned. Organised. Nice jumper and jeans, handbag, keys. Meet at the Café at 10:00. A reassuring hug to reacquaint yourselves before sitting, catching up over steaming mugs. This is comfortable, cosy and casual. There’s always time for another.
- Up and out. Rushed. Did you remember your keys? A mask? Burn your mouth and feel the sudden buzz.
- Shall we? We consider. Ponder. Why not? Everyone deserves a break to relax, to talk. We sit on the steps and warm our hands around paper cups. Watching the world go by.
- Outside in the sun. Did you really want a hot drink?
