Working week

The working week didn’t begin in tranquil fashion.

Some alarm linked to the electric security fence around the property where I stay has been malfunctioning for a while, periodically deafening us all. This time at 4.30am I went to investigate and the security guard reckoned the malfunctioning was due to rain.

At this same hour one of my downstairs neighbours was having a very loud party. Maybe they too couldn’t sleep through the alarm and decided to just embrace it.

One was very tired by evening time as one stumbled from the office through the backstreets.
