1 pm
I am still in bed. I turn my head to the right, to the front opening one eye, and to the left.
If I work till 5 am, I am only half awake at 1 pm.

2 pm
My house mate and me in the kitchen talking, I am standing at the sink, he ist standing to the left. My house mate is leaving. I put the kettle on for tea.

3 pm
I am sitting at the kitchen table with tea, drawing – catching up on hourlies.

4 pm
In front of the apartment building, unloading groceries from doing the shopping by bike. Two bicycle bags and a bag-pack full of food.

5 pm
Three of us at the table, a potted plant in the background – kitchen banter.

6 pm
sketching and posting, still at the table drawing, with the tea pot in front of me, then looking at my mobile phone and my social media accounts

7 pm
At my apartment door hugging my girl friend. She is waiting while I am in another room.
Her: are you coming.
Me: there in a sec!

8 pm
We are waiting at the bus stop for the 85 ring bus, then it arrives.

9 pm
Both of us at a table sharing a chili sin carne from the soup kitchen. In the back a sign calling attention to the next event in German: Eine ehrenwerte Familie. The name of the place: Kafe Marat is written on the wall.

10 pm
On a stage a bearded guy is reading from a book, behind him a screen showing images, and at the side the text: reading with Kutlu Yurtseven from Microphone Mafia.

11 pm
The same guy with a microphone on stage singing in front of an excited crowd, text in German dialect: Wann jeiht dr himmel widder op.

12 pm
Two people arm in arm are walking over a stone bridge with old fashioned lanterns: strolling instead
of the bus.

1 am
Both of us in front of a share mirror brushing our teeth. A close up of the brushes in a cup and the text: good night.
