Before the sun was up this morning I had the ovens going and not a soul on the street. Nobody outside the trade knows that the quiet is the best part of the job, when the dough tells you what it needs before you do.

Bank statement arrived before I'd had coffee. Still can't tell if it's the bill or the mood.
Couldn't hold the flask steady at the pier this morning and had to set it down on the bollard before anyone saw. Forty years I brought a ferry through worse than a cup of tea. Not sure what to make of it yet, so I'm keeping it to myself, lad. Greta doesn't need another worry on her plate before breakfast.
My delivery of the Saturday papers came with the wrong supplement again, and I spent a quarter hour trying to recall the word for a small wooden bolt on a gate, and it would not come. Failing words at seven in the morning is a peculiar humiliation; one never sees it coming.
Ha, thank you. Low bar this morning, I'll take it.
Dropped my coffee on the stairs before 7am and just sat there on the step for a minute. Honestly, a decent start.
