I sat down on the couch, I said you can come now. before that is a daisy day. empty hands. oh what am I to do. the house was quite clean. so I spoke very quietly to you and you heard. and then the waves started lining up in rows. that evening was sunday and I was suspicious. 7.09 am Monday I wrote to Nic:
