9/1 Second day alone. Another run on the bridge, back and forth, my third altogether. It is nothing but straight ahead, 3.2 miles, and you can see exactly where you are going. A point you will reach in 1 minute or in 10 minutes doesn’t look very different. I like this minimalism. On the way back, East to West, I run into the sun. – Also, figured out how the cat feeder works. The model has apparently been discontinued, it only sells in some South American markets now. And there is no manual online. Yet there’s a basic digital literacy that I acquired in the seventies and eighties, an instinct about pressing buttons long or short which will get you there. J is amused by it, I am so German about it, because she will just let the feeder run at its default settings, the clock in no relation to the actual time, and the feeding intervals at whatever the machine starts out with.
