Early?

Each wednesday morning the Lafrowda fire alarm is tested.

This morning was wednesday morning. Or was it? The alarm sounded for 3, 4, 5 seconds... 8... 15... it didn't stop!

(You know what thought is like early in the morning, after having written an hebdomadal post only six hours before. Slow:)

"So then it isn't wednesday after all. It must be thursday.
...
There's a fire alarm ringing.
...
Maybe it's a drill.
...
O maybe there's a fire.
...
Right.
...
Let's get into some shoes.
Er...
Close the window.
Er...
Switch off the light again.
Er...
Get my coat and keys.
Er...
Leave my room. Close the door. No, lock it. 'Oh, hey: up already, too?' 'Good morning!' 'Right.'

I was happy to find that our room numbers were ticked off at the exit. Well done 'Hospitality' Services!

Oh and yes: it was just a drill after all.

And lecture turned out to be cancelled.

But hey: that gives me some time to tell you how I have gotten up very early this morning in order to do nothing (i.e. telling you how I have gotten up ... etc.).
