Alarm. 5.15am.
This is way too early.
No, I do love the mornings, not just so early ones.
Eyes open. Get dressed.
Breakfast - No. Too early.
Crab a cup of coffeé. Run out the flat to catch the train.
Fresh air. No sunlight as always. It is Aberdeen. But something inside this air makes me feel fresh. There is like something saying to me "Good morning!" Yes I do love mornings. They remind me Balys. Just sunlight and cigarettes are missing.
The train station looks sleepy. Everything seems to be moving slow. Like there is still lots of dream-dust on people. It makes me feel sleep again.
I'm looking at train times. My train arrives 7.52.

It is 7.15. Early- again.
I sat on a bench and start looking at people: business men with suitcases, women in every ages. Why they asre in such a hurry but moving so slow? May be it´s just me.

Older women with lots of bags and two 7 to 9 years old children. Children look so tired. They are leaning on their mum.
Hmm...think the train arrived. Going through the gates to train. Coach G seat 2A. Yes next to window. Good night!
“Excuse me, is this seat taken? “
There is a man in his 70 may be even 80 standing next to my bench. I'm looking at him and trying to understand what he just said?

“No no, ye you cans sit here.”
“No no, ye you cans sit here.”
I move my thing bit more together so he could fit next to me.
“What the wonderful weather isn't it?”
I'm looking out of the window and realise it is sunny again. (obviously we need to be out of Scotland )
“Yes it is.”
“ I apologise I woke you up ...So where do you travel from?”

“ I apologise I woke you up ...So where do you travel from?”
“Aberdeen.”
From there on he told me a lots of thing about Aberdeen he knew and kept asking about all the places you can ski. I think he thinks I am from there. Not sure how should I bring it up that I'm not Scottish?
“I have been to Aberdeen just a week I don't know this place really well.”
“Ou, I see. Where you from then?”
“Estonia.”
“So you are not Scottish? Got me fooled then.“
Not sure how to react for that sentence, so I just smile.
We passed a beautiful town, cant remember the name.

He suddenly starts to talk about churches in that town. Also about god.
From that on my history lesson started. In Lincoln there is cathedral which is one of he most English English cathedrals. (not sure what that means)
He talked about people I have never heard, of places I should know but unfortunately don't have a slightest idea.
He talked about his life. And how friends around him are dying because of ages.
Every word he said sounded like it comes with a bigger story behind it. If I looked into his eyes you could see that his is not with me. He is in that place he is talking about. Sometimes I saw a tear in his eye.

"I'm not religious"
"It is sad, it is very sad, because there is a god."
I found it better not to argue with him.
Next stop : Newark
"That is me.
"Ou. Well nice to meet you darling. And deficiently go to those places. Hope you will find god one day."
"Nice to meet you too, Good bye."
