21/1

I took the chart down tonight. The tape came away easily, like it wanted to.

Under the kitchen light the 21/1 row is just the circle. A small one, drawn round twice.

I put my carpenter's pencil next to it on the table. It's the same grey, the same flat line. I suppose every carpenter's pencil in Norway makes that line. I didn't draw anything.

The oven is still blinking 00:00.

Today it'll be up for longer. Kjell says a few minutes more every day from now on.

I've set an alarm for eleven. The phone's on the table, face up, where I can see it.
