The fading weekend: Contemplating. Swiping through the pictures of the day, drawing routes into a mental map. Window opened wide, even the night unsure whether to remain late summer or early autumn, clouds obscuring stars and veiling the distance spanning across river and park and the roofs. Here again, as a point in time relating to a very certain mood. The neighbourhood still clings to the moment, a glass of wine somewhere, a fire in the backyards, a dinner near an open terrace door and trying to still keep the morning away. Sleep tight once you're ready for it, wherever you are.

Kristian<p>9am and on. Pondering ideas to give a shape to this day. Not really convinced of anything, and torn between moving slow without goal and purpose - and giving meaning to each single hour. Still no sun.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=sundays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sundays</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Hinter der nächsten Dämmerung: Einmal mehr den Sonntag begrüßen, jetzt ernsthafter. Warten auf die Kirchglocken, während die Höfe zum frühen Leben erwachen. Teller, Tasse, Messer, nebenan hustet die Kaffeemaschine und anscheinend sind auch diese Nachbarn zurück aus dem Sommer. Das Dorf ist fern gerade, und vieles Gestern auch. Man lässt den Rückblick fallen, weil er sich unwirklich und verstörend anfühlt, und hofft auf die Linderung des neuen Tages. Habt es mild heute.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=sunday+mornings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sunday mornings</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=waking+to+the+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>waking to the day</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>A lot later. The city and the night. Some light in some windows, some guests arriving late, some leaving early. Neon sidewalks, teenagers drinking in front of the pub and uncounted conversations escaping into the starless void. Dim kitchen. A cup of cold tea. Trying to catch up with oneself, unsure where to meet. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>later that day</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=saturdays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>saturdays</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Warteschlange in Nebenstraßen. Der Weg in die Stadt zurück, schwerer als sonst. Goldener Schimmer des sich auflösenden Tages auf dichtem Laub, dahinter ein blassblauer Himmel. Keine Musik. Eine Hand voll heller Momente vor der Dämmerung. Gedankenlos und dahintreibend.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=returning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>returning</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=evening+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evening hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>3pm and on, and that lack of mental breath after a long motionless run. Watching others repeating shared experiences, relearning things already learnt before. Indifferently numb. The brightness of the day like behind a veil. Attention slowly derailed. Focusing on on mere body mechanics. Outlining horizons with eye and mind.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=moving+on+moving+fast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moving on moving fast</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Die Entscheidungshoheit des Aprilwetters legte den nächsten durchdringenden Schauer in jenes kurze Zeitfenster zwischen den täglichen Bausteinen, das einem Besuch des unüberdachten Teils der Welt gewidmet sein sollte. Nasse Hose, nasse Schuhe. Missmut. Erwägungen zu Protokollen und Kommunikation angesichts des neuen Bediensteten, der behende die Artikel über die Kasse im Supermarkt des geringsten Misstrauens zieht, unverbindlich lächelt und vor allem die korrekten Formeln für Gruß und Verabschiedung in unvertrauter Abfolgə intoniert. Verheddert in den eigenen Antworten, Schritte vor die Tür, Eile zurück zu den eigenen Räumen. (Nächster Kaffee, nächster Call. Und eine weiche Sonne hoch im Grau.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=sdgm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sdgm</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Black box engineering, in between meetings: Changing parameters, watching outcomes change at least for a few cases. Shrug. Repeat. As systematic and structured as it gets, and with the difficult assumption of deterministic behaviour. A bad vibe in everything. More coffee, blinking in sunlight, unaware even of the current hour.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Still mornings, switching to different kinds of liquids to get the voice and the mind through the day. A neighbour across the street, wiping water off his tiny balcony. City traffic. Others peoples public phone call in the backyard, too many details. Electronic letters piling up. Some seemingly had quite a long trip. Due dates and expected outcomes not yet aligned. That kind of tasks.</p><p>📷 lost-in-moments</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=lost+in+moments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lost in moments</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Hallo, August: Freitagmorgen, ungewaschen, zerklüftete Stundengebirge, halbdurchsichtige Geisterträume. Die Eigenwelt des frühen Tages, wenn die Gedanken ihren Reigen zu tanzen beginnen und die inneren Schilde alle noch heruntergefahren sind. Die Vögel klingen rauher als sonst, das Wasser wird nicht warm, man stolpert über die Neuordnungen des Vorabends und fragt sich, welche Schlüsse man zwei Dämmerungen vorher gezogen hat. Sucht im Kühlschrank nach der passenden Marmelade. Gießt den Kaffee auf, wünscht sich ein altmodisches Klemmbrett für Liste, die der Woche noch gehört, samt dickem Stift zum Abhaken. Oder Streichen. Je nachdem. Schneller Puls unter rasenden Wolken. Neuer Regen. Habt es mild heute.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=the+waking+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>the waking hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=always+in++between" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>always in between</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Finally: Challenging ones own perception by trying to recall everything that used to be of importance ever since leaving the first half of the day. And failing, as expected. Wondering whether to pick up that red thread and walk all the way back, but then letting things fade into the unknown past isn't too bad either. No guitar players, no candles tonight, most of the windows closed and most of the street like in a mode of early night. Even though it's already too late for that. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day+later+that+night" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>later that day later that night</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=always+in++between" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>always in between</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Dann glänzt unmotivierte Sonne auf großen schmutzigen Pfützen. Eine Querstraße weiter wird noch einmal der rostige alte Bus bepackt: Wasserball, Luftmatratzen, Körbe mit Kleidung und Lebensmitteln. Im Supermarkt des geringsten Misstrauens herrscht vertraute Leere vor dem späten Ansturm, der Praktikant an der Kasse zittert bei jedem Handgriff so sehr, dass man ihn gar nicht auf gewisse andere Fragen ansprechen möchte. Rabattkartenwerbung, seichte Musik. Und Maschinenstreik. Die Wochen zählt man nicht mehr.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=sdgm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sdgm</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=afternoon+deviations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>afternoon deviations</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm and on. One more change of lights, beat, mood. Listening to the storm playing with whatever it could get hold of, in the streets, before closing the window and silencing the afternoon. Missing micro breaks, decaffeinated and somewhat drained again. Disconnecting from routines, searching for new words that feel less worn-off.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+afternoon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>later that afternoon</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Mittag entlang kurvenreicher Strecke. Mentaler Slalom, einige Schikanen gut genommen, andere nicht. Sommergraue Minuten. Vor der Kneipe wackeln Sonnenschirme im Wind, offenbaren dann und wann die Bauarbeiter, die ihre Pause an den staubigen Tischen darunter verbringen, das Tagwerk immer in Blickweite. Verbindungsversuche, unstete Netzwerke, verzerrte Daten und die Herausforderungen, Ordnung zu schaffen. Hektisch, angespannt, nervös. Sinnieren über Dosierungen und Abgrenzungen. Zu viel. Zu wenig. Aber scheinbar nie passend.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=summer+moves+on" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>summer moves on</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>8am and on, somewhere in between morning and noon somewhere like out on wide field, looking for directions still. Homes, offices and neighbours waking up to breakfast and tea. A group of young women heading for the river, following a crowd of screaming and laughing kids. Too many individual stories of mornings under a pale hidden sun.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=home+office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>home office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Unterwegs im frühen Morgen und seinen dunkleren Ecken. Noch ohne Kaffee, ohne Karte, Kompass oder Wegweiser. Richtung als Ahnung, bestenfalls. Also streift man sich den neuen Tag über, streckt und dehnt sich und wartet, dass er aufhört zu spannen und zu kratzen. Der Kühlschrank wirkt lauter als sonst, unten werden harte Räder über die Steine gezogen und dem Ohr bleibt verborgen, ob Rollkoffer oder Mülltonnen ihren Aufenthaltsort wechseln. Eine Motte an der Lampe, ein Flattern hinter der Fensterscheibe, Taubenstreit und distanzierte Krähen. Selbstwerdung vor dem Sonnenaufgang. Habt es mild heute!)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=the+waking+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>the waking hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=half+awake+half+asleep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>half awake half asleep</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Closing in on 10pm and listening to the fading, dissonant melodies of a filled long day. Too, someone is playing a guitar somewhere in the streets, once again, and it seems like practising beyond scales, practising that's achieving some result. (Lighting a candle. Leaving a concluding remark before flipping this page. Taking a deep breath, keeping air to oneself for a moment to counter the sensation of world spinning too fast. And waiting for some rest in all that. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.)</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=later+that+day+later+that+night" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>later that day later that night</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+are+we+are" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we are we are</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>Abendrituale, diesselben Orte in beiden Enden des Tages. Anderes Programm, unten plappert eine Fernsehstation vor sich hin. Tischklänge dazwischen. Und der Rauch einer Zigarette von nebenan. Es bleibt: Aufräumen. Auf mehrere Arten.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=evening+musings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evening musings</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>4pm and on with the flow the traffic the city the trains and the wind. Clouds behind, clouds ahead, keeping close to the river and the meadows and just a bit below the trees. Narrow view, narrow mind, different kind of tunnel. Headphones. Not the perfect choice of music, but there's always a trade-off. Keeping the pace.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=afternoon+deviations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>afternoon deviations</span></a></p>
Kristian<p>10am and fast paced motion. Plans revisited, deadlines postponed, boxes put into a new order. Which doesn't keep things from piling up but at least helps getting a rough idea of all the things immediately ahead.</p><p><a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=outerworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>outerworld</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=office+hours" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>office hours</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=concrete+city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concrete city</span></a> <a href="https://loma.ml/search?tag=where+we+do+what+we+do" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>where we do what we do</span></a></p>
