Hump Day

This evening I had a lovely meal with my friends Ali and Steve. It was a welcoming chance to relax after a typical 'Hump Day' of niggles and annoyances.

The day began with a two hour visit from BT to repair a long standing issue with the landline and broadband. After fighting my corner and standing up for my consumer rights I finally got a resolution. The challenge now is to fight for compensation for 18 months of unreliable service.

I'm a great believer in standing my ground and putting across my case, sometimes to the point of ruffling feathers a bit too much, but I've never been one to be quiet for the sake of keeping the peace.

This evening, while trying to photograph Ali's gorgeous Burmese cat Tori I am reminded of that phrase "Mary, Mary, quite contrary how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row!"

So today I might have been a bit contrary, just a little bit, but better than being boring, don't you agree?

NB Since publishing this post I've discovered my landline is down again. So the debacle continues...
