Monday

It was hard to acknowledge at 3pm this afternoon that the highlights of my Monday consisted of a visit from the plumber to renew a washer in the cistern, a walk in the rain and a flaunting of old bones in front of a gym full of young and beautiful 20 somethings. Oh, and the added highlight of a lunch consisting of fat free cottage cheese, not even with added chives.

However things took a turn for the better when my friend ofmts currently residing in the Emerald Isle phoned this afternoon. In the past she has forgotten it was a Monday phone day, but today it was my turn to forget and wonder who was calling the house phone. It was a relief to hear her dulcet tones and not the silence that precedes a cold call.
Having exchanged gossip and put the world to rights, I feel that this Monday has turned itself around after all.
