Some Days are Diamonds



Some days everything just goes right. You get up with a jump and the sun is shining through the curtains. You put the clothes on the line and it doesn't rain on them all day. You wash some windows while the porridge is cooking but you don't get carried away and the pog is still unburnt when you remember it is on. You walk briskly to work and even though you are late, there is a hold-up, so no-one notices. The computer room is double booked but another is found for you in the music school. The sound of loud insistent drumming from the next room prevents you from doing your own project, but allows you to help a student colleague set up in blogging, much to her excitement. When the drumming stops, you have a great idea for a business card and discover a new cool font to use too. And when you get back to class you find the assignments are back, marked and you've got a good grade. What a wonderful day!

  4. It was my day Robert. Just toying with a new style of writing... Seeing what it feels like. I suspect I am the last generation to feel guilt at not using 'one'. So this is a parody too...
    Ah, so many 'shoulds', so little life.
