Newton's Tuesday

Well hello there! Do come in, you must be freezing! I would of wrapped up a little warmer if I was you. Or at least put something on. Still, do grab a pew and make yourself comfortable. Here, let me get you a blanket, and maybe a soft towel. Would you like a vigorous rub down before we start at all? . . . No!? Ah well, maybe later then.

Well it's true what they say isn't it, 'into every life a little rain must fall' and today it seems it's choosing ours. Yes my collective group of dazzling gems, it is . . . 'The Tuesday', and almost as if to ram the point home, it's also raining. It's cold, it's grey, it's miserable and it's wet, which are ideal key points if you're writing a lovely story about a young reluctant elephant who doesn't like taking his bath in the jungle pool because it's just not warm enough. But not such great points in real life, when all you're facing is just another average day, particularly when your facing THE MOST average of all the days, and looking up at the wrong end of a 'The Tuesday'.

Still, I suppose if days like 'The Tuesday' didn't exist then days like 'The Blessed Friday' wouldn't seem as bottom spankingly awesome. I guess it all comes down to having a little light and shade in our lives. To properly appreciate the finer things, we have to first experience the other end of the spectrum as well. It was Isaac Newton who said, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" and he was a smart man who knew exactly what he was talking about, although I doubt he had a 'The Tuesday' and a 'The Blessed Friday' in his mind when he said it.

So I guess we should really be thankful for this worn out gusset of a day, we should welcome the dreariness, and cheer it's laborious nature. For without it a Friday wouldn't seem so good. So, with all good intentions I wish all of you, a dull and lacklustre day.
