Monday Reflections

Good morning to you all, and a 'very special' good morning to all those of you who, despite it being half term, still have to sneak quietly out the burrow to toil in the fields all day. Yes I fear, despite lot's of people taken a well earned rest over the coming week with their children, (Yeah right! Like half term with the kids is ever relaxing!!) Monday has pushed it's buttocks onto our faces, and has proudly broken wind once again.

Once again it seems, the weekend has passed us by, like the fleeting sound of the soft beating wings of a flock of starlings. Still, we've probably all learnt things over the weekend, as we normally do. This weekend for instance I've learnt that the self-scanning shopping experience at Waitrose isn't really that time saving. I've learnt that there is a new breed of Iguana from the Galapagos Islands that for reasons unknown to science is pink! I've also learnt that the smallest city in England is in fact The City of London. Plus, I've also learnt that "JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!" and of course if you decide to travel through the abandoned radioactive city of Chernobyl, you can do a lot worse than choose the Dacia Sandero.

Still, despite Monday's normal eruption, we can all feel slightly more relaxed about this coming week. For even if we are among those who will still be ferrying to and fro from our places of labor, the roads will be quieter and there will be an air of calm repose about the normal proceedings. Monday, much like the third pint on a night out, will pass through us relatively swiftly. It's a well known fact by now that Monday's, with all the feelings of dread that come with them, all seem to be a lot less painful than we initially feel they are going to be, and never seem to last very long.

So why not have yourself a good one! . . . Well okay, a relatively less painful one that you thought you might.
