Monday morning here again! How did it get here so quickly. Feels like it was Friday evening just a few minutes ago, with the weekend lying dreamily in front of me. It's hard to believe that there are still 2 months worth of days getting shorter to contend with. It already feels that daylight is just the thinly spread filling between two thick slices of darkness!
At the Children's Centre on Friday a group of 3 year olds walked proudly into our office. They had been given the head teacher's old laptop to take apart and were carrying it carefully, screwdriver's in their other hands.
"Look!", they shouted triumphantly, " we fixed it!" And opening the lid of the laptop, we all watched as keys, circuit boards and bits of wire scattered all over the floor. Looking gleefully at the other computers in the office, they advanced, screwdrivers ready, saying " can we fix these now!"
Did a car boot sale yesterday. The sky was blue, the sun was ( unusually ) shining and my two nephews were helping me, full of enthusiasm and special offers for anyone brave enough to touch anything on our table. A whole car park full of the unwanted clutter of so many lives. I was wondering what would happen if everyone was told they had to have a car boot sale and could only keep 7 objects from their lives. What would they be? Cuddly toys, chipped cups, baby clothes, unused fondue sets, old mobile phones? A new version of Desert Island Discs called Can't Live Without It!
The shoes of the day are waiting to be slipped on! Here goes Monday.
