Yes, Monday has returned…..just wondering what is in store for me this week.
Last week was a week of contrasts – Little things had me thinking about how they often grow into Large things. Or how you’re expecting Large but they turn out to be Little
What we didn’t anticipate was that the large cold front that ‘swept across’ the southern states would make itself known all the way up to east coast. Rather low overnight temps – down to 6c/42f – meant those large (warm) winter clothes worn on the way up but now tucked away in cabins and caravans were given unexpected early morning airings.
When we had the ‘will you use it’ convo before leaving home I gave a ‘well you never know, hope for the best- prepare for the worst’ answer when The Golfer saw the hot water bottle. Guess who was filling the kettle before bedtime….his toes were cold 😊
One of those contrasting moments was seeing the turn of the tide one morning with little or no movement- a very calm sea compared to an earlier one the week before
A unexpected trip to the chiropractor for what I thought might be a big drawn out affair turned out to be a little thing. After some gentle but forceful movements and a reminder to do the exercises and stretches….yes, I know the ones you mean…..I can now walk reasonably comfortably . Sciatica making itself known again is a PITA – figuratively as well as physically!
Down by the harbour I saw the funny side of these little boats wanting to be like the big ones.

Then I couldn’t believe my eyes when this cyclist rode by…
Trailing a very little dog behind her……
Walking the dog this way isn’t new – we’ve all heard of it, laughed at the idea, maybe even seen it before. Not like this though.
Usually with a whopping great dog who loves the exercise….
That poor little dog’s legs are going ten to the dozen trying to keep up with the big bicycle wheels. The owner would probably tell us to mind our own business. He/She’s used to it, done it many times before
But somehow it just didn’t seem fair…
And what didn’t seem fair to The Golfer was that my lunch appeared to be larger than his.
’But my fish is smaller than yours’ he said, ‘plus you got more chips’
‘That’s what you get for trying to appear healthy by ordering grilled fish’.
There wasn’t that much fish under the batter and most of his portion of chips was hiding beneath his grilled fish.
I’ve always been on the opinion that Monday is a day for thinking- forget the traditional idea it’s a day for washing- it’s a day for looking the week ahead in the face and saying “whatever you’ve got- little or large – throw it at me and I’ll see what I can do with it.
I was born on a Monday in a year when many ‘large’ things were being ‘thrown’ around so maybe that attitude comes from that
