“A friend of mine used to say, ‘You cannot change the past, but every moment is an opportunity to change your future.”

We are having an indoor sort of day today. It’s grey and drizzly outside, with a moderate wind and temperature down around 4° C, so you can see why indoors seems good.
They say there’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing, but on a day like this I’d dispute that. The right clothes will keep you warm and dry, but it won’t necessarily cheer you up, and it’s cheerfulness that’s lacking on a day like this.
Inside we have a plentiful supply of good humour. We have been planning for December, making party invitations for the Christmas Party, practising belly dancing (not me!), rehearsing songs and making picture frames (by covering plain frames in pieces torn from paper napkins).
One of the group, who I will allow to remain anonymous, wrote some song lyrics on flip chart paper whilst it was on the floor. You know how permanent marker goes right through cheap paper and stains what is underneath? Well, it’s not a great problem when it goes through to another sheet of paper behind the first one. But if you are resting on the floor you end up with a hieroglyphic design on the floor, and that can be a problem. Julia has managed to remove most of it, but we now have a patch of very clean floor…
This afternoon we will be making pom-poms ready for wreath making.
I used to work for a market-leading company you know. Suit, briefcase, company car, expenses. I even had a Filofax once…
…and this afternoon I will be making pom-poms.
At least it’s not licence plates!
Yes, that’s true. 😉
Cover that clean patch, quickly, or there will be pressure to clean the rest
I’ll get on that right away (it’s looking almost luminous now you point it out). 🙂
Have fun making those pom-poms! Perhaps it would cheer me up if I had an afternoon of pom-pom making.
You can’t really be sad with a pom-pom, though it may make you question what has happened to your life…:-)
