Monday, Monday

A lovely morning, somewhat spoilt by (a) not being able to find PDA -- thus limiting portable reading material to a single book, and (b) Southern Trains having a new Train Status. Not only do we now have 'on time' and 'running late' and 'delayed' and 'cancelled': this morning's 8:26 was 'Reported Full and Standing'.

So no change there.

I did expect it to be worse than usual, given that they thought it necessary to post this description on the departure board, but it was pretty typical.

Is it too early to do positive things?

1. A comment on my book-blog! That makes two this year!
2. Turns out it's feasible to order a book for delivery to The Back of Beyond, New Zealand on a Wednesday and have it arrive on the Monday.
3. Sunny: shall go for a walk in a minute, and try to rid myself of rotten mood.

positive things for Monday

I know I already did this, sort of: but still.

1. Order on Wednesday, deliver on Monday: Abebooks facilitating literacy in The Back Of Beyond, South Island, New Zealand.
2. Comments on my book blog! For the second time this year!
3. On Mars, on Mars, on Mars, on Mars, on Mars. Enough to make me rummage around in the loft for my Mars trilogy.
