Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

I just hate everything about the new Andrex adverts.

That "kindle" ad. where the dog licks the notebook thingy really gets my goat.

For the first time this week, I don't have to attend a meeting.

I don't have to sit in a windowless room talking to people I don't want to talk to.

I do however have to do some donkey work, i.e. engage muscles, switch brain to "Muse" setting.

Lovely.

Those can be some of the best kinds of days.  Great feeling at the end of it when you can look around and see all you've accomplished. 

Days spent in meeting would do me head in.  Round and round discussing problems everyone says they noticed first, yet nobody can agree on the best way to rectify the situation.  Nothing accomplished. 

Yep...give me the donkey work any day of the week.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

I used to wonder where the sun went at night. Then, early one morning, it dawned on me.....

I was walking through the park wondering why that Frisbee seemed to be getting bigger and then it hit me.

If you ever find yourself becoming a little blasé about life, or lose your sense of wonder, try spending the wee small hours sitting in your car with the window rolled down, a few cheese sandwiches and a huge flask of tea by your side, waiting for a mare to foal.

Somehow, she will delay the birth until that last hour before dawn, when the the night is at it's darkest. When the cold, and the drama are at their most intense.

As the first rays of light and warmth spill over the horizon, watch in amazement as a gangly bundle of new life somehow manages to gather an unruly collection of bar-stool legs beneath him and stand for the very first time.

Notice how well the still air carries the sound of the mare's contented whicker as she shifts her weight from one back foot to the other, letting her milk flow down into the udder that her foal has found in spite if the fact that he is barely able to control his limbs. 

Watch spellbound as the sun rises in the sky, quickly drying the dew from the grass, and the last of the birth fluids from the foals coat, leaving him fluffy and adorable like a child's toy.

Climb out of your car to ease your cramped bones, and spend a moment in awe of what is probably the greatest miracle in the universe.

The miracle of new life.

I have recently developed a gammy arm. I have dognosed myself. It's tennis elbow.

I have discovered some other activities that this malady could have been named after......

Was that determined about the time you discovered just how much donkey work you had lined up for today?
