5 things I enjoyed on Monday
It was 10, but the day isnt finished yet...
1) Walking through the human maze and confusion that is Waterloo overland station, while humming “Eye of the tiger”. Have you ever seen such a mass of headless chicken run around, stop in the middle, look up for some direction of where to go in their lives…in this case, platform 6 at 9.13am. However do not like the “walk and stop without indicating “ people. The frenzy is a lovely wake up call to a Monday morning under a thick grey dullness.
2) My imagination – today I sat in the office, imagining what would have happened if I said “yes” to my current job at the wee old age of 21, rather than 23…two years of my life? What would have I done. Although the Japanese would have lost out on a such a “productive” individual as myself, I would have been well into my qualification and possibly on the verge of an arranged marriage. I probably wouldn’t have ended commuting between flat, home and girl..stepping over a bicycle in the morning and tip toeing on a cold plastic wooden floor, I probably wouldn’t b e able to say “hello how are you” in Japanese and thus greatly impressing the colleagues I work with
3) My sandwich – simplicity at its best. Ham, cheese, salad…with white bread. Tender and finished in a handful of bites. Already looking forward to next days surprise
4) Looking at my pictures on my mobile of last weekends activities. No gossip caught on camera and no photographic genius here, but still, a weekend of fun caught and filed! Somehow I spent the best part of 20 minutes looking over 15 pictures. Living in the past has always been my weakness
5) Looking forward to getting on the tube and reading my current book “the shackled continent.” It is really alarming that when you are reading something, or do something a bit unique, you start to notice more of “it”. ie, Never looked at an oriental before…now I feel like the British ambassador to all people with paler faces and smaller eyes…Now this is the first time I have read about Africa and suddenly two movies on African issues are being shown. Coincidence? I think not… I feel like this is the “Amit Show”
