Sounds like the title of a movie……..LOL. It refers to some of the days in the life of one Shirley Anne. I am very sure that I am not alone in this but I find many of my days are good, bad or plain ugly! I have good days, I have not so good days and I have days when I think to myself, ‘Why did I get up’? I thought today was going to be one of those ugly days but as it turned out it was quite the opposite. I had a rather awkward and testing job in prospect which I knew would challenge my knowledge and investigative skills to find a solution. I didn’t fancy the idea but I put that down to a lack of confidence in my ability. You would think that after 47 years in the ‘business’ at it were, confidence would not be an issue. I suppose we all have moments like this however but we get through them. I set off in a cheerfully optimistic mood which set the day straight. In the event I had no difficulty at all in solving the problem and after a couple of hours everything was back in order. I returned home got changed and went out for a meal with my ex.. We travelled a few miles out of town to a place we’d often passed but never went in. Today we arrived to find it closed for the day! We decided to back-track a mile or so to another unassuming little pub/restaurant which we also had not visited before. It turned out to be larger than we’d thought. The place was almost empty though and we had only minutes to spare before they ceased serving lunch. As it turned out the meal was excellent and very inexpensive too which was a nice surprise. Afterwards we visited a local liquor store and bought some, well, liquor! I was then dropped off at my local pub to spend a couple of hours. I met up with people I hadn’t seen for a while and had a really nice time there. I went home around 7.30 and relaxed by a cosy fire, watched tv, wrote this, visited other blogs and played some guitar before the sandman came to stay the night. The good, the bad and the ugly day turned out to be all good. I think it is all a matter of mindset. We can make the most of our situations or just moan about them and have a lousy time. I know which way I prefer.
