    Thursdays

    I suppose every day of the week has its own defining qualities.

    What is it about Thursdays? Always a good evening to go or listen to a concert.

    And wasn't late night shopping born on Thursdays ?

      I used to like it when This Week started upside down.

          Thursday always used to be early closing day here up until the 1980s and the place looked like a ghost town after 1pm.

          Friday is definitely my favourite day for going to a concert.

          I hate Mondays!

                As a retiree, I find it's the best day for my weekly grocery shopping. The Big Issue is still only 2 days old.

                    The weather forecast now looks ahead with reasonable accuracy to the weekend.

                        And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected

                          For me, a great relief after Wednesday.

                          Allow me to quote from one of my scribblings from 30 years ago ...

                          Wednesday, I thought, Bloody Wednesday! Why is it that nothing good has ever happened to me on a Wednesday?

                          I know! We'll have a six day week, sixty one weeks a year and drop a week every eighth year! Never mind about the moon it's only a useless lump of dust circling around us, what the hell does it matter where it is in the sky? That way, we could dispose of Wednesday altogether and kids at school wouldn't have to bother about how to spell it and I'd be rid of bloody Wednesday, when nothing good has ever happened to me and I'll be able to shut my eyes now - and then open them again and it will be Thursday and that's all right; because you know you're getting near to the weekend when it's Thursday. I'll drop a line to the Prime Minister about it tomorrow. Now then, would tomorrow be Thursday or Friday?
                          Sorry. A bit off post but I couldn't resist ......

                            And so it is that Thursday comes round again, somewhat sooner than seemed likely on Sunday evening.

                              I still don't really get The Big Issue.
                              Are the articles worth reading? I have bought it occasionally, and I have talked to some of the vendors. Sometimes I just give them money anyway, and don't bother with the mag/paper.
