Minnie’s Musings

Random ramblings of a middle aged, middle class, middle income woman

So, I have got as far as Wednesday and not posted, which is remiss of me. Or rather, an illustration of how busy my life is and how important I am, not.

This is my third attempt (probably fourth or fifth in my head) at my rant about Friday. Days like that need to be confined to the dustbin of life sucks.

It started with a quick nip to local diagnostic centre to have an MRI on my knee. Quick nip turned into an hour’s palaver as the mobile scanner (these things are not designed to be mobile) had its usual Friday morning strop and downed tools. “We are getting a new one in two months,” said all and sundry in the manner of excited grandparents. In the end I got ‘done’ by the old static machine which has done me before. Too short to have a nap, but hey! It’s done.

Off to McD’s for breakfast (old Friday morning habits die hard) and then back to my desk to attempt a bit more of my course. Which preoccupied me to the extent that I left a little late for my speed awareness course, which was not in the hotel I thought it was but rather in another one 20 minutes further away. I then spent a frustrating 40 minutes attempting not to get another speeding ticket (including the red circles of doom on the M25 which got me last time – and are the source of said course) arriving one minute after the course closed its doors.

Well avoiding speeding to a speed awareness course has cost me an extra £45. Therefore I am now going to make a concerted effort to improve my punctuality (my best friend has been known to call this ‘Minnie Time’) so watch this space as I arrive anywhere and everywhere half an hour early. If I appear to be late, it’s because I am just finishing my game.

Anyway, I returned home to scream at my computer….
