Is it Thursday?

When I worked Monday - Friday, I always knew what day it was and each day came with a different 'feel' to it. Now I work sometimes, and with no pattern to the days I work. DH works for an agency so sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - again no pattern. So my days get muddled yet the minute I work out what day it is, the feeling comes back. Monday - oh no - Saturday -relax, Sunday a bit gloomy and so on. But there is no reason for me to have those feelings now. Does anyone else have feelings for particular days?

Last week the meeting I usually attend on a Thursday was held on Friday AND I hadn't had the GC I usually have on a Wednesday because they were on holiday. So I've been completely thrown off the line. As a consequence I thought today was Saturday but it wasn't sad

I had a similar conversation with my DH recently - but about time. He can never understand how I can pinpoint the exact year something happened - he says time just runs together in his mind and he can't differentiate between one year and another. I see time in decades which are shaped like a smile - the 5th year is at the lowest point of the smile rising up again to the 9th and with the 10th on the highest point before starting the next smile. Somehow, I attach events and memories to a specific point on that shape and can therefore work out the year. Funny innit?

I always feel disappointed when I see a TV adaptation of a book where my imaginary view of the main characters is nothing like the actors portraying them. I always feel mine are much better.

Exactly what I feel, nellie. Very few films conform to the book and if it's a book I've loved, that spoils it for me. One of the very few exceptions was 'A Room with a View.'
