Just for fun #1

by

It's Monday morning. The bus races through Tower Bridge. As usual, the driver shouts a cheerful greeting through the open window. I smile at passers-by, wave hello to strangers who avoid my gaze while I sing out of tune.
In cafes, disgruntled customers harass tired waiters.
''Leave them,'' I say, ''Have fun!''
Bang in the middle of Tower Bridge, the bus stops suddenly. Driver and passengers pour out holding hands. They leap, twirl like Dervishes on a spiritual retreat.
On Monday morning, all we need is to follow a band of merry people to the sound of an accordion.

    I wanted to post this on Monday but I have been rather pressed for time lately (as you have noticed) so pretend it is Monday instead of Saturday 😎 Have a beautiful weekend, everyone.

    Reading this could soften that 'Monday Morning Feeling.' Frenchie, and it's making me think of asking to borrow my neighbours' accordion!
