The weather really sums up my mood today - alternately bright sunshine and then dull and showery.
I suppose when you wake up you are never quite sure what kind of mood you will be in. Whether the mood is decided by what's inside you or by the day's events is a matter of conjecture. Probably a bit of both. Probably staying up very late last night to catch up on e-mails, stories for the newspaper and web sites was a mistake. I am now finding my voluntary work takes up a good three to four days a week and brings its own pressures. Problem is if I gave it up I would probably be rather bored. Perhaps I need to find a happy medium (and I'm not talking about a lady who smiles a lot and communes with the dead).
This morning I was down to have a golf lesson with one of the professionals at a local club. I was so concerned at not having heard from them that I rang up both yesterday and today to confirm and was told everything was in order. Actually far from it. When I got there they had nobody available for the lesson and seemed to be confused about what it actually was and where it had been booked. Eventually they found the appointment in a diary. So despite booking it in person and confirming it through phone calls it turned out to be a cock up. Not likely to improve my mood as I now have to re-schedule and what confidence can I have that it will go ahead next time? Perhaps I should just ask for the money back.
This blog is becoming rather a moan but c'est la vie. Noticed when I turned into my road that they are digging it up yet again. This seems to be an almost weekly and certainly monthly occurrence. The last twice they have wiped out my telephone line and consequently I was left without internet connection for days. Let's hope that isn't going to happen again this time. One has to ask how many times they (and I presume it's contractors working for BT) have to dig up a road that has just 20 houses and why they can't sort out whatever the problem is without having to take it up and re-lay it yet again.
Today my thoughts are with a former colleague whose husband has just died from a heart attack.
Tonight is going to be a rather long one. Actually that's a strange phrase as every night is exactly the same length. Some just seem to be longer than others. Tonight will be continuing the football club interviews started yesterday. There's plenty to sort out between now and the start of next season in September.
Am particularly looking forward to our new social running club which starts this Thursday and continues for 10 weeks. It will be nice to get back into running and improve my fitness.
There seems to be a dearth of good music at the moment. Each Monday I like to check out new releases on Napster but have been struggling in recent weeks to find anything interesting. Today I've actually reverted to listening to yet another Moody Blues compilation which does pose a question. How many times can a best of or greatest hits package be released? This one is called Nights in White Satin - The Collection and is suspiciously similar to so many other MB compilations - just another collection re-packaged. Much better to listen to the original albums in order to put the songs in the right context. Justin Hayward does have one of the great voices though.
