Reasons to be cheerful.
Even if you're feeling shit, Monday morning blues etc. you must have something positive going on. Bore the rest of us with the details.
It's a lovely sunny autumn day in London, I had an excellent weekend with my daughter & have some very good coffee on the go.
Alt: Sporters ran the Great North Run yesterday. When was the last time you did something athletic?
I'm not sure this thread is going to work tbh, I'm not that used to feeling this happy.

I had an excellent weekend playing with my holiday photos and doing not very much at all.
I run a couple of miles every morning as I had become fat, but now I am slim again.
We watched Seven Psychopaths on Saturday - it was alright, but very derivative of Tarantino, but not as good. Funnier, mind.

I had a dream on Saturday morning about having to go to France with a couple of very dull middle-management civil servants, to help Mrs Vagabond wrestle the French legal system, as she'd been driving a train which had got stuck in a tunnel.
