that friday feeling

Tweet

Here I am, sitting in Costa, cradling my skinny hazelnut latte. The world is whizzing by. Some people stroll by, their heads attached to music. Others hurry along, late for work. Costa is full of women, not a man to be seen. Even the staff are all women today. Oh, scrap that. Two young Chinese chaps just walked in. Are they tourists? Do they study at one of the many Colleges? Perhaps they're British and I'm making ridiculous assumptions based on their heritage? I don't know. I'm trying to remember if the world was different when I was younger. Did early morning workers talk to each other? Or did they have their heads buried in newspapers and books rather than a mobile phone? How did I even survive as a child, teenager and young adult, with no mobile phone and no Internet? What did I even do? There are teenagers having babies today who have never known a world without so much technology. When did I get so old?! Time to stop pondering and meander down to the riverside to meet my MiL and Baby Niece. Yay! It's Friday! Have a happy day.
