Somehow Thursday never seems to be an important day in the week: in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Arthur Dent says: “This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays”. I’m not sure that I can either as I was born on a Thursday and have, according to the nursery rhyme, ‘far to go’…
SELF-PORTRAIT AS THURSDAY
the day that lisps
towards week’s end
trails behind Wednesday 
with my face solemn
as we go around
the world in seconds
with thunder rolling
out behind Thor
who came out of Jupiter
on Juno’s wrong side
and left me spinning
out into space

NEW! Frame and The McGuire – ‘… a gentle yet striking novel about the way our perception influences our judgement of others.’ Amy Mathers. For ages 8-13 … published by Tradewind Books available on Amazon or your local bookstore.
Not yet the end of the working week but passed the middle… Thursday lacks individuality, waiting for someone to give it a personal color.
And I gave it a try! Thanks, Francine.
Hi Joanna I hope this finds you well. I loved this as Thursdays are THE best days. I was born on one! With love Diana
PS Have you had a chance to read The Bearer’s Burden yet? >
Hi Diana, you’re another Thursday and you’ve certainly gone far! I have indeed read your
book, and sent out a review. All the best, Joanna
