I am sending this post from Samoa. Well that is not exactly true but as I was recently accused of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story, I thought I might as well live up to my reputation. Anyway back to Samoa : the reason I am posting from Samoa is that the island state is just to the right of the International Date Line. And that means it is still Thursday. Which is useful because I am running a little late this week.
It all started with that short holiday in Wales and then all the Christmas shopping. It destroyed my carefully cultivated routine. Thus on Tuesday I was still trying to complete the things I usually do on Monday, and on Wednesday I was just approaching my Tuesday list. When I would normally be penning my Theme Thursday post I was still pondering my Wordless Wednesday submission. If things carry on the way they are doing I will not have completed my Fun Friday post until well into Sepia Saturday. And then I had a thought. Go west, go about as far west as you can possibly go. Go to Samoa. As my Uncle Albert always used to say, "time is relative". You may be late in West Yorkshire but you are early in Samoa.
So there you go. You need never be late again. Simply change the location on your Google profile. In the words of the old adage, go west young man.

ReplyDeleteSo what you're really is don't every go on a short holiday to Wales. Which makes perfect sense I guess.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I think you have a very healthy approach to life, Alan.
ReplyDeleteIs there really a "Sepia Saturday"? I think I'd enjoy that. (Glad you made it, after all.)
ReplyDeleteI shall certainly remember this when I'm running behind, like for deadlines due this weekend:-(
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a clever take on TT...
You, fine sir, are a genius! -J

I love the way your mind works. You are very clever, sir!
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the phrase "It's happy hour somewhere in the world!"
ReplyDeleteVERY clever thoughts Alan!
ReplyDeleteBottom line...you were really RIGHT ON TIME!
Excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. May change it the wrong way, though, and end up even later! I think...
ReplyDeleteI loved it! And since no one else has said it... "Give us Samoa of that!!!" Barump-bump!

ReplyDeleteAlan, I'm game for "Sepia Saturday". I've got quite a few old b&w photos from the 40s and 50s (and earlier) that I'd love to showcase!
