So… excitement abounds!
Huh?
All going well, we’ll be in Croker next year! But this time, it will be filled to capacity! A DAY FOR THE AGES!
Hold on, hold on… you Mystic Meg wannabe…
HUH?
I mean, you can’t say with CERTAINTY that we’ll be in Croke Park next year…
Well, all going well!
But…
But, nothing! You and I are bound for Croker next summer… full house, unbridled excitement!
Look, all I’m saying is, nothing’s guaranteed…
IT IS GUARANTEED! We’re gonna be there to savour those gifted brothers…
The Smiths? The Murtaghs?
HUH?
I know we beat Tyrone and had an off-day against Armagh, but…
I’m talking about the Gallagher brothers! Noel and Liam! You and I are going to Croker next August for the big Oasis comeback! Put that in your diary! And start saving!
Oh, right! Hey, even better, why don’t we suggest to the Editor that we review the concert, or even interview the lads?
Great idea! All expenses paid, of course!
Of course! I’ll work on applying for press passes… can you do me one favour?
Go on…
Will you deal with the Editor on hotel prices?
(They pause to see if there are any more developments in the GAA intercounty manager merry-go-round)
So, happy days!
Huh?
The kids are gone back to school!
Oh yeah… er, right?
New regime!
Huh?
A new regime for me, at home!
Okay…
An opportunity to make a fresh start! After all, I generally drop the children off at about 8.40 am in the morning…
Yeah, I THINK I’m following you…
I’m up bright and early!
Got ya! The summer is over, such as it was! It’s time for discipline, for structure, for early mornings, for a fresh start, a new regime as you say!
Exactly! Especially on those mornings I’m off work, or working remotely.
Indeed! So how will it pan out? Will you be going for a jog in the mornings? Mindfulness? Attending to long overlooked chores? How will you use the ‘early morning discipline’ in this positive new way?
Well, for starters, with a quiet house, I was thinking of putting my feet up and watching some TV in peace! That, or reading a book! Or taking up golf!
Huh! Now I see what you mean by a new regime!
