wake me up when the weekend is over

kittens think happiness is in their tails that’s why they keep chasing it”But an older wiser cat came along and said to the young kittens, "Yes I too believe that happiness is indeed in my tail but I find that if I go about my business everyday with love, joy and peace not worrying about my tail, happiness, seems to follow me everywhere I go.”Let’s just join hands to thank the almighty for Fridays. After a long week trying to make ends meet and trying with every magic trick to work like a slave not to mention the hopelessness of Monday blues.

Friday feels like I just got a gold bell in my right hand and when I ding-dong-bell, a maid swoops in to attend to every one of my requests. Rumour has it that America has a restaurant called T.G.I Friday's to mean Thank God its Friday. Well I could sing along every second of the Friday too. I only hope I could snap my fingers and appear at any destination of my choice or better still pull a superman act like Walking into a phone booth ,change into my mostly blue superwoman outfit and simply dash away to the next stop which by the way would be France. Oh my, first I would come up with a fancy French name for personal pleasure, just to see how people would react when I introduce myself with that irresistibly romantic accent. Then I would Stay up all night to feed my eyes with the physically well defined men and enjoy French foods like wine, cheese, chocolate, fresh bread though I wouldn’t be able to try out eating frogs or snakes as I have heard people say is a delicacy.  One thing is for sure, I would never move on to the next magical destination without paying a visit to the most popular place in France, the Eiffel tower (La tour Eiffel), which is an artistic location, even though I have always been afraid of heights viewing the city from a birds view...huh! What a sight it would be. I can already see it. I would overcome my fears just to have that mind blowing experience. While at it take lots and lots of pictures just to make you wish you where me.

the Eiffel Tower, a dreamy destination.

My weekend tour wouldn’t be complete without visiting an island that was home of the dobo bird which became extinct about 18years ago and has a motto in Latin that says ”Stella Clavisque Maris Indici" to simply mean "Star and key to the Indian Ocean" this is the one and only Island of The Republic of Mauritius. Here I would try out the French I picked up from Paris as they speak French often though English is said to be the official language. I would slow down, take it easy, and enjoy the sunset, the green carpet that would remind me of Uganda, my homeland. I hear it’s peaceful there, that even the snakes don't bite, although I wouldn’t take any chances with those slippery creatures.  Day dreaming is free so please doing wake me up, at least not before my nightmare starts which is Monday.
