53: Finlay and the Wonderful, Amazing, Not Bad, Very Good Day


Well today was that day
The day that nearly didn’t happen
The day that was nearly the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
The day that wasn’t what was expected
The day everybody was dreading
The day where so many things could’ve gone wrong but didn’t.

Three weeks of worrying and waiting
Three weeks of wondering and hoping
Three weeks of good days, bad days and better days
Three weeks of ‘Can he?’, ‘Will he?’, ‘Won’t he?’
Three weeks of incentives and coercion, ‘If…..’ and ‘Then…..’, carrots and sticks.

Today the weather put on its summer clothes
Today the bus company sent one bus instead of two
Today we saw dolphins frolicking in the harbour
Today the cinema forgot our booking 

Today we got to see Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Today seventy-five children made sandcastles on the beach
Today my son was one of them and coped
Today was a wonderful, amazing, not bad, very good day!
