Colour my day red

Today was a bit of a red day. I took a walk to post a letter—yes, you can still post letters! On my way, I passed by some old discarded technology, a red telephone box, and a beautiful red rose.

Red Telephone box

Do you remember the days when you stood in the cold, hoping you had enough coins in your pocket to call a friend? I was nineteen, with my boyfriend, and the first time I had left home without my parents. I recall calling my mum from a telephone box on the Isle of Man. It was so thrilling to think I could have a direct line to home. Mum wasn’t too impressed when she answered with, “What do you want?”

“I’m on the Isle of Man. Can you hear the bikes?”

“I’m missing my TV program.”

And just like that, she was gone.

Have a brilliant day, everyone! Remember to find joy in the simplest things; otherwise, life can become too complicated.
