MOUNTAINS TO MOLEHILLS BY NOON

[Karan]: Today has just been one of those days. It started well enough, I got out of bed feeling rested - for a change - and was ready to scale a mountain. Within the space of a handful of hours however, I would now feel triumphant just to hurdle a mole hill - mountains are clearly too ambitious for today.

You see I have been thwarted at every thwartation, and hobbled so much by bureaucracy this morning, that I'm treating myself to an afternoon of counting the hairs in the palms of my hand, before I go shopping for one of those lovely jackets that do up at the back!

All that remains for me now is to wrestle the rest of the day from the jaws of defeat, and have something to show for my collision with officious officialdom - wish me luck!
