Context would allow for it to to refer to a period of time or a specific time also.
For example, I just replied to an email asking several of us to pick a time or times we were available for a conference, from a list of given times.
My response was "I can do Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon, or anytime Thursday morning."
The list of choices was something like Tuesday 9-11, Tuesday 3-5, Wednesday 9-11, Wednesday 3-5, Thursday 9-1:30, etc.
However, without the context of a list of times, I'd agree that saying you were free Monday morning would indicate the entire morning. Presumably one would assume that the beginning time available would be whatever the usual starting time for that job is. _________________ Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

--Thank you, Skrei. I see your idea very much. But how about Monday morning referring to a specific time? For example, in the sentence: "I'll be reading the magazine Monday morning", Monday morning means a specific time (like at 9 am). But how about "I am free Monday morning"? Can Monday morning here mean a specific time? |

Home sewing. Consumer interest in sewing and crafting continues to expand, as the home sewing industry grows to $3.5 billion in 2000. According to the Home Sewing Association, the continuous demand for home sewing is fueled by the current interest in home-based activities, the technical appeal of sewing machines with computerized functions, and the growth in the number of sewing-related sites on the Internet. If you have the ability to sew, you can offer such services as alterations, canvas repair, antique quilt restoration as well as sewing your original creations such as custom bedding, Christmas ornaments, custom slip and chair covers, hats, Christening gowns, prom dresses, chef and barbecue outfits, swim suits, ladies’ suits, soft toys and sculpture, and many more! Good idea: home based business reviews p.s. Excuse me. |

Yes, if the context has indicated so. However, your example of "I'll be reading the magazine Monday morning" doesn't refer to a specific time, unless again, it's been mentioned in context.
For example:
"Are you available at 9 a.m on Monday?" "No, I'll be ____ (working, reading a magazine, sleeping, on vacation, etc)." "Yes, I'm free then" or "Yes, I'm free Monday."
If you just say "I'll be reading a magazine Monday morning" or "I'll be free Monday morning", without any other context, then it's not a specific time, and could be anytime between 12:00 a.m to 12:00 p.m. on Monday. _________________ Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
