Sunshine on a Mundane Day
Look, who decided finally to show up And for a while there I was starting To get all upset and wound up!
Then quickly, I am up from the tub Grabbing a hold of my favourite cup And then towards the outside, With a set of a few huffs and puffs I dare to go And yeah, none too slow!
Just before, that is, My all time favourite show On the television, is up! As the sun decided to turn up Way too late of the day Much to all those waiting And now complaining! But hey, it’s Monday So what did you expect!?
“There is always something isn’t there! In the IT world nothing is more sure than the fact that something breaks!” Gun Roswell
Out of order for now!
Dear WordPress friends and readers,
My blog is currently on the fritz and rolled back to 14th of April 2020.
You see, I made a request to change my plan for the site and it was supposed to be a two hour job. However, they found a bug there (and not the several legged crawling kind one either). From where it came from I have no idea as I have not changed anything on my blog for years (admitting guilty for being lazy in that aspect) except the plan by clicking choices to boxes on the ordering page and paying for it (monetary currency so far). But now, it has been over a day since the support request was opened and so far, the site is on hold as they told me not to post anything meanwhile. But I wanted you all to know the situation as I have no idea when this will all be fixed. They have assured me that the posts are safe and I have my own back-ups of course. But all this delay seems such a wasted opportunity to me and not to mention loosing my “Streak” 😉 I can only hope this will be solved ASAP, but working in IT myself I find it odd that the paying customer has to suffer for this and keep asking the important question of “when?” constantly.
Well, this is life and it goes on even with small glitches such as this. Today I got my first corona shot so I am happy for that at least😀
Meanwhile I will follow your stories and keep writing my own every day even if I cannot post them.
Keep on writing and most of all, keep on blogging no matter what!!!

“Seated on a bench in the backyard, feeling quite smart as I’m not working my ass off on this fine day” Gun Roswell
A seat in the backyard
A relatively warm and lazy day, there ahead of me with much of that promised sunshine on display Finding that perfectly placed and comfortable seat, but certainly not in any of the busy streets Rather the best one of them all, right here in my own backyard where I had it just installed Taking with my favourite book alongside some frizzy and cold drinks to the comfortable nook I will be perfectly set for at least half of the day, even if the baddest weather would get in my way You see I have this changing climate all figured out, as I got myself a nice sheltering parasol To keep the heated sunny rays of the shining sol off me, but also any kind of rainy bouts out So, on this Sunday, nothing will cause me upset or dismay., as I am as prepared as any old scout And will take my leisure time without any kind of doubt, maybe even something reading out loud Guess this will be the best kind of day, where reading is the task instead of over a hot oven to slay
“Cats are great, cats are fun, cats are playing under the shining sun” Gun Roswell
Cats of the world (or rulers of said place, which ever way you want to look at it)
The cats will cheer you up, no matter what and how much you can and will huff and puff Watch them at play, with the stupidest object imaginable, a scrap of paper perhaps The game going on and on and on, until that very moment, the cats get tired of the thing But then, they will most certainly start to sing, if not even one present for them did you bring And that concert of very loud meows will last until the small kitties get their deserver chow So, better get that handy, what ever kind of cat candy you will them cuddly, fluffy cats serve As you are that one time special person, the felines will want to keep for now at least, around That is, until something better comes along at least, that is their ongoing pun, am I right?!
“Older and wiser! My ass! I think older and wider is more apt, literally, just look at it!” Gun Roswell
Older and definitely wider (never wiser)
Each and every morning I am going through the exact same boring routine As I observe myself from the bathroom mirror, the image worse each day to be seen All the smile caused wrinkles and here I am placing the sarcastic pair of air quotes Well, the could be quite distinguished and simply more than fine But it’s the other parts, which bother more as you see they are getting more and more wide Except, well, the smile, which gets more narrow to the point of a beak of a sparrow Smaller and duller and not like those other mentioned places, which are getting fuller and fuller The old adage, some people still dare to say, that of getting wisdom with age? Only it is a total sham and worse of it all is, that it came with cans of spam! And of course I dared myself and ate the whole huge damned lot So now I am neither the winner of the pot and I think I likely ran out of luck As I am getting much older now, only not as I had hoped, the kind of wiser But definitely with each and every passing day, I will be the more wider!
“It’s always good to get to the seaside for a boat ride, no matter what size it might just be“ Gun Roswell
Ready to set sail for the free day?
As the weekend finally begins, it is also the time for the heart to sing, not just because it is the end of the working week once again, but also because this means, setting trail for the seaside and then it is only a matter of time to hoist the sails and steer the boat towards the setting sun, or at least that will follow later, as the early morning haters, are now up and about, giving the passersby a shout of joy, as thus, the free time has begun and if lucky enough, the time of fun also begins. It’s not all just fun and games, a lot of work will be involved while being on board, but whatever needs to be done, sure beats the homey chores. And if the weather remains on our side, then the limit is the ocean wide and the open skies, and in my book, that is simply fine. Then after a while of sailing, a break is needed for the reeling. Time for eating, swimming and simply being, alive and well, inhaling the smells of the sea. Then off again, to some more time on the waters spend. If the choice was there, sailing to the world end, would be something, on the agenda, but for now, a quick three days dash, will clear up the itching rash, figuratively as the need for the sea, is always present when stuck on land. So, enjoying this time while we can, and that is really all we can ask.
“There are secrets behind all windows, dare to peek inside?” Gun Roswell
The secret on the other side of the window
The split glass window on the mysterious looking wall Was inviting passersby curious enough to explore To take a long peek of what might lie behind the sleek And small size but still perfectly cut to fit squares Hardly even see through but inviting nevertheless To bring forth the underlying adventurer and dare devil And to seek out what ever mystery there was to uncover Behind those four individual blocks of tainted glass Because this game was about to begin and those on board Would be assured a play of a life time when the chime Dinged three times and then, there would be no turning back As stepping through the window made of four blocks of glass Was a portal to the unknown, to be now known to the those Daring without scaring venturing into the world beyond
“Slimy they be. Maybe, but also quite fine-y, predicting the weather and all, so for an animal that small, I dare the weather person to do the same with just their own antennae!” Gun Roswell
Snail, Snail on the Porch lay (or moved, not sure)
The weather forecast of a stormy and rain filled day, was about to turn in to a finding on display, at least, on the world wide web as the slimy snail looked too cool to ignore, so what the heck. Snap, snip, post, done, what could have been more fun? Certainly not sitting in a darkened room staring at the ‘puter all day long, even if the feeling of missing the working day seemed wrong.
Well, as it turned out, sitting beside the small snail on the porch, for the better part of the afternoon, soon turning to eve, which came way too soon, as watching the small animal making its way to the hide out chosen by its mate was more of an adventurous day the pix snapper had had in a long, long while! And that in itself, was definitely worth a wide smile, am I right!?
“That golden moment, reflected, in the windows, in the afternoon light – looks like we live in the golden city!” Gun Roswell
A golden moment arrived
The windows reflecting the light As the afternoon’s sun is still bright Colouring all the surfaces with gold hue Completely irradiating the feeling of blue A lyrical moment for the mundane grey The feeling of dull quickly fading away As the tall towers and the low windows Make us believe in fairy tales and wonders Our city now the golden one Before the illusion comes undone And we are back to the mundane vision Of dull surfaces needing revision
