“I wish you a tolerable Thursday. That’s all any of us can hope for” April Winchell
Thursday (Daily Photo 2016-01-28) One
Thursday
Not a pretty day
The lack of sun
Cannot be fun
The icy cold mist
Does nothing to enlist
To the fan base
Of this common day
Also known
As Thursday
Oh, but look!
There might be hope
In the horizon
The sun is arising!
All hail
It’s Thursday!

“We’re on a highway to Hell-sinki!”
A Trip To Helsinki City (Sightseeing and Walkabout) One
Helsinki, the little town in the middle of nowhere, called Finland. You may have heard of it?
The place where all Finns dress in jumpsuits all year long and polar bears roam the streets. Penguins and other arctic dwellers are as familiar house pets as a cat or a dog. These Finns talk in funny accents and drink lots of coffee. They drive like nuts, because rally is in their bloods. They sit naked in the middle of freezing cold in a lake or a pond. In return, they have this dark small lodge, called the Sauna, where they sit naked in a hundred degree heat. Then later in July, when the sun comes out once a year, the complain about a twenty degree heat.
Yes, you know who they are! Welcome to Hell-sinki!

Snow and then some! (Part One)
In the early morning hours
Before the rush and plowers
A perfect moment of stillness
Nature white and flawless
Staring in awe
At the most beautiful picture
I ever saw

Early Bird catches the Sunrise
An early bird’s price
Is a gorgeous sunrise
Climbing high up in the skies
Before your very eyes

In response to Camera Lucida, Winter Mornings
“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation” Paul Theroux
Winter Morning
Early winter morning
Early, before the dawning
Fresh tracks in the powdery snow
Carefully found before the wind blows
The snowflakes frozen
Glazed against the window
Ski tracks on the ground
But not a soul to be found
The crescent moon
Present before noon
But not far behind
The sun with its shine

“I can’t focus when there’s too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, ‘Tidy up.'” Zaha Hadid

“There’s something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living” Karl Lagerfeld
“In order of appearance”
In the early morning hours
From my mighty tower (yeah right!)
I looked outside from my window
I was lucky to stay indoors
Because, it was very dark despite
The glorious blanket of white
That had fallen down the day before
What a total score!
Someone else would say
It was actually a sarcastic “yay”
Which from my mouth out dropped
Before I had to stop
The sarcasm getting too darn…
Still, debating, whether outside to pop
Or stay inside by the warm
With my trusted coffee cup
Staring for a moment
Not wanting to get frozen
I still couldn’t tore away
Transfixed,
Almost jinxed
Standing there
Looking at the open lane
Nothing stirred,
Well maybe something
I noticed one thing
A neighbour outside then came
Starting a task
Possibly with a help from “the flask”
Scraping the car
Trying to rid off
All the ice and snow
Not getting too far
Because the sky was pouring
More of the white stuff
Still standing in my spot
Looking at the clock
Ticking away
Not wanting to get to the boring
Part of my day
You all know what I mean
But, no good comes from just a lean
Tearing away, to my trusted laptop
With almost a scoot and a hop
Started reading, typing,
Huffing and puffing (but of course)
Soon I was in a swing
Troubles and solutions
Solved with a swing
Before I realized
The night was upon us
Time to shut down
Let the evening gown
Dress me down
And a little later
That darn traitor
Sleep, get me
And to other worlds flee
For tomorrow
Back in to the flow
Of another working day
I needed to play

“The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office” Robert Frost
“In order of appearance”
No, this is not a weather report and certainly not Mundane Monday post (that I already did on Monday, so check it out too 😉 )
You can call this, “‘Till Wednesday”, if you like. There will be no glitter, no glamour, no sunsets nor sunrises (well, maybe, still a few).
Simply depicted in photographs, how yet another working week started, after the holiday season was over and it was time to return back to everyday life in suburbia and back to world of office, well, this week, home office.
Enjoy!
