Rocky Mountain High

I am reblogging this because it shows a part of Canada that really interests me as a geographer. Canada definitely has everything from mountains to grizzly bears and a fascinating traditional heritage.

You can imagine how excited I was when my friend suggested we take a drive to Banff, about an hour and a half from Calgary. The excitement grew as we…

That Sunday Feeling

Do you ever get that Sunday feeling? After a long working week I just want to kick back and chill on Sundays. I want to devour roast dinners and watch plenty of TV series.

This poem celebrates all things Sunday related. It also considers the sense of doom that comes with a Monday morning. Having Monday looming over me is the downside of Sunday. Never mind. All good things come to an end. Make the most of your weekends while you can. Give yourself some worthwhile me time and rest those aching bones.

The weekend is full of joy,

Much needed sleep and rest,

On Saturday I get stuff done,

For me that day’s the best!

The weekend is a chance to chill,

And watch TV and browse,

But Sunday brings its own delights,

Like cleaning half the house.

Take me back to the seaside.

On Saturday I shop and dance,

I try to workout and be fitter,

But Sunday brings a different vibe,

That sometimes makes me bitter.

Because Monday follows Sunday quick,

And preparations for the work week start,

I wish we had three day weekends,

More time for fun and art.

Reality brings chores and angst,

As ironing and planning fill my days,

But Monday you don’t own me,

With your taunting, stirring ways.

On Sunday I can still kick back,

And eat bacon sandwiches in bed,

I see you Monday, glare at me,

You’re messing with my head!

Sunday Thinking

Sunday strolls can let you catch your breath.

Sunday arrives with optimistic skies,

Bright and breezy, clean and sweet.

Sunday is full of fun and laughs,

Running, jumping, skipping feet.

Food is roasted in the afternoon,

Cake is eaten and tea is brewed,

Lots of chatter, family time,

Puts us in a settled mood.

Feels like home.

Sadly as the night draws in,

Movies watched and people smile,

That Monday feeling looms within,

We put to one side, just for a while.

As the new week beckons then,

Prep for work and clothes to wash,

Sleeping is a troublesome game,

Now it’s Monday. Oh My Gosh!
