Rainy days and Mondays

Well it is not quite Monday but the title will suffice... Being heritage day today it has given me quite some time to do more ripping. Though the weather has dampened my mood somewhat, I am gratefull that it is raining but not quite what I wanted to do on this public holiday... I was hoping to take my camera and snap some shots at the Fort for posting at some later date...
Rainy Days and Mondays - Carpenters, written by Paul Williams & Roger Nichols
Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Looking back on Karen Carpenter's life the lyrics describe her life, such a pity she was never able to resolve her personal issues and find happiness.
Today's quote is maybe not correct date wise but to my mind quite apt for the weather and the subject.

"Some rainy winter Sundays when there's a little boredom, you should always carry a gun. Not to shoot yourself, but to know exactly that you're always making a choice." Lina Wertmuller
