Dreich-Weather Blues & The Mini Fan

in Shadow Hunters15 days ago (edited)

It has been a dreary Sunday for us up here. Mr Sun hasn't shown up all day and it should not be a surprise since summer bade farewell last month and the wet season is upon us.

I would have been used to it by now but I'm not really a fan of wet and cold days. They affect temperament and what else. But then again, the weather is one thing that I have zero control over, so it doesn't make sense to be fretting about it. We just have to find ways to live through these times positively and creatively.


And so we spent most of our time indoors, just as any other day when we couldn't do anything outside. Besides, the hubby has flu (he caught the bug when he was away for a few days), so it was a perfect excuse to be a little lazy. Not that we haven't had enough lazy days during the week already, haha! Well, as someone said the other day, it's what weekends are for.

Hmmm... another excuse? It depends on how one sees it, !LOL!



Joke aside, not because it is a rainy day and we are cooped up inside our doors doesn't mean we cannot do something fun. And today's idea of fun included hunting shadows even in the absence of sunlight, thanks to the SMASh initiative in the Shadow Hunters Community for the inspiration.

The router tends to overheat when the day is so hot or when many devices are connected to it (7-10 at most). Starlink support recommended putting it on a well-ventilated area or using a fan so we bought a pink mini fan, its shadows I'm sharing today.


It was quite a challenge to take photos without having the phone included in the shadows, hence the close-up shots. For some reason, the shadows cast by the fan in the photos below remind me of a clock, specifically Big Ben.🕕 It was the first thing that came to mind on seeing these.😅


Anyway, this was just one of the fun stuff that I did today and the others will be a story for another day.

Thank you and I wish everyone a fantastic weekend wherever you may be. God Bless!

This is my participation in the Shadow Hunters Challenge, Round 322. Thanks for this initiative, Melinda. and company :)

Wow, the sun hasn't shown yet, so should I say happy Sun* day?.....get it?😂🤔🤔

Yep. No sun today too. Thank you. !PIZZA

That's a pity🤧🤧🤧🤧 I hope the Sun comes back for you... wait you're way out of summer right?

To see the second picture I was thinking what the hell was the object 🤣? I think there was no way to understand that it was a fan. Fortunately you mentioned what was the thing otherwise I would be in confusion.

Nyahaha, I thought so. I couldn't take a photo of the whole fan. Thank you, Inti. !PIZZA

When I first saw the first picture, I got puzzled thinking what exactly it was, I had to continue reading to get the gist, great way to spend your day while indoors.

They were at first, but upon reading more, I got to understand them. That was actually creative of you guys.

Why in my province still rain doesn't show, it's still drought there. There's already shortage in water in some areas. Some of the well already run dry. Your shadow looks like a twin fan if I don't look closely.😄

Oh, sorry to hear. I hope the rain goes there too. Thank you, I edited the photos and put 2 side by side haha.

Nice shots! The mini fan overheating seems dangerous..or is it not? Anyways be careful!

It's the router that gets too hot so we needed the fan :) Thank you, W ❤️

Those were fun fan shadows!

Sorry about the dreich weather CJ!

Saver of the day, lol! Thank you, Tito Ed. Still a gloomy Monday.

Ah well there is always tomorrow for a bit of sun CJ

Hunting for lovely shadows as this isn't that easy but I'm glad you were able to capture this ones

It rain heavily over here and we are actually waiting for the sun to shine Brightly

Hope the sunshine comes for you. It's still gloomy here.

The rain is here too after many days of blistering heat and I can't have enough of it. I'm not usually a huge fan of Cold and wet days but right now, I'm loving it.
Great shadows I must say.

That's good to hear. At least the rain makes the air cooler for you.

Very wonderful shadows. I wish you luck in the contest.
I hate cold and wet days myself, they make me blue.

It sounds like we have something in common hehe. Cold days can make people blue :)

Thank you.

The weather over here was hot but thankfully, it rained here too and there was this kind of relief. The shadows are very incredible

Hello dear friend @ifarmgirl
I'm sorry that your husband has caught the flu, and that the days are not the best for us and he has to be inside the house. But as you say, not having control over the weather, you have to downplay its importance and live positively.
Have a happy and prosperous week

The weather here I stay have been massively hot most of the time

Beautiful shadows of a beautiful fan.
