Painted ship

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

This is what my daughter calls an 'indoor theatre' shot. It was grey and rainy when I woke up and I decided a closer acquaintance with Photoshop would be preferable to a closer acquaintance with the weather. So here you have it (you can see more texture in large).

This week I reached the most frantic moment of my year. For at least the next month I shall be all over the place working all hours and the stress - like yesterday's flower - is up to my eyeballs.

But for the first time this year, I have blip to keep me sane and, as always, I shall greatly enjoy commenting on your pics. I do love seeing them every night. And if I do less answering of you comments on mine, I'm just hoping that will be a relief to you as what I say is usually pretty inane. (Does that make any sense? I hope so!)

Have a good evening, folks x
