A Good Year For The Roses?, Aylesford

A very warm, woozy, proper summer's day today. I've almost sunk into that soporific heat that can envelop you and make you want to embrace it, make you want to lie down and take you over, to have a gentle, relaxing sleep without any stress or worry. I've had one of those weeks where the thought of some time off seizes your bones and it's all you can think of. An escape from deadlines, commuting and dark spaces would lift my spirits like a firework. I'm very hopeful that this will happen much sooner rather than later!
The title of today's image refers to an Elvis Costello song. He has written some of the best song lyrics I can think of. He could be caustic, lovelorn, whip smart or funny all at the same time in just one of his masterpieces from the late Seventies and early Eighties. And he could carry off geeky glasses like no-one else! A true, enigmatic genius.
