Full steam ahead

On holiday I set myself a challenge to take pictures of various boating-related expressions. Some were easy...some not so easy. Sadly, what would have made a great example of “any port in a storm” was impossible to snap (even if I had had the presence of mind) by the fact that a) it was a storm, and b) I was trying to reach the port. May I present just a few of the results in an incomplete photographic account of life on the water...

Full steam ahead (at 2.5mph)

We gave them a wide berth

Light at the end of the tunnel

I’m a lock half-full kind of person

Like ships passing in the night (or day, as it happened)

They went swanning off

Water under the bridge

Whatever floats your boat...

Greetings! 

Nearing the end of a pleasant week of normality here. Weather is wonderful – bright sunshine every day after a drizzly time away last week. Much enjoying sitting down for most of the day – it makes a nice change. And what with everyone else being on holiday, the incoming workload is (thankfully) light.

Great variety of food here too – so far this week have enjoyed Chinese takeaway, IKEA meatballs and lots of vegetables.

Yesterday I visited a WWI exhibition by the lake on my lunch break which was really interesting, and I listened to some of my favourite music in my office. I’ve also had time to catch up with a few friends.

Back to a holiday next week – still, work has to end some time!

Wish you were here!

Much love,
