Taken last year some time. Or maybe the year before. See a theme developing?

When You've Got Absolutely Nothing To Say...

I took this the other evening at Sandbanks, Poole.

Word Of The Day

Tmesis, noun



In grammar and rhetoric, the separation of the parts of a compound word, generally done for humorous effect.

Example:

"Are you looking forward to the Tool gig next week, Karen?" asked a half-asleep Sigmund.

"Abso-bloody-lutely!"

Been Picking My Own Today...

That's my tea sorted, then.

Word Of The Day

Dacrygelosis, noun

1) a mental state characterized by extreme mood swings
2) a condition of alternating laughing and crying


OK, Sigmund, it's about time we got you actively involved in this blog, instead of just standing there twitching nervously one day and clapping your hands excitedly the next. And they say that I suffer from dacrygelosis...

Glowworm

I've had a glowworm-shaped area of negative scotoma hanging in front of my eyes, obscuring my vision, for most of the day.

My neurologist said that these things are nothing to worry about. While he didn't really explain why I get this from time to time, he pretty much brushed it off as 'nothing'.

No. Well. You're not the one with the annoying area of blindness in front of your eyes all day, are you?

Still. It seems to have faded now. So I'll stop moaning.

There's a first, eh?

Bournemouth Sunset

Could be anywhere, actually.

But it was taken in Bournemouth, by me, from Hengistbury Head to be precise. A pair of sunglasses was used as the filter for this one.
