on a much less serious topic this comes from Mrs Snowy @ the airport today, I think Denim's officially jumped the shark;

Absolut-ly horrendous.

In other news, someone is either making a "log log" or taking selfies in the can.  I heard the unmistakable skeuomorphic "click" of an iPhone camera in a stall as I wash washing my hands.  Then I made a hasty, almost panicked, exit.

This is at my workplace, thus further confirming that there are some fucking animals scattered amongst the seemingly harmless population here.

I found Seul a lady…

That's not a lady, that's a princess!..

Corpse was dumped down the street from my house.  I live in a very safe area, so this is noteworthy.

I am curious to see how this plays out.  I think it was probably just a dump and run.  Strap in the lap for now…

^ Blimey! Hope it's a one-off. Got the next two days off from work, does this afford me a huge lie-in and a chance to hibernate until Friday afternoon? No because: #insomnia :(.

So?.. PLay GTA V…

[Morose_Penguin]

One of our friends, Anna, will be attempting to swim around the Isle of Wight (that is 60 miles) tomorrow.

I will be out on the water with Alex taking photos of his diving operation, so hopefully will be able to cheer her one.

Lend her your support, this is a massive undertaking

Test shot with the GoPro before handing over to Alex in the water…....

So, after full day out (in) on the water scrubbing hulls, Alex got an emergency call at 10:00pm.  A tug had wrapped a rope around it's prop in Southampton and needed to berth a container vessel (not having propulsion is a tad awkward in that situation).  He got back at 2:30AM and then got another call at 08:00 for another prop wrap, I think he's earning his bacon….

Anna has completed the swim.  60 miles.  Only the 4th time it has ever been done and the first by a woman…..Respect
