It was not the best of weeks ... I sort of felt like that hapless sea bird whose picture you posted in this entry ... that was a pretty awful sight, and right next to such a beautiful picture of the roiled surf. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I would love to read that polar ice piece that you mentioned you wrote.Regulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908072367667145521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145558051219626249.post-72813828185101783552008-06-14T20:45:00.000+10:002008-06-14T20:45:00.000+10:00Thanks for the tip Fifi- I was about to put my pri...Thanks for the tip Fifi- I was about to put my printmaking stuff on the top shelf!
