19-07-05 i can't get no sleep.

For some of you, Bliss’ hook’s kicking in, right about now........ Ear candy.

Today’s extra was going to be the PAD for the day. I had got home fairly sharp, and shot straight
out on my bike, trying to avoid the rain. I failed. The minute I left the garage, it started
tipping it down. Rather than go back in, I thought seeing as I was half-soaked anyway. I had
planned to get a particular shot, but for one reason or another this evening I couldn’t get it.
Instead I saw this patch of thistles at the side of the road, which was going to do nicely.

All that fresh air I thought I’d have no problems sleeping. Instead a couple of hours later, still
no success. All that fresh air I thought I’d have no problems sleeping. Instead a couple of hours

stretching. At least this year I can get some benefit out of it.

Aw buddy, been there...Great mood shot conveying a common reality.

Too bad about the sleeping. I think I had the same problem on the same night! I wonder if the full moon had anything to do with it? Nice lighting and pose. Hope you catch up on your sleep.

the insomnia-ness!

Can feel your restlessnss Dom. Betting after you took this sleep was easy?

I know the feeling. Look at the time I posted this message!

You've gone all 'Niall' with the moody white boy in low light SP. :)

Very evocative shot, bro. So much left to the imagination. You could be plotting, musing, fretting or, as the commentary suggests, just plain not sleeping.

Nice quiet image. Take a book to bed & right when it gets interesting your bound to go to sleep.

You can catch up on a snooze when you get into work.

An air of mystery. Moody and evocative.
