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.

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.

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.
