20090124 - Coffee

For the Flash Us and Minimalism challenges for January.

So, there I was washing up and about to make my morning coffee... cup, spoon... "oooh - that'll do".
Hmm - you just don't realise how grotty, stained and dirty your teaspoons get 'til you look at them up-close with lots of light :(

Back in nice, safe high-key. That low-key stuff was scaring me ;-)
