24th June 2014 - Mission: Impossible

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to deliver valuable, secret documents to a place or places unknown.

First you have to write the top secret documents, then you have to make them stunning and finally, you have to career around the countryside in the sunshine bus breaking every speed limit known to man to place the secret documents safely into the hands of their recipients.

Work out that you have no idea where these places are or how to get there. Realise that for the second time in a few days you have no maps in the car. Your co-pilot (DM) will need to drive like a madman, climb over fences, hurdle gates and complete complex thinking puzzles to deliver the first package, then you will need to wriggle under a gate flat on your tummy and race across a sealed, no trespassing space to deliver the second package.

Will either of these packages achieve their aim? Will they save lives or prevent the bringing down of governments or even prevent world poverty? Probably not. Wuill they serve any other use? Maybe, just maybe. It’s rare to know if you will reap what you sow but that shouldn’t stop you from reaping…all I’m hoping is that there isn’t any CCTV footage of me wriggling under that gate, flat on my face, landing on youtube any time soon!

oh and once in a very blue moon, I shoot a studio pic that makes me smile - this is that day. I know I'll regret the time to take it tomorrow but that's another matter. For now, I'm smiling.

And you have every reason to smile over this. Nicely composed and captured --- an intriguing SP.
