Does anyone remember the television quiz "Ask the Family", chaired by Robert Robinson? One of the rounds involved identifying everyday objects which had been photographed from odd angles, so they'd show something like a colander close-up or the spiral of a corkscrew from the point down.
I hadn't intended to play that game here, but as it's a variation on a lot of what goes on on this site - looking at things in a slightly different way and perhaps seeing something in them which might otherwise have been missed, it's valid enough. I've linked it with another of my preoccupations, i.e. that I don't accomplish as much as I should, and so I've snapped some of things I am doing, or should be doing more of, so that I can invoke (from another famous quiz show) the late-lamented Magnus Magnusson's line, "I've started so I'll finish".
The picture above is not of a black hole, or the sky at night, it's the coffee in my blue mug, its steam clouding the camera lens, its presence making me sit longer than I ought to before tackling various chores!
Then I've got knitting to get on with....
...and good books to finish:
If you were to ask my family, they'd say I was spending far too much time on the computer.
They'd get a point for that answer.
