Monday again. Strange in these past lockdown weeks, where weekdays blended seamlessly into weekends…. you always seemed to instinctively know when Monday came round again. Once again you wonder just where the time went to, vanished into the ether.
As for the shed above…I have always questioned whether they needed a bigger shed or a shorter ladder!

Raining again today….. We do have the promise that it will get back to weather much more like July summer weather next week.. Till then its more rain .
It all reminded me of an image of a shop front I spotted about 3 years ago. It is a shop on the Harbourside at Portree, on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
The cynical will say….it always rains in Scotland. Well, Scotland and the Isle of Skye certainly get their share of ‘weather’ ….. but I can confirm it also gets a great deal of sunshine too..
So maybe they named this shop very much with tongue in cheek .

This weeks B&W Challenge Cee has nominated the topic of Tables and Chairs….. everyday items.
So here are a few suggestions for the Challenge…from the Luxury of a Stately Dinning Rooms all precis with perfect table settings….. to the more lowly but very welcoming Kitchen Table…
Then of course there are more humble forms of seating. Here is a reminder of School Rooms of a previous era with there very humble and very hard Benches…
Then there is the holiday favourite … the Bench on the Promenade with a view over the sea, this one turned into a unique Art Installation….
Buster loves his comfort and after a long walkies an easy chair is the perfect spot to chill out in the sun…
Finally here is a Bench in a setting, that with these milder winter winters, we haven’t seen for three years now….. but in the summer sunshine it is one of my favourite places to ‘rest awhile’…..
Why not join in the Challenge, it is a bit of fun…and right now we could all do with as much fun as we can muster.
