time on my hands

To have "time on your hands" is an idiom that means simply you have time in which to do anything you like. Time, of course, cannot be held in the hands, so the word hands is a metaphor which means to have, or to possess. An equivalent expression would be "I have plenty of free time."

little blue is happy to be back in colour, that's for sure.

it's late and i forgot about this project and i'm really not feeling any creative or clever these days. you will excuse me for being so, won't you, as hopefully it is just temporary.

I'm sure it's just temporary, besides, I think this is creative! Great shot :)

[JackieR]

Lovely lovely lovely.

[Loopy-Lou]

Love this shot!! Lovely and creative!

[Sally Ings]

Very nice and a great use of the idiom.

[Diana]

Very creative as usual 😉

[Lou Ann]

You are creative even when you don’t think you are! Your narrative and photo are very cool!

[Domenico Dodaro]

Not to mention that Little Blue has hands of its own... lovely shot!

[Henri Russell]

I love your very creative photo. I love seeing little blue.

[bkb in the city]

Well done. Ii could really use some of that free time once in awhile lol

[Helen Jane]

you are totally excused - and in any case, you are always creative - and always interesting. Little blue appears to be in tip top condition despite his antics you must be looking after the keeper of time very well.

excellent focus on little blue. a terrific illustration of the idiom

[Marnie]

I like your philosophising.

[Nicole Campbell]

My youngest daughter would love this clock, it is her favourite colour

[Cathrine Mitchell]

I so love this clock the colour just pops.

[Kathy]

Well done.

[Chris Johnson]

I wanna have time on my hands too. Every time I try to grab time like this, it sprouts legs and runs away! :P I always enjoy the creative shots you make with time. :D

the clock almost looks as though it's about to fly away... like a baby bird you are carefully cradling perhaps
