Now Sunday, I could have illustrated the word dreary all afternoon whilst out on my walk. That was exactly how it felt when out in the cold and mud.
But yesterday, a light sprinkling of snow covered the dreariness outside and an avalanche of work awaited me indoors. I was not inclined, in any respect, to go looking for additional dreariness - it wasn't what I wanted!
And so the word spilled over to today. And as I looked around, it occurred to me that dealing with the various repair jobs around the house - cracks in the ceiling, chipped wood work and the damp in the corner of the kitchen - represented one of the most dreary aspects of life. Living in an old house , these tasks just keep coming.
It amused me, that as I photographed the dreary corner of the kitchen which hasn't been repaired because we haven't worked out the cause of the damp, I realised that someone was making a bid for freedom from all the dreariness around.
I think that should be me. I defy dreariness to take over my life. I'm going to dream of flying across blue skies and travelling the world under my own steam and in my own space, once more discovering the great wonders of this earth.
I see it! What a great eye you have...I may have missed it if you hadn't pointed it out. Surely you were uplifted by this discovery...I know I am! :) Fabulous image and commentary!
