I seem to photograph this imposing building whenever I visit Ikea in Southampton. And the tree skeletons in front create some interesting additional textures - for Ingeborg’s Abstract Thursday theme today.

The extra is the spectacle that awaited when I awoke at 7:45.

No plans yet. Mr B is heading for the club to meet his mates. We have run out of loads of basics, Mr B uses the last of eg garlic, but despite my pleas never updates the shopping list. So a food shop beckons today.
