Elephant in the house

I spent some time this morning booking two coach trips for two friends and ourselves, which turned out to be a tad more complicated than it should have been.  Afterwards I drove into the city to pick up my daughter and we went for a walk in the Domain.  It was still reasonably mild but as the day progressed the wind got stronger and the rain started … again.  It continued for the rest of the day, and is set to worsen overnight. The afternoon was spent doing my usual Monday work, plus catching up with some household chores.

After supper I realised I didn’t have a blip, so took a photo of the metal elephant we picked up in a junk store under the arches by Ramsgate Harbour. I rather like him.
