Playing with Holy Cutlery…

There are no cruise ships scheduled to call into Guernsey but at the last minutes a German cruise ship with 1,000 passengers arrived. Very few of them spoke much English but we were able to greet them with smiles.
So since I spent another morning in the Town Church I decided my blip should be holy cutlery which I played with in Inkwork. The extra is a wider pic to show a background of the church.
And to reward myself for my morning’s smiling I nipped into M&S for a bacon roll and iced latte. They couldn’t find a top for the latte with a hole in the lid which fitted the straw, so I clutched the straw as I walked home. Can you guess what my saying of the day is?

Where does the phrase 'grasping at straws' come from? It comes from a proverb in Thomas More's “Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation” (1534) which says, “A drowning man will clutch at straws.” It is said that the “straw” in this case refers to the sort of thin reeds that grow by the side of a river.
