Credit crunch, latest
First the answers from Sunday;
1. Alanis Morissete Head Over Feet
2.Meatloaf Paradise By The Dashboard Light
3.Madonna Don't Tell Me
4.Nirvana Lithium
5.Oasis Wonderwall
6. Rolling Stones. You Can't Always Get What You Want
7.Red Hot Chilli Peppers Under The Bridge
8. The Sex Pistols God Save the Queen
9.The Verve The Drugs Don't Work
Not many got the Sex pistols, I think it must be an age thing.
The news this morning is all about the financial meltdown and how terrible it all is, to hear some of the reports you would think that it’s the end of the world, what a load of crap. Ok, so the American government cannot decide if it should throw lots of money at the problem or not, and all the people telling them they should work in the financial sector, just where the money will end up (also securing their jobs and fuelling their bonuses, as if they haven’t taken enough money already). On the other side of the fence are the people saying that if you throw the money at something that is broken it will stay that way ( just like a hole in a petrol tank, you can keep filling it and the car will run, but the problem is still there). In the UK we have come up with our own solution, sell what is good (at a knock down price and to foreigners) and nationalise the crap (does that now mean the all those people with B&B mortgages are now council tenants?). Melt down or not, I have picture for at least the next week, so I’m not going any where.
A shot to cheer you up, my pint of Guinness from Saturday, taken outside a country pub in wonderful sunshine.

( be warned there is a virus attached to certain awards and nemes. I have been hit, and will no longer be excepting them. Lost a lot of work, but forutnately backed up on good old disc.)
This particular image made me look very closely. What wonderful light and what a creative image.
I also was fascinated with the image of the leaf caught in the dried Queen Anne's Lace (?).
I'll check back in from time to time to see more of your work.
the current financial situation is a very sad one indeed - I feel for all those affected.
As a newcomer to Blogger, I especially appreciated your taking the time to comment on mine. I was a bit taken aback, as I follow your blog regularly and have recommended it to many friends. You are a fantastic photographer. As an inveterate anglophile, I love "visiting" your country through your photos. I am such an amateur. Your post was my inspiration to start "gracefulagingnow".

And thanks for your wonderful comment over on mine. Your posts touched me deeply as I related to your feelings.
As for the Americans....pfffft. Being their next-door-neighbour makes it especially tough. It is really affecting us. They got themselves into it though didn't they?
