  1. To be run aground at these dead ports, the colour bled in as close to hope as you might get here.

    Harbour buildings are so free of sentiment, whatever we project on them.

  2. Thanks WB. I think I projected a lot on those harbour buildings and on that mud. They are very absorbent, that's one good thing.

  5. Sweet, thanks WB. I knew Food Glorious Food but I didn't know Mud Glorious Mud. Plus now thanks to the song I also know it's one hippopotamus two hippopotami. Because playing in the mud alone is not nearly as fun.
