Of course what you can't see is the pile of woollies and coats on the ground by their feet!
Feeling a bit under the weather tonight, y'know...the sneezy/croaky/headachey variety, so it's going to be an early night with a double lemsip for me I think. The-boy-in-the-attic has it tougher though, he's somewhere out in the middle of the North Sea on the way back from a DFDS mini-cruise to Amsterdam.....apparently it's a bit rough out there. He rang me at work this morning (while still on the way there) when they were marrooned offshore and trying to get a pilot aboard....at that point he was all for spending a month's salary on a flight home and could I find out prices. But obviously he's found inner reserves of strength (or just decided it was a ridiculously expensive option) and is now aboard again for another sleepless night. But the whole affair reminded me of a website that might appeal to the inner anorak in you just begging to be let out.........
MarineTraffic.com is a GoogleMaps mash-up that plots (worldwide) live data from ships GPS systems....and that blue line on the piccy above plots the boyos meandering progress over the last 24 hours or so....I won't bore you with tonnage and wind speeds......
Nighty night!

Super shot! I hope you feel much better after a good night's sleep and I hope the boy gets home safely and soon :-)
Hey, it's almost the weekend :-)
Hmmmm, I think I'd rather be in bed with a Lemsip than out on the North Sea at this time of year! Hope you're both better soon.
I missed this one. It's another great shot. I hope you're feeling a bit better.
