Chase the blues away

10 January 2012

The first day back at work after a holiday is always a bit rubbish isn't it. And today is no exception, particularly when you add to the general post-festive blues the new layer of plaster dust and earthquake-related detritus that this particular break generated.

So this morning when I was rather grumpily looking through the Gallery drives for images of something or other and I found these photos again, they really cheered me up. If I could bring myself to use text-speak I might even go as far as to say they made me LOL. But I won't. I remembered what a fun morning we had had setting up the shots around the Gallery and I thought 'hey, it's not so bad being back!'

Hopefully he can cheer up your post-holiday blues too. Here's Cosmo...
