Simply..sailing on....

4/12/2014

I was very taken with Cath's metaphor - her house as a vessel (which could be a jar or urn but which I envisaged as a sailing ship).

It made me think of all the 'stuff' in the house as ballast - too much and you sink, just enough and it provides stability in stormy weather. Then there's the journey, and safe havens and harbours and anchors, and of course everything 'ship-shape' inside....ie in it's right place and working!

This is the kind of thing that Lucille puts under the heading of 'how to derive entertainment from mundane chores' See her Hokusai in the Car Wash - love it!

I would have put the music 'Sailing By' on this post if I had time to figure out how to do it without you having to look at ads first....but sorry, I'm going Christmas shopping and to party at Glasgow School of Art. (New dress!)

Maybe tomorrow..

I'd forgotten that one, although it seemed to have disappeared when I went to look via the link. At the risk of looking rather self-promoting may I ask if this works?

The vessel metaphor is such a good one. At present we are trying to stop the vessel leaking and the new windows are doing a good job!

Hi Lucille - I did test it and it worked last night - now it is telling me the page does not exist! How can that be? The link in your comment is not active......am working on it....Glad you're staying afloat.
