Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back.

Obama creeps me out.
My favourite ad of "Ads That I Like" is #25.
I like the name Albert. Well, Bert. Bert McCracken sounds like a good name from the 1930's, like that footballer Lenny Hayes.
I think you'll find Ramadan is the currency for Indonesia not India.
Henry is the ants' pants.
See ya round.
