It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.

Oh Mr Hart… What a mess! Billy Goat Lane, the Battery Point/ Sandy Bay border. January 2012. . Theme Thursday again and I am under the pump to PRODUCE a witty, thoughtful and reflective piece on the topic. Now, I had a fabulous idea in mind that involved more than ten litres of white paint, a world famous landmark and a snappy catchphrase from a 1970s Afro-American centric sitcom [you know, the one that alludes to the composition of nitro-glycerine or ammonium nitrate dispersed in some kind of absorbent medium (you know, wood pulp or such) and an antacid (commonly such as calcium carbonate)]. Unfortunately, with the paint tins weighing be down and me trying to keep reading my book and hitting those stairs [above]... Well... you can see what happened. Thus all I have PRODUCEd , all that I have brought to the table today is a great big mess .
