The word for 12.01.2010 is HAND

The word for Tuesday 12th january 2010 is HAND. I suppose l could have take an image of my hand and add interest by using my left hand, so l have an image of my engagement, wedding and eternity rings. Or maybe l could take an image of a child's hand and mine for size comparision?  Then l thought l could show a hand of cards or maybe go and see the horses in Richmond Park stables and takle an image of "hands" as in the horses height. Anyway, this was the way l was thinking when l left the house to meet Tony. Tony had driven the mini round to the front of the flats, l got in and we started to drive out of our Estate. I suddenly shouted out, "Stop, go back". "What do you mean, it's a one way system remember, we have only lived here for 12 years woman!" replied Tony. " Don't care, reverse". A very confused Tony, put the mini in reverse and slowly drove backwards. When he saw what l wanted to take an image of,  he put his hand up in front of my face and simply said, " Talk to the hand", laughted and put the car into drive and drove off!  When you see the image, l hope you will see why he laughted!

Question Time:  I wonder why it was on the back windscreen of this car? I wonder who put it there and lastly..why hasn't it got a thumb?Ha. Actually l think it is the cardboard support you get from the inside of new glove but there is still the question of no thumb?
