The word for 14.01.2010 is FLAT

Yes ...l know it is now Friday and not Thursday but l got got side tracked by all the amazing  "how to do" blogs about journalling ect that l didn't realise the time! it is..wait for it...00.37 and l should be asleep but as usual l am not! So won't lie here wishing l was asleep and getting angry, l will blog instead. Right..down to buisness.
Today's word is rather a boring one but here it is..FLAT. Lots of phases come to mind, such as:
flat as a pancake
flat tyre
the party was flat
flat broke
flat hat
flat rate
feeling flat
and so on, but l won't bore you anymore...just go and look at the dictionary definition at end of this blog!!If you are that bored!Hax
I didn't go out of the ..ha!..flat today until it was dark. I was so busy today but also feeling quite flat (!) as well. Honestly l didn't use these words because of "my word today", they just came naturally..very weird. Anyway, as l was rambling on, it was dark when l left home and l was wondering how l was going to be able to complete today's challenge. I was walking down Wildcroft rd because the bus had not came, thinking about Flat. All the above words and phrases came into my mind. I went passed flat windows in cars, flat sheets of glass at the bus stop and flat bus notice boards. The pavement was flat in places but all these were very boring and in this lack of light not very thrilling to view either.
I started to remember the TV programme l watched last night about a dig in China and all the amazing finds they had dug up. This lead me to think about how people, in say 1000 years time would view things we discard. This was the way my mind was wandering, when l noticed something shinning, in the gutter. It had been caught in the headlights of a passing car. There on the road, lying across a drain cover was my image. A McDonalds disposable drinks cup , complete with top and straw, still attached but flat. Perfect!

  1. Okay, I am having fun with your images. I have found it best to read first and not be tempted to scroll to the image. That way the image has more impact and meaning.
    I do this the other way round with abstract art. I avoid reading the title and try to make up my own mind what the work is all about.
