The word for 22.1.2010 is COLLECTION

>>Today's word is COLLECTION. I could have taken many images for today's word with out leaving my home! I am a collector of everything and anything..or so my family say!  So after several clients today, l went back up to Waterloo for another client. The train was packed and there was standing- room only. It was not a pleasant experience and l was not in a good mood by the time l got off the train. Fighting my way to the barrier, l saw from the corner of my eye, a trolley full of brightly coloured throw away coffee cups. There is a God! Suddenly my day seemed a lot better because l had my image! But then l had to make sure none of the guards could see me. Reason being, it is illegal to take photographs in or on Waterloo Station. Luckily no-one saw me and so l had my image!
