the word for 26.01.2010 is WRITING

Today's word is WRITING. There are many photographs that l could use to demonstrate this word, around the house and around the area! Anyway, as l am spending most of today indoors because of work commitments, so l am using an image of a few days ago. Another reason l am using an old image is because l have been unwell the last few days, so have been unable to go and take new images. But if you are one of the few who say they read me...you will know l have hundreds of images l could use!Hax
Anyway, the image l have chosen, is for many resaons. One... it has writing on it, secondly... it is an item we see everyday and thirdly...most of us hold one or the other in our hands at least once aday. Concerning the coffee cup, do you really look at what your coffee cup has on the outside? You maybe asking yourself, "Who cares?" If that was the case, why do companies pay so much for their cups to stand out. Also if the cup decoration doesn't matter, why do they bother? My idea is that the colour, style of writing and the smell is all to do with the whole concept of the Brand! Next time you drink your "Nero's" coffee, think about this...Would it taste the same in a mug or white cup, instead of the Blue Nero's take away cup?
Also most of use read a newspaper most days. What ever would we do without writing?um!
