The word for Tuesday 06.04.2010 is PERCHED

Today's word is Perched. I have always liked the sound of this word ever since l was a young child. Why?... l have no idea but l remember when l was about 10 years old, repeating the word over and over because it sounded nice! The word normally means to me, to be a bird sitting on something like a branche or a gate post. Another meaning for the word, was in a piece in the Daily Mail newspaper today. It was about Samantha Cameran and showed her, perched on the back of the seatee, watching her husband at his desk. The image l have chosen to illustrate this word,  is of a jackdaw ( l think!)  perched on the back of a memoriel bench, next to Barnes village pond.

I am going away tomorrow for about 5 days, to where l may not have inter-net access all the time. So l will blog when l can but l should be back permanently on April 12.xx
