When push comes to Shrove.

This is a pancake.

Today is Shove Tuesday.

See, everything makes sense here on Bitsnbobs.

The pancake, when I took the picture, was in Seattle; shortly after taking the picture it was in my daughter’s stomach.

Now that’s a place I would like to be right now……. Er……… Seattle that is, not my daughter’s stomach.

Then again if someone offered me rebirth today, I would be tempted.

No. Actually I wouldn’t.

But I would like to be in Seattle, or somewhere else.

Somewhere else in fact, as Seattle – as I wrote here – reminds me of Croydon.

So the pancake photo could be seen as a metaphor for wanting to be somewhere else.

Then again it could just be seen as symbolising Shove Tuesday.

Take your pick.

Anywhichway; tomorrow is the start of Lent, so if I can’t give up being here and being somewhere else instead I’ll have to find something else to give up.
