22 January... A day of decadence...

After a brief flurry of clearing up & a bit of housework, I've spent the rest of the day
(well up till school run time at 3pm) lying on the sofa just... well... wallowing really!

And tonight my photography class is being dumped in favour of a long hot bath and an early night -
hence the bubbles - I was deciding which bath oil to wallow in & spent a happy
half hour tipping the bottle up... and down again, watching the bubbles!

Today was supposedly Blue Monday - the very worst Monday of the year,
but I think I've managed to get through it OK! Tomorrow? Back to the daily grind...!
Just can't wait!

Image best viewed in Medium as it's not sharp enough - the bubbles kept moving!! ;o)

Sounds like a grand plan to me...well, all but blowing off the photo course. That would be great way to end my day. Enjoy the bath!

Olive oil works great for those bubble shots. But mine didn't come out nearly as interesting as your image. Nice lazy day shot.

Wow! Great macro! And it works in B&W except I suppose it was bright purple or something!?

On a positive note: If today was Blue Monday, then the only way is up!
