    I like the 'clip art' sign - doesn't look as if it will fall down with all that blue tack.

    I just noticed that picture on the wall. I just might take a break now. :D Well..after I do the laundry, put the kids to bed, finish those dishes in the sink, comment on blogs, clean the bathroom and make lunches. Nevermind..no breaks in the near future for me. :D

    I Think the sign is actually saying "use an ashtray" It must have been put there by the guy who lives below that window!

    Happy birthday - even though it's many days back now.
    I like this break-shot. It has a very calm atmposhere and you look relaxed. Your thoughts somewhere else . A real break from the daily strife.
    Thanks for visiting Ståles safaris so often. It's really appreciated! Makes me wonder whether I should post bilingual...
