Altered Images

 

I once had a thing

about mirrors ..

But lately, they just

disappoint ..

On reflection they

skew and distort me

then portray me

in such a very bad light ..

        Its probably just the swelling .. wait till it goes down then she'll be all over you

        😇The brain (and I'm fully aware that I'm trying to teach grannie to suck eggs here, Neville) interprets the world as it will....My mirror shows me a young fella (no older than 35) with a broad grin and all the optimism in the world...You'd have a word for that - I do believe it begins with 'D', but I'm happy with that.....

          Duhh' don't be daft mate, I like the way yours works Dave .. Neville

          lol 🤣 I bet it would be worse if it was upside down dear Nev. Mirrors have a lot to answer for. You made me chuckle 🤭

                  You’re kind and generous the way you set em up. But thank you

                  N, you need to open the other eye too. 20/20 vision goes a long way. But well penned my lyrical friend. 😁👍

                    Ah' .. now I see where I have been going wrong .. I thought the glass was half empty .. but it seems it was was full of me, all along .. Neville

                      And that's a glass full of some heavy-duty stuff. Drink responsibly. 😉

                      Lol. Very relatable. Great work.
