Sweet Mystery

This arrived back into my orbit today out of the blue and after a near forty-year absence! God I remember being able to solve this in a minute or so, with my eyes closed, back in the day but now I've to start all over again. 

There's knack I know - but finding it is the problem.

Still, challenge grudgingly accepted!

(Maybe) more soon ...

Right, first step, remove all stickers!

Snotgreen Seas

First noticing the sea's colour, and then taking a shot of it near Sandymount Strand this morning, I was reminded of my first time reading the opening chapter of Joyce's Ulysses and being amazed and amused to hear the sea being described thusly:

"- God, he said quietly. Isn't the sea what Algy calls it: a great sweet mother? The snotgreen sea. The scrotumtightening sea. Epi oinopa ponton."

As a snot-nosed student I remember that gave me a big laugh, as much for finally understanding something after five long pages as it was for its originality! 

Now, of course, it's all as clear to me as ... eh, snotgreen dishwater!

More soon ...

The self same sea!
