    Here's a selfie I took at sundown on the town wall of Lucca, during a cycle ride around the top of the wall... (I think it's my favourite town in the world).




    The figure silhouetted on the red roof at the bottom of the photo is yours truly plus bicycle.



    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Ah - think I've almost got it - something like the "the finances of the company have improved recently and are now moving firmly into the African American"!
      FF used to have one of those that replaced the name of a well known arboreal university with something else

        Rembrandt was obsessed with painting himself. He always strikes me as a good bloke.
