Blank Canvas

When this pristine painted hoarding was put up to enclose the ongoing work to convert part of the old Royal Infirmary into the Edinburgh Futures Institute, I did think it was going to be a huge attraction for the graffiti artists to use as a large blank canvas.
This blip is the first one and I don’t know what to make of it. Is there a hidden message that this lady has not understood? To my knowledge, it is innocuous but I may be an innocent abroad.

The theologian and historian Thomas Fuller wrote ‘It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth’ and that seems to be how I feel this week. A certain ennui has set in with me just as things are about to begin opening up. I can’t explain it but I am hoping my joie de vivre returns soon.

There was too much sitting around today but it was good to find a Merry Widow on my doorstep after an afternoon walk to shake of the malaise, and when she departed, daughter #1 phoned, making a sociable ending to the day.
