At the risk of being boring, I am offering another sad old tulip for today's blip. I adore the colour of this one, and the petals still have such a beautiful texture. I took this at about 10 past midnight to be sure that there would still be some petals on it - not sure what it's looking like this morning as I haven't been downstairs yet, but I suspect that's your lot for now.

I need to go and give myself a pep talk now while I have my cup of tea. I am on the last module of my library degree and I need to get on with it today so that I don't miss the deadline of finishing at the end of March (at least, I think that's the dealine but I seem to have mislaid the bit of paper that I had written the date on).
