Reprieve

This wee fellow has been sitting on my mantelpiece for a year or so.
His silhouette is thrown by the light of my conch shell lamp.

As you might have guessed I was blipless, just about to turn in and thought he'd do.

I love the way small children come up to me in the playground and whisper, "I found this!", as though it's the most precious thing they could ever imagine.

Of course, most of these objects are popped into my pocket, only to be found when I go through them before a wash.
Most don't survive, but because of my fondness for Lego, this one's had a reprieve.
