Why FishNet?
The name was chosen by a helpful sub-editor because it seemed to him that it cleverly combined the subject matter, with our seaside location. ;-)
For convenience sake, I have transferred my photo blog and a few other bits and pieces to this location as well. There are some older posts whose illustrations were lost in a move from Blogger to WordPress, and some broken links here and there, which shouldn't affect the overall usability of the Blog much, if at all.

Talky talky
Found online at the Daily Telegraph: I wonder what this lady was saying? “Hello, I’m upside down.” ??? Or maybe it was a true-for-a-change version of the old lie, “I’m stuck in traffic.” Make that really, really stuck!”
