Nuada the Knocker

So, it's been a day of double pain, with my lower back still painful from the spasm, and the intimate male area still sore as well. Getting out of bed was a real struggle, and while I'm ok when I'm walking, sitting down and standing up and requires a block and tackle to successfully achieve.

But, it has been a nice day to wander around the river and photograph the sights on the river; plenty of traffic now that summer is here and the dry dock is busy working on the various working tugs and dredgers that keep the river navigable.

Wonder how you get a job driving one?

So, I met my sister in town in the afternoon and we had a look on the bric a brac stalls on the market, much loved by the  local steampunks. My sister spotted a lovely Celtic looking door knocker, which to me looks like some sort of representation of the Celtic sun god Nuada.

Nuada is the god that Christopher Lee sacrificed Edward Woodward to in the film "The Wicker Man". Should have bought the knocker to make unwelcome visitors to my new flat fear the same fate!
