Nowadays the papers and talking heads are always questioning the value of pure thought in what ever form it comes.   Everything must have a purpose otherwise why should we the taxpayers pay for it they thunder.   Well I made this little doodle this morning whilst talking to my good friend on the phone  – it was based on some scribbled notes I made about a new book I’m working on and so as my friend talked I noticed that it looked like a cliff edge so I let my mind drift just a little more and low and behold I produced this.

Now I am not claiming that it is great art or saved one person’s life (it certainly didn’t cost the taxpayer one penny) but it pleased me so that is important – I’m sure my friend won’t mind that I did some absent minded doodling whilst we talked…seems like men can do more than one thing at a time after all.   Now that is an argument I really don’t want to get into – haha.
