Sunday In The Kitchen

As the Captain said, this could be a picture of the surface of the moon, taken from the porthole of the lunar module.

It is in fact, a picture of the mud, taken from the porthole of our Little Ship's kitchen.

The kitchen isn't ACTUALLY listing - that's my photography.  True North, John, professional architectural photographer, will be appalled. 

After another busy day at work Henry (MGP) was worn out.
