A mer woman

Not one to be messed with; This is the mythical mermaid, and unlike the normal spritish representation (such as that found in Copenhagen) this is a warrior, a mean nasty-looking piece of work, like Pat Butcher on steroids. She is one of three mermaid statues to be found in Warsaw, and apparently in Polish folklore she helped a young prince rescue two boys named Wars and Saw - hence the name.

Debated sitting up all night to comment on the US presidential slugfest, but I've been feeling pretty rough today. Rented a device called a "Rugdoctor" from Focus to clean our filthy carpet and it's great but tiring. So illness, being tired, and just seeing an advert for a film called "Zack and Miri make a porno" which looks to be one of the most execrable movies ever created, are enough to send me to bed.
