There's no settled view on what Goya's painting depicts but with the people in the foreground fleeing in panic it called to mind the terrible events in Zimbabwe. The painting itself was also in the news this week.....

The gigantic naked arse is hidden in clouds and yet it is advancing remoreslessly towards the powerless folk on the shore one of whom appears to be reading the Economist.....

I prescribe a cold shower and the collected speeches of Margaret Thatcher.

Sweet dreams
