Another, on completion of lent, had ordered himself a brand new, super shiny MacPro. Delivered this morning, the device then passed the day sat enthroned on a neighbouring desk, looking for all the world like an aluminium idol to a minimalist god.

Forsaking the dubious pleasures of rabid dogs or totemic turings, I spun a new desktop theme from Jon Foster's wonderful new cover for Precious Dragon. Here's a brief glimpse:

I just love the way the hands are reaching up from behind the curtain — something I didn't notice until after I'd made it my backdrop. Talk about supremely cool.

Precious Dragon is the title of a forthcoming novel (http://www.nightshadebooks.com/book.aspx?bookid=159) by the ever fabulous Liz Williams while the image I snarfed for my background is Jon Foster's rather wonderful dust jacket illustration.
