anteros_lmcHow cute is this? Boaty wallpaper!
I think this looks like the kind of wallpaper Mr Bush would use to decorate Hornblower's cabin ;)
I rather like the boat in the picture too, though I'm not sure about the purple sea! Ohoy wallpaper from Swedish design company Fine Little Day.

There were curtains and cushions — stuffed with oakum — and a coverlet, all gay with
red and blue roses and green leaves painted on with ship's paint by some unknown artist in the ship's
company.

"That, my friend, is a moomin."
"Well just as long as it doesn't try to eat my hat..."

*happily imagines Moominmamma wielding her black handbag towards any froward seaman! *g*

'Well, sir,' said Seymour, 'there is the sprightly penguin, for example, and the remigium piece, and later on there is the rosy-fingered dawn.'
'Well, no doubt it is very fine: but how in Heaven's name do you expect the examining captains to swallow two sprightly penguins, one after another? It is against nature.
