Smash and Scatteration

It's that time of year again, when the sun finally gets far enough round the corner of the house to shine through the window in the back door and make that smash and scatteration pattern all over the wall, where it reflects off the chrome of the kettle.  Those little clouds are bits of steam from the recently-boiled kettle catching the light.  And, yes, I'm afraid the kitchen has gone another year with bare undecorated plaster.
