So, instead of grinding my fingers to the bone working today I spent
an inordinate amount of time browsing the internet looking for work by
one of my favourite artists, Hiroshige.
In the course of my labours I came across this, which you might find
an interesting diversion, if you have a full in-tray that you can't be
arsed to deal with:

It's no wonder the global financial system's collapsing.

Didn't know you were a Hiroshige fan, Bob. One of the very nice ladies
who lets us borrow her quilts for our annual quilt shows has a couple
of what appear to be relatively early Hiroshige prints she purchased
in Japan after the Big War. I was over at her house about a month ago,
and we went so far as to take them down from the wall so we could
examine them more closely.
It was great fun, and at one point she said she might give me one, but
she is quite elderly and somewhat forgetful/scattered at times, and
I'd hate to think I was taking advantage of her.
Still...
I've found a couple of her works online. In this one, you can see some
Hiroshige influence:
