I’m back!
In the first photo, you may notice, top right, the little ‘pixie cap’ on one of the yet-to-open Californian Poppies. The short video shows the little bit of magic that I witnessed this morning, the pixie cap hovering in the air. It seems that a silk thread from a spider making her web, caught the little piece as it left the bloom and then the breeze kept it moving in the air, apparently freely, for hours. 
It was my first trip in a week to the allotment this evening and there were crops to harvest, some rather large! Thank you very much to S who has been watering our tomatoes while we’ve been out of action.
A bunch of lovely words came my way today, some I knew already, though I only learned columella nasi last week as that is where I had my surgery. I am mending well and I thank you all for your concern and kindness. My favourite of the words new to me is ‘overmorrow.’ I am hoping to feel right to go to choir overmorrw (i.e. on Thursday!)
Some new words

Am using ‘wamble’ someday down the road. The sound of a hungry nautical beast.
It was magical. Good eye and good sense to capture.

Thanks. I’ll be trying use lots of those words. Another I especially like is interrobang. 🙂

You’re going to use interrobang?! Two can play that game.

Thank you, Ute. I am resting and being looked after but I do hate doing nothing! However, I am reading a lot and loving the next volume of Ken Follett’s trilogy. I’m learning much that I should have known. 🙂
