Well, Lens says it's a silver-washed fritillary.

However, it may have taken a bit of a shine to you.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Been in my own little hell since Friday last. Post operative, almost hourly, renal colic since stone laser treatment and stent. Today I passed a small rockery of my own. Man did it hurt, but now I'm feeling a bit better.
Feel wrecked.

Did you keep them? Internal stones can have a strange beauty, there's some fantastic ones in the Surgeon's Halls in London. I suspect not if you passed them though

That's where your late grandma's tea strainer comes in useful.
Milk and sugar?

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
I did have quite a collection, but after nearly forty years of stone passing they have lost their charm. Smidge under 7 mms is my record. Damn near killed me and my left kidney.cheb wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 11:34 pmBuckaroo wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:44 pm Been in my own little hell since Friday last.

I "think" (although, not owning one, I'm not sure) that a Rabbit picking up spaghetti would depend on the depth of the bowl ???

That's the kind of beach I like - but I think if I was at a beach I'd want lots of sun and heat but also a sunshade !!!

Taken last Monday, it was 27C at just before 11. The locals made cunning use of the driftwood to construct shelters

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
That's about perfect - just need a book and a gurt container of drinking water and I could sit in the shade (with forays into the sea!) all dayDruid wrote: Fri Aug 15, 2025 11:17 pmHow about this?Noggin wrote: Fri Aug 15, 2025 2:26 pm

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Guests have left. Very happy with their holiday.
Loved my dog Max and left me a €200 tip
So it will be afternoon by the pool for me with beer, music and sushi
