It's Monday - it has to be a flower or a dog

Here we go again. The start of the week, and I've spent all day "locked up" again. 
Once more I've had to resort to what is around when I get home - this time an orchid on the window sill - one of the best kind that seemed to die and then resurrect itself. I quite liked this as it looks as though you could travel right along that tube, like a vast cave, whereas in fact it's only very tiny.
I've had dreadful earache all day which has been coming and going in waves. That's my excuse.
