Clutching at . . .

A friend popped over for early coffee and then dropped me off at the hospital for my X-ray.  Not the most comfortable five minutes but done and dusted now, wait for results and see what next. It was pleasantly cool so I decided to stroll home.  
I did not have the camera with me so at home I found the straws and decided they would do for today's pattern blip. Such wonderful colours.
