Somehow

this flower snuk into my garden.

Is it a poppy, is it a tulip. Don’t know. But it’s stunning. Velvety reds, yellows, like a butterfly. It blew in from some other garden or a bird dropped a seed as a gift.

All I know is that it is beautiful and it is very welcome.

Early swim, walk, dolphins (yes) post office (on pensions day - holy moly) to send a big parcel to my beloved grand child in Mayo for her 6th birthday.

Visited my Mammy - preparations being made for her upcoming 101st birthday - and discussed how important chat-between-women-is.

And then … to make y’all chuckle. Can we talk about mis heard lyrics. I defy y’all to say I’m wrong. But

‘So high over Benidorm’

Yep. Think I’m right.
