Pestle and mortar

Thank you for all your comments on my blip from last night. It was such a happy picture and they are a great couple. Everyone is looking forward to the wedding in June.

As usual I have had no time to get a decent blip today so I took this close up of a wee pestle and mortar that takes pride of place on my book shelf. I got it from my Auntie Min, but as Uncle Ian was a pharmacist, I presume it was originally his. It is really tiny and the main part of it, the mortar, is only one inch in height.

Alarm set for three thirty tomorrow again, I do like early shifts because it should still be daylight when I finish.
