I love a bargain so we snapped up the Shower Gel three for one offer when we were doing our on-line supermarket shop. I had to giggle when we were unpacking our delivery to discover three tiny travel size gels. Should have checked the bottle sizes! At some point we will venture back out to the supermarket but on-lining shopping has made us quite lazy, it’s so easy just doing the weekly shop from the comfort of your armchair.
The weather remains unseasonably cold for this time of year. Our bicycles are still covered up in the garage so we are trying to keep fit with our line dancing. This should really come with a health warning - two days ago Paul got a bit carried away doing the Jerusalema and fell over the dog. Rick is okay but Paul has now got a very painful wrist. My dancing sessions resume at the village hall later this month but my husband is not going to accompany me!
When I was pulling a few weeds out earlier in the week I found this poppy
head skeleton. I was fascinated at the
delicacy of its structure and couldn’t resist bringing it indoors and painting
the poppy with some glittery varnish.

| Kangeroo Steve thinks it's quite exquisite! |
Yes, I really do need to get out more.
How creative to use the poppy head in that way - it looks inspired - you are clever... even if you did get the shower gel wrong!
ReplyDeleteCan't be perfect all the time!
DeleteIs Paul limp-wristed now?
ReplyDeleteNo, he's brave and fearless as ever.
DeleteAdorable bottom photo!
ReplyDeleteSteve had his paws out just waiting for a gift.
DeleteTuesday is my shopping day. I noticed this morning that Leclerc had some Sharwood's Mango Chutney; so I bought the lot!
ReplyDeleteHow many jars did you buy?
Delete3. That's all they had. They may never have it again!
DeleteI love the poppy head. It inspires me to plant some poppies in with the lupins. x
ReplyDeleteI like the big oriental poppies, they would look good with lupins.
DeleteI love your skeleton poppy head I often find skeleton leaves under my magnolia bush they are so delicate. Isn't nature truly marvelous.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is a wonderful artist.
DeleteThe poppy head is beautiful. Have you seen Celestine and the Hare's Lightbringers? x
ReplyDeleteI've just looked it up - what magical creations and writing!
DeleteLovely chatty, newsy post today - just right for a wet day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.
DeleteYou do look on the bright side of all your experiences. Hope Paul can see the funny side of his little "accident".
ReplyDeleteHe didn't think it was very funny at the time!
DeleteThe poppy head is a lovely find and the glitter varnish makes it pop. Sounds like Rick wanted to step in to the dance party. I hope Paul's wrist heals quickly. It sounds sore.
ReplyDeleteRick always wants to join in when we dance.
DeletePoor Paul - it's so easy to get carried away when dancing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful find Celestine and the Hare's Lightbringers is, and just the thing to cheer on a dreary day.
The poppy head is an inspiration, and something Steve's paws have been crying out for ever since you made him.
It was just the perfect fit for Steve's little paws.
DeleteI love the addition to your sculpture. I am always noticing nature and how amazing the details are. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteI was just fascinated by the delicate and intricate structure of the poppy, it's like a miniature cage.
DeleteTravel Gel and you can't even go on holiday!
ReplyDeleteLove the poppy head, clever you.
Paul I thought I was the one that always fell over!
I was more worried about Rick getting squashed!
DeleteJust read that you had been planning to go to the Farmers' Market in Gainsborough - my father was born there.
