Glad all over ....

It is that lens again ....this is a close up of a gladioli which is part of a set that are in a vase in the hall. The light from the window is cascading in and creating beautiful colours and tones through the petals of the flowers....

Cool morning and back on full quota of painkillers which gives better relief...so another day in..

On this day in the evening of 21 August 1879, at about 8 o'clock in the evening, fifteen people, witnessed what they claimed was an apparition of several religious figures including the Virgin Mary in the parish church of Knock, County Mayo Ireland. Today there is a shrine there to mark this event. (Thanks to Wikipedia)

Also on this day in 1911 the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre by a gallery employee.
