Friday at the Flicks - A Couple of Twirly Things

There really has been a dearth of butterflies hereabouts this year. Even with the recent spell of good weather I have seen a total of four in as many days. The only one I managed to video was this solar powered one in the local churchyard:




Some years ago a friend gave me a Minnie the Minx Windmill in case I should find a use for it as a garden ornament. Well, I finally plucked it from the Round Tuit pile and here it is in all its glory:



Reminds me of one of those pointless prison punishments favoured at one time to keep prisoners occupied.
