Lyre (hollow)

[heleninwales]

8/52 for the group 2026 Weekly Alphabet Challenge

This week's theme was: H is for Hollow

If a lyre wasn't hollow, it wouldn't make a proper musical sound, just a tinny plink.



I really ought to get back to playing it, but I've been waiting for warmer weather because the most suitable room isn't usually heated during the day.

Also, bonus photo of little tête-a-tête daffodils. I bought some of these little daffodils in pots last year and had them by the front door. When they finished flowering, I planted the bulbs out into the garden -- and they came up again this year! I'm surprised and delighted. Normally I am Death To Plants.



In other news...

Today is actually sunny. I want to venture out for a short walk, but I also have various things I want to do because I have meetings tomorrow and Monday so will lost two half days. I just wish we'd be allowed more than one fine day per week.

So much earlier than here. April 30 is the median date on the photos around the house prior to daffodils ingestion by the roaming ungulates.

February/March is daffodil time here, depending on how sheltered and how much sun they receive. But usually we have a decent display for 1 March which is St David's day. David being the patron saint of Wales and the daffodil is our national flower.
