A Tribute to Scintilla

It was my turn today to host the meeting of the Music Group. It was touch and go to whip the house into shape, but I just about managed it, pouring myself a stiff G&T at 12.55 pm, with people due to arrive at 1.00. We had a great session, with a nicely varied selection of music. We retired to the local pub afterwards for bevvies and chat and out-of-the-corner-of-the-eye glances at progress in the Ireland-France rugby international (so close, and yet so far for the lads in green -- better in the second half, but still only a pale shadow of the team which set the pitch alight last season).

After tidying up and washing up when I got back home I decided to try for a blip in case nothing presented itself later on while I'm out for a night on the town with my mate Alan. I'd taken a notion when setting up for the music session and had dropped a little blue LED light into the bottom of a cut-glass bowl on the side table, more as a talking point than anything else. I took a few shots of that, but none of them looked as I would have liked. So I picked the best of the bunch, thought it looked a likely candidate, and decided to try my hand at producing something inspired by our resident Kakeidoscope Maestro. So this is my humble tribute to Scintilla.
