Some tiny flowers in a multitude of colours…

I had to go to the Rohais surgery for a blood test so popped into Waitrose which is right next door. I bought a couple of bottles of wine, a Gerwurztraminer and a Viognier and a reduced price fruit couscous
I didn’t buy any flowers because I thought it better to spend my money on the wine.
There’s a dolphin at the surgery called Dr Delphi so I put a pic of him in extras.

My saying of the day is ‘cat on a hot tin roof’ which was suggested by 60 plus 10 https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/3373711836028338436
The saying "like a cat on a hot tin roof" originates from Tennessee Williams' 1955 play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. While the play popularized the phrase, the image of a restless cat on a hot surface is an older idiom, possibly rooted in the British phrase "like a cat on hot bricks". 

In the play, the phrase is used to describe the character Maggie, who feels trapped and restless in her marriage and social situation. She is described as "a cat on a hot tin roof" because she is unable to be still and is constantly moving and agitated, like a cat on a hot surface. The phrase gained widespread popularity through the play and is now a common idiom to describe someone who is highly agitated or restless. 

The phrase's popularity can be attributed to its use in Tennessee Williams' play, which was a critical and commercial success. The image of a cat on a hot tin roof is a vivid and memorable metaphor for a restless and uneasy state.
