Little Fountain

In today's mail arrived this cadeau from the lovely Mnemosyne and her family...

The most fetching little tabletop fountain, stone orb on coppery base, with a scattering of smooth pebbles all around...

Is it, perchance, la fontaine de jouvence? No matter, its low soothing gurgle is just the thing to get me into that zen-like mood, especially at the end of a day like today (lots of work, plus teaching an evening class which finished close to ten pm).

Thank you and lots of squishy hugs, Gemma!
