We have an old tungsten lamp in our shed, I don’t think my camera is used to the colour temperature!

Archimedes is credited with the invention of the worm gear drive around 264 BC. The modern worm gear adjustable wrench, or spanner, was patented in 1891.
Shot for Our Daily Challenge :“Worm's-eye View”
When my friend Michael Freethy was over on holidays from America last year we would often go for breakfast to the Sugar Mountain cafe in the beautiful village of Roundwood about 4 miles away from where I live. Within five minutes of leaving my place this is the view from the top of Ballinslaughter Hill. There are about 8 mountains that suddenly appear all along the horizon. This one is Mullaghcleevaun and it has a wonderful corrie loch on top it.

We stopped the car every time and took photos but its tricky as they dont always turn out great. This one is ok and I took it last February. I was up there during the week looking at the view as I never grow tired of it. Its isolation at its finest!
Roundwood is the highest village in Ireland at 238m above sea level. To qualify as the highest village it must have a post office and Roundwood does. A very quaint one. Mike posted some cards home from it. I wonder did they ever arrive?
Id always think to myself that we would only be about an hour in the Cafe but it never worked out like that as that place somehow just gets to you and we would end up chatting and looking out the window at the beautiful place that it is, and eating apple pie and drinking gallons of tea on top of a fry up till we were stuffed!
You cant buy that really. I wonder how many people have a view like this to look at when they are going to the cafe for breafast! Im lucky and I know it! Lets hope it all opens up again soon!
Michael hasnt climbed this mountain yet but hoperully we will when he makes it over. Fingers crossed.
And the title? Its nothing to do with Breakfast kind of, but is the rhythm that the traditional Irish Reel that is played in 4/4 time.
Anyway, I hope you like the photo as its one of my favourite views and heres the Corrs " making more noise than a bag of spanners " [Terry Wogan ] live at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin. Poor Jim Corr!

Der Hartheu-Spanner erreicht eine Größe von etwa 35 bis 45 Millimetern. Die Art ist tagaktiv und für einen Vertreter aus der Familie der Spanner relativ groß, wodurch sie bei flüchtiger Betrachtung für einen Weißling gehalten werden kann. Ein sicheres Unterscheidungsmerkmal sind die fadenförmigen Fühler des Hartheu-Spanners, während diese bei Tagfalter keulenförmig ausgebildet sind. Auch im Flugverhalten unterscheidet er sich von den Weißlingen. Die Tiere ruhen in der niederen Vegetation und fliegen nur wenige Meter wenn sie aufgescheucht werden. Von ähnlichen Spannern unterscheidet er sich durch eine kontrastreiche dunkle Äderung der Flügel.

For Macro Monday - Hexagon
An old Tube Spanner that is going rusty
Happy Macro Monday!
'Well, excuthse me, pleathse, for thshlurring. But you thsee my probothsciths'sh full of nectar. Anyway, thiths'sh not for you yet. I'm not making a moral point but juthst one of fact. Onthce you've turned from a Thspanner Caterpillar into a fine Geometer Moth, your stongue will be thsuited for thisth thsweet thstuff. Meanwhile you'll have to make do with your diet of leavesth.'
'Yes, Ma'am Honeybee, I understand and I know my own crawling body. And once I metamorphise into fluttering I'll be enjoying what I can't possibly like now. I'm still eating only greens, here those of Cape Bugloss, rather rough to my taste - as the Ancients already said - but beggars can't be choosers.'
Thus a short exchange Olymp overheard as he was watching this little scene.
This wonderful blue flower hails from the Cape of South Africa; it was first mentioned for Europeans by Carl Peter Thunberg (1743-1828), a familiar of these pages. It was described more fully in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1815-1816.

Nothing slimy, just the worm gear that moves the jaw on an adjustable wrench.
The basic concept of the ubiquitous tool, worm gear-driven jaw and all, has been around for over a century and a half.
Macro Monday - Anything goes and I have gone to my workshop again for this adjustable spanner/wrench.
Geelpurperen spanner - purple-bordered gold moth (Idaea muricata).
Very tiny indeed and very skittish. The wingspan is less than 20mm. Very rare in The Netherlands. First upload of this species.
