It looks like the hole is too big for the plug and it has come loose. I like to use what are called Walldriller anchors. They are a plug that has a screw base on it. I find they hold much better and they are larger so they will fill the hole you already have.

I don't remember the year, but the only eclipse I ever saw was in the spring, more than 25 years ago. Neither DH nor I were thinking about it, but an eclipse was already underway when we walked out of the shop in a garden center. It wasn't only dark, it got quite chilly, too. There was a hush -- birds and insects reacting, I suppose. It took my breath away, something I only realized when I began to breathe again as the sun was revealed. I was truly awed -- the more so for not having expected it.
Roxol, it isn't that I am not interested in the eclipse. I will watch what I can from where I live. It is just at my age (77) and all the animals I take care of, even a day trip is not something I look forward to. It is a hassle and I stay home now as much as possible. But I have plenty to do, and things I enjoy, so I am happy to do it.
