The foot still hurts, but I’m feeling a lot more cheerful and I’m actually starting to think again, even though it’s only a couple of hours from my last post. Julia says I’m also looking pink again after several days of looking grey.
While I was in the surgery this afternoon, despite having a book in my pocket, I just didn’t have the energy to read it. This is much more of an indicator of my wellbeing than a temperature measurement, because, as we saw earlier, I didn’t actually notice I had a temperature.
I’ve been missing my photography recently so I’ve decided to post a few of my favourite photos.
The featured image is one of the mice off a wheatsheaf loaf. I always liked making them, both the loaves and the mice. It’s actually very simple, though I never did get the knack of drying them out properly, so they had a tendency to curl up and go mouldy.

Little and Large!
I couldn’t do without a picture of the Odd Couple. I haven’t been able to visit for a few weeks now, but I’ll be going as soon as I can walk.

Nuthatch at Rufford Abbey
I like Nuthatches, and we had a good day at Rufford on this particular day. In fact we’ve never had a better day photographing birds in the woods at Rufford. However, I live in hope.

Julia at Clumber Park
There are other subjects for photography apart from birds, wives for instance. This is a particularly fine example, and I would probably have starved to death if she hadn’t been here to look after me over the last few weeks.

I forget the name of this one, but it’s quite impressive.
I’m going to miss the garden this year, it was so easy to pop out when the sun shone. Our own garden needs a bit of work after being ignored for years.

Right place, right time
I may have to enhance the rainbow, but it’s still a favourite shot of mine.
More photographs in a day or two.
Hope all is OK over there with your foot. Give our best to Julia.
The foot, as my next post will show, became less of a priority…
I am pleased that you are feeling better and your photographic exhibition made me feel good too.
Thanks. 🙂
I liok all the photos but the mouse takes the biscuit
Thank you. I developed a reliable mouse building technique over the years. 🙂
Enjoyed the photographs so much! But best of all was hearing that you are on the mend.
h, it turns out I may have been too optimistic.
Glad to hear you’re in better spirits and i love the photos. Say HI to the odd couple when you go!
Will do. Hoping to get there soon.
Glad to see you’re on the mend.
Next installment to follow…
A nice assortment of favorite photos, Quercus. Hope your foot heals soon so you can get out and about with Julia.
It may be a while yet, as I have another problem now. 🙂
You do seem much better! The photos are very nice and three cheers for Julia! Take care, Simon 🙂
Calm before the storm I’m afraid.
Oh dear 🙁
