Calm scene . . .
That was quicker than I expected. I had a double appointment between 10.30 and 10.50. Because I didn’t need it all, even with a blood pressure check, and a stop at the pharmacy, I was actually back home by 10.53. The lump on my arm is benign, though he is going to get a second opinion. The urology problem is, as I pointed out, almost self-healed after waiting two weeks for the appointment. I should be followed up soon and may as well see a urology specialist if there is still a problem, rather than talk to a GP who doesn’t really know much about it.
My blood pressure, even after two attempts, remained resolutely normal, which made us both happy. Normally it’s high, but then I am normally annoyed about something. Today I was happy, and I imagined the dappled sunlight coming through leaves that marks a woodland glade in late spring. Then I imagined a fawn picking it’s way through the spots of light as they danced along its back, merging with the spots of white that are already there.
Of course, I’m not that good on deer and I’m not sure if they have fawns in late spring, and what species has white spots.
I just checked. It’s a good picture – right time of year and we have species round here that have young with white spots. I’m glad about that, as it’s my “go to” picture for calm things and I wouldn’t want to become concerned about any inaccuracies.
So, for my second post of the morning, I am calm, and my blood pressure is normal.

I am glad to hear your BP is normal, and that you are calm and happy. Lots of changes coming up for you, good ones – new house, decluttering, retirement, more poetry acceptances – all good things.
Looking good. Yes – we have seen fawns in June
One of the benefits of living in the New Forest. 🙂
Love the ducks and the rhododendron. (If that’s what they are?)
Yes, that’s what they are. 🙂
A thoroughly satisfactory outcome. I could tell that you have been more than a bit worried recently so it good that you can relax with your green and pleasant images.
Yes, I’m thinking that it’s time to reset my frame of mind. Shame to waste a life being miserable, when theer is so much I have yet to do.
I would second that thought.
It’s an approach I decided on after analysing your blog posts. Obviously I left out the bits relating to exercise and goat cheese but I’m going to keep the general framework. 🙂
Oh, yay for benign results and low blood pressure readings! I checked back in at a good time. xo
Yes, you did. My best day for some months. 🙂
May it continue, my friend.
So far it seems OK. I really must remember to do sensible stuff though, like limiting cake . . .
(Did you hear a noise like a sad sigh as I said that?) 🙁
LOL – Yes, I did hear it – All the way in New Jersey!
I thought you might. 🙂
Wonderful news about the lump! Phew. Lovely, lovely pictures. In Maine, our deer have fawns with white spots. I have seen many adult deer, but I can’t recall ever seeing fawns.
It was one of those things – I was pretty sure it was OK but then the doubt creeps in . . .
🙂
Oh, yes. Glad it turned out well.
🙂 It always seems to be OK. I am happy to be lucky, even if I’m not 100% healthy.
May the luck continue! And I have found that even with very limited mobility, I can still lead a fulfilling, creative life.
As we can see from your book output. 🙂
