Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
Oh! My! Goodness! Nothing serious l hope! :(.
ReplyDeleteI hate hospitals...even visiting, makes me feel unwell..still, as long as there are plenty of grapes about l'm o.k. :).
So..according to the weather people, to~day is the official first day of Spring..What do they know..!
Staying home to~day, let the snow do it's thing, orange alert tomorrow! Got things to do around the place, got house plants to see to...! Hope l don't run out of lemon tea! :).
Medical testing is such a chore! I hope you get the answers you are hoping for!
ReplyDeleteIt was a testing day, literally and metaphorically! Having spent too much of last year with my head in an MRI scanner, I was not best pleased to find myself back at Royal Bournemouth yesterday for a chest X-ray! It seems likely the persistent hacking cough, wheezing, breathlessness and tight chest I've had since before Christmas is 'just' asthma - but they want to be sure, and I'm eternally grateful for our NHS, and for their checking. Unfortunately the walking involved, the cold outside and crazy heat inside etc set me off into quite an episode which was stressful and upsetting.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, daughter Rebecca was having her theory and practical exams for her spray certificate. Due to the weather this involved her driving on icy rural roads for the first time just to get there, bearing with a completely knackered exam schedule, and doing her practical in conditions so cold and windy the spray kept freezing in the lance and she was all but hypothermic by the end.
Neither Gary nor I were at our best by the evening, so it was a difficult day!
Still, Beck passed her exam (clever girl!), and hopefully I'll find out next week that I have done too ......
Asthma is a pain but very treatable in most cases so that's good.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Rebecca both for passing and surviving the day
It runs in the family - another reason to suspect that's what it is - so I'm confident it'll be once it's officially diagnosed and brought under control. At the moment though it certainly is a pain. I normally live outside and that's not really happening just now I normally love to sleep and that's not really happening. And I would say it's interfering with work, but at the moment that's not such an issue!! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for Beck, thank you, I'll pass that on. She's a bright girl with plenty of grit, so we were reasonably confident, but the conditions certainly didn't make it easy and she seems to have got quite a chill. Fortunately, as a firm, we're going nowhere in this weather anyhow so she's been able to stay snug and warm at home, bless! :)
