The dried produce from the garden make a lovely arrangement in the garden room .Such a hot day for us in the UK - It peaked 35c yesterday - I flaked out for the afternoon, today it has been forecasted as a little cooler ! much easier to cope with I hope . I am still in much pain with my ankle - must try to contact the GP on Monday - so miserable in constant pain ! Enjoy the Weekend !
Love those balls of poppy heads. Lovely capture. We had an extremely hot day yesterday, too, but it is slightly better today. Hope your ankle is already somewhat better.
When I bring mine in, they never look that gorgeous. I put them in a tall vase and Hans puts a plastic bag around them to catch the seeds.hope your ankle pain will subside soon. I injured my ankles both a few times and know the pain. I do ankle exercises every day to keep them pliable.
Beryl I’m so sorry. Do you know what is wrong with your ankle? Your doctor should be able to give you something for the pain so it doesn’t hurt all the time. Your dried arrangement is beautiful!
@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann - its been going on for over 2 years now - at first was treated for plantar fascia have had couple on injections helped in the 1st instance , was referred to the podiatrist only saw him once - the 2nd app was cancelled due to the corovirus !! he detected osteoarthritis as well ! So at the moment , painkillers , rest , exercise , hot ,cold compressions ! 2 elbow crutches ( Which in turn aggravate my back and shoulder !!!!!!! ) Shall phone GP again on Monday !! - the trouble is at the moment only phone consultations ! aaaargh !
Yes only phone consultations here too. Sounds strange they think you need a podiatrist Beryl. I didn’t know plantar fasciitis affected ankles! I thought it was mostly your heel. Have they suggested an ex ray ever? Constant pain is so wearing....I don’t know how you stand it for that long...I think your doctor needs to buck up! Has anyone ever mentioned a steroid injection?
Such a variety of dried seed pods there, they make a wonderful display.
@happypat Over the years Pat I have had a steroid injection twice - but then more in the under foot - plantar fascia 2nd time it didn't work much ! perhps if I hd n injection in the ankle joint ,it would work !
The ankle pain must be very draining for you. I hope you were a more comfortable in today’s lower temperature. Your dried flower arrangement is beautiful and how lovely that they are all from your garden.
I sympathise Beryl, I've had that too. V painful. I was sent to a podiatrist and have had ortho insoles ever since. Worked for me. Good luck! Love those alliums.
@beryl Second opinion time perhaps! Like me we never want to make a fuss, I say plenty but when the crunch comes I keep quiet. My friend on the other hand really pushes her case. & somehow seems to have got to the top of the queue for her op at the age of ninety!! She’s a fit as a flea but no putting to back of queue for her!
Extremely hot here yesterday too. Sorry to hear about your pain.

Some heat records has been broken yet here.
So sorry. Take good care of yourself.
