I’ve fallen by the wayside tonight re black & white February!
I haven’t taken a photo & my heart wouldn’t let me post my lovely flowers from Cathy in mono.
Three good things:
1. We have been to Blackpool Vic hospital & to cut a long story short Harry has his carpel tunnel op on the 26th & then as soon as he’s recovered they will do the second which is Dupuytrens contracture under a general anaesthetic so we are getting somewhere at last!
2. One of our Camelia bushes is beginning to flower.
3. A much better day with blue sky…it seemed to stay light much longer today.
These are beautiful and so much better in colour. However, maybe a single rose in b&w might be good? I am familiar with Dupuytrens and have had 4 operations, two on each little finger, one needed a skin graft. The result is much improved movement but not completely straight. However, I still play the piano regularly so I'm grateful for that.

That’s so interesting, thank you for your feedback re Dupuytruns…. It really hampers Harrys bowling days! First thing is the carpel tunnel as his hand is numb all except for the little finger.
Lovely flowers and they certainly need to boast their beautiful colours ! Pleased that re Harry's forthcoming procedures Hope all will be done and dusted before the summer .
@beryl Yes that’s what we thought too Beryl & then hopefully the end of hospital visits although he still has a bit of a hernia….never ending at our age is it?
Black and white would definitely not do these beauties justice.
All the best to Harry with his upcoming surgeries. Tom had great success with the Dupuytren’s procedure a few years ago.
The flowers probably came from Cathy's garden! A bright spot of colour on a winter's day! All these little things that are not life threatening but very annoying!
@maggiemae Not a flower in sight in many gardens just now Maggie…she would wish she had such flowers in her garden at best of times. Her garden is sort of under construction a bit.
@happypat ah, repetitive motion over time is so hard on our hands. I have to say how much I love that lovely dark piece of furniture on the right. I would call it a secretary, I don’t remember what you call it, but it is beautiful there!
@louannwarren It’s a small dresser Lou Ann. There is a small bookcase to match…the best pieces of furniture we own! We did splash out when we bought them a long time ago but you can still buy the same pieces over forty years later from the same firm. Thank you.

I might try one flower then but I’m not a poster of flowers in normal times so I doubt I shall do it twice together….will see what I see tomorrow!

If it’s any consolation, l've posted in colour too!
