I Want One

It has been a long day today. First of all I had a medical appointment early this morning and then we were out with the walking group followed by lunch and later this afternoon visited John, a friend of ours, who is in palliative care in the final stages of brain cancer.

Sorry I have been limited with 365 this last week because we have visited John a few times plus lots of other things on the go here at the moment too.

While we were walking back to our car after lunch today I saw this boy looking at the boat. I am sure he would like one.

It has been such a lovely warm winters day today. Doesn't look like winter does it. I think the temperature was around 19 degrees C. A lovely day for a walk.

I need a cuppa now and I will try and catch up with 365 this evening.
A lovely image. So sad when you have friends that are ill.

Oh bless you and your friend John. These final stages can be so hard for everyone, I am sure he really appreciates your company right now. Lovely shot and title.

Looks like the middle of summer and the sea is so inviting to jump in. I am saying this as I have just returned home from my daily morning swim in the open sea. Such a lovely view you have captured.

I love that boy standing in the water, a winters day & he's paddling! Could be summer! A really busy day for you Babs, give the old commenting a rest tonight! Sorry about your friend, that is a sad & truly awful way to end your life.

I think we're all going to want one now:)
July 12th, 2018  
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but this is a beautiful, peaceful scene.
July 12th, 2018  
Sounds like an emotionally tough day. What a lovely scene to capture the day's lighter moments.
July 12th, 2018  
Such a lovely scene. I am wondering if looking out to sea in such settings helps to restore you after difficult days. I am sure it would for me.
July 12th, 2018  
A few years ago I would love it to. Now I enjoy ( you beutiful) pic.`s of it . Fav. scene and capture.

@dide @happysnaps @casablanca @beryl @hermann @louannwarren @nicolecampbell @Dawn @merrelyn @lyndamcg @kjarn @lesip @susie1205 @happypat @dh @taffy Thanks it was a lovely day for a walk and lunch with friends even though the end of the day was quite emotional visiting John. Unfortunately, he is asking for help to end his life and of course, we can't give him the help he needs. He says he isn't in pain though which is good. So sad to see him in this way. On Monday when we visited he said he wanted a bottle of Guinness so we snuck in a bottle yesterday and he really enjoyed the taste of it. All we can do is to try and cheer up his day in some small way at present.

@gilbertwood Oh Denise I am so sorry, it must have been horrendously emotional for you.

@thistle @susiemc @sangwann @yaorenliu @pamdavis2015 @mittens @henrir @ludwigsdiana @craftymeg @sarahlth @carolmw @quietpurplehaze @fbailey Thanks. it was a lovely sunny day and quite warm although it does go really chilly at night. I don't mind chilly nights when the days are as warm as this though

@helenhall Yes Helen a walk along the beach always restores the soul after a sad day, it is great therapy.
July 12th, 2018  
Beautiful shot, I hope your friend is resting comfortably, it’s wonderful that you can be there for him.
July 12th, 2018  
Wonderful scenery-
sending positive vibes to your friend 💕
July 13th, 2018  
Lovely seascape!
July 13th, 2018  
Great shot- yes, you can see him thinking about where he'd sail with it. So sorry to hear about your friend. But that is so great that you can still spend time with him. I'm sure it is a great help to him just with the morale support. Hope all went well with your doctor's appt. too.
July 13th, 2018  
Oh gosh Babs, you've been having quite a time, haven't you? Very sad about your friend though. Love this shot, your caption's perfect.
July 13th, 2018  
@jodies @joemuli @olivetreeann Thanks, it was a lovely day for a walk. Thanks too for your thoughts for our friend. It is so sad to see him fading away.

@olivetreeann My appointment was just for blood tests and B12 injection so nothing serious.
July 13th, 2018  
Looks like summer! I like the alone boy. He makes capture.
July 13th, 2018  
It seems that if the temp is below 20°C it must be winter. Lucky you. I like the clear blue sky and still water, very calming.
