This is a filler as it has done nothing but rain all day! I will however, post an indoor shot in my Even More album so it's not strictly speaking cheating! I saw this lovely blackbird down the cycle track the other day. I have been to visit a 90year old lady and I'm trying to withdraw my visiting so have tried to take her to the coffee morning in her village so that I can introduce her to some other ladies that I know attend. However, every time I suggest it, she makes some excuse. Anyway, after all the shannanigans with her cooker, I realised today that she hasn't got the hang of her new one so tried to show her how to use it as she thought the grill was the oven and said that she set fire to something the other day. I'm always wondering whether she tells me these horror stories to keep me visiting because she said "don't leave it too long before you come again!" I know she looks forward to my visits but the trouble is I've got more and more clients that I'm helping and only 10 hours a week to do it! It's very difficult not getting too involved with people who are obviously lonely but she's quite a strong character and I don't think you can make her do anything she doesn't want to do. I'm sure though she would enjoy it if she only let me take her to the coffee morning. Any suggestions?
Oh my, Rosie, what a beautiful blackbird, but why do you use the word "cheating" ? This is not a competition but an opportunity to share, enjoy, and learn from each other, and if you check the dates on my photos you will find that I "cheat" every day beause I choose to take time and care to ensure that they are the best I can offer on the day I choose to post them.
Thanks again for all your kind comments, and congrats again on this magnificent blackbird!
Nice crisp colourful shot - I love blackbirds! Could you persuade your lady that she would be helping some other lonely soul, and would be the best person to do it?
@wordpixman Thank you Arthur - actually I think you are right - we shouldn't get hung up on dates we took the pics. If we've got a better pic from another day, you are right we should post them and as you say it's not cheating. I must remember that. Thanks for all your kind comments and taking time to look at my pics and for the favs too
Thanks again for all your kind comments, and congrats again on this magnificent blackbird!
Is there anyone else you could take along with you on one of your visits that could become friends with her? Possibly one of the ladies you mentioned?
