Down the garden path

Lots of scruffy dried things in the winter garden.

Working from home, less bright today. Day started ok and I even managed to do the hoovering at lunchtime.

But then I phoned mum and she said she couldn't find her bank cards. She obviously tried to phone but the obstacle course of modern telephone banking completely defeated her and her nearest branch closed at 3. All so shit.

So I got an Uber over there to help her with the phoning and found her bank cards - in her handbag but in the wrong pocket. And then she struggled to remember which safe place she'd put her passport photos in. Definitely getting more confused and more so when she instantly panics.

Got an Uber back and managed to finish off the work I needed to do before logging off and ordering pizzas.

Bless her! an easy mistake to make, but stressful for you.
This ex flower/ bush/plant may be taking wabi sabi to the extreme 🤣 lots of textures though!

Yes it's a drab time in the garden at the moment. I pity your mum forgetting things. I visited an elderly lady yesterday who had lost her wedding and engagement rings

Yup, my garden looks the same

I like this shot - there's some grit to it. Sorry to hear about your mum, I have had a mum go through this so understand how difficult it is.

Another lovely POV here. I feel for you and your mum. All so tricky, and I can imagine how the panic just makes things worse for your mum.

Quite a heavy load for you considering you couldn't tell where your mum put these very important items nowadays. I like your shot and the dof.

Nice b&w textures… plants fighting for survival.
Sending you positive thoughts & energy, it’s such a very difficult & deeply upsetting time… breathing exercises to calm yourself really do work.
