Final BSL exam completed last night and we all went down the pub for a drink and breathed a collective sigh of relief. 6-8 weeks now to wait to find out if we all passed.
Came home to my son, whom we thought was just struggling with particularly bad hay fever this year, to find he had a fever of 101 (38.5) and was not well at all. Covid test negative, so seems to be some kind of Summer heavy cold virus. Poor lad. So he is off sick today and waiting to see how he is when he wakes up.
So a wee wander around my garden now the weather is cooler than it was and my roses are looking nice. Can't remember the name of this one, but I love its multiple frills.
Have to find out what BSL is - ? I had this sort of illness - doctor diagnosed bacterial infection of lungs which included nasal drip. Fixed with antibiotics.
@maggiemae British Sign Language. I am partially deaf and have been learning BSL and studying Lipreading too. Taking qualifications so that maybe I can help teach in future.
Good luck with the BSL. I hope your son feels better soon. I have heard of a bad summer cold circulating here in the States. Fingers crossed he is better soon.
A beautiful rose. Glad your test is over and you went out to celebrate. Sorry to hear your son was under the weather. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow. My son had an awful cough and walking pneumonia for 3 weeks. He missed 2 weeks of work.
Congratulations for completing the BSL. Best wishes for the results. 🙏🏻for your son for a full and rapid recovery.
You have captured the beauty of this rose so well. I can imagine myself going to smell the rose.
I am also partially deaf and tried to learn some BSL on a short course at my local college. It did not go well ! I was the only deaf person in a class of 15 or so and I could not understand what the teacher was saying unless she spoke specifically to me, which obviously she could not. I just could not keep up and got quite upset. I only went to that first class I could not face it again. Hoe you pass with flying colours.
@cutekitty Oh that is horrid! So sorry. I wish we lived closer, you would love our class. Teacher has been deaf all her life, she is very funny and we are all in the same boat, laugh a lot and cheer each other on. I would meet you for coffee and laugh and practice ❤️
@casablanca Awww.....thank you. I was disappointed.....both Billy and I went to the first lesson, but I got upset an embarrassed and would not go back again. I think I would do much better on a one to one (or two) basis.
@cutekitty Next time I come to Cornwall, I will track you down for coffee and do some basic sign with you :) I reckon you would be a natural because you are expressive and animated as a performer.
At thing that they say is just a simple cold can knock you for six! Hope your lad feels better soon…..Lydia our granddaughter went to a wedding just over a week ago & her little group have all got Covid.
Beautiful rose, I love those David Austin type roses. I’m sure you will all have sailed through your exam…..🤞🏻🤞🏻. I should have learnt BSL too it would have been a great help.
I think this is one of the most beautiful roses I have ever seen, Casa! Your capture of it is fantastic! Glad to hear that the temperatures have moderated a bit and that you and your garden are benefiting from that. :-)
Stunning capture of this gorgeous rose, I love the frilly petals and colour.
