Fastenings

Back on my favourite walk this morning.
I have missed the last couple of days as I’ve just gone on a low dose BP tablet & the side effects have been wobbly legs!!
It seems to be passing now so I dared to venture out.
This gate took my eye!

Three good things:
1. The lovely smell of the grass, hedgerows & country lanes when you’ve missed them for a day or two.
2. A new born lamb at our nephews farm.
3. I managed to shelter under a car port when it threw a shower.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A wonderful find - only in the country Pat !! - so much to see in such a little space - beautiful textures and a lot of stories ,I am sure !

Nicely captured textures

Good to get out walking again .. hope the wobbly legs stay away.. 🚶‍♀️

[Hazel]

Unexpectedly photogenic! Glad you have lost those wobbles.

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely to capture just the things that take your eye. Hope your wobbly legs soon disappear Pat.

[Dianne]

My sort of image. This is so nice to see - rusty chain links and cattle chewed twine - so rural. I hope you can get over those wobbly legs quickly! Fav

[Joan Robillard]

Glad you are doing better.

I have high bp but haven't been told to go on a pill - yet! I know what you mean by the smell of the countryside- away from the madding crowd!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae I had to take BP four times a day for a week maggie....they worked out the average & it was higher than it should be....I could tell I felt off colour & something wasn’t right.

[Peter Dulis]

nice

[Babs]

Interesting textures.

I took bp tablets a few years ago because my blood pressure was a bit high but the dose was too high and my blood pressure went down to 70/40. I passed out while out with the walking group and fractured my ankle as I went down because all my weight went on my legs. Be careful.

That stone post looks like it's been there a while. Hope the tablets help with your BP but take care you don't have a fall.

[Issi Bannerman]

Great find - lots of lovely textures there. Be careful with the BP and the legs!

[Brennie B]

Something about a gate and baleing string the hook fasten and the barbed.love this Pat..my blood pressure varies had a patch like this.had take pressure for a week.but no tablets as yet..can always tell when it's off though can't you. .take care Pat..xx

[Pat Knowles]

@brennieb Yes you can Brenda....had to have a telephone appointment but the best attention & the fastest I have ever had! Blood tests ECG all on the day I rang up. Doctor said this will be the way many appointments will be conducted in the future! I’m going to take it again for a week in four weeks & see how we go...she said I would be on them forever but that’s ok. You take care!! Ready for a good get together! X

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing Wow Babs...that would be scary....I have borrowed my sister in laws BP machine so will give it another check in a day or two.....good device. She said it could be trial & error to get it right! Thank you.

[Pat Knowles]

@nickspicsnz @jamibann Will do thank you both.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot and textures. The thing I have missed most during all these weeks was going for walks with Max during his Easter holidays.

[Phil Howcroft]

[Jane Pittenger]

So many interesting and unusual things in this shot.

[Phil]

Great textures. Keep safe, my Nanny used to say 'listen to your body and be kind to yourself'... she was quite right :)

[Pat Knowles]

@filsie65 She was right...I listened & knew I wasn’t right!
