Another day - but the blossom is not going to last forever.
So this is the view over the top of our camella bush towards neighbour’s blossom. I think I’m the only one who really appreciates this as they are away all day!
Three good things;
1. John started singing this - never heard it before:
“Cross-eyed Sue and a kangaroo are very much alike:
Her eyes are red and her lips are blue……!”
2. This photo meant I had to sit down on the edge of the deck to get the angle and just could not get up again without pain. John actually came out and asked if I was alright! I was.. just needed time!
3. A new book and I have to put down the name and the author…. “A Cornish Stranger’ by Liz Fenwick. Its going to be a book I just want to keep reading.!
Love the assortment of pinks here....don't you just love the springtime! A froth of pink to gaze at. I will check your book out. I have just finished The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. A very dark book, it's out on film tomorrow! Couldn't face another grim one so soon so now I'm reading a light entertaining book called Beauty by Louise Mensch at the moment. It's good.
A beautiful view of all the freshness of Spring - so nice to benefit and admire your neighbours lovely tree blossom and your own flowering camellia . Isn't it a pain when you can not get up from a low sitting position ! - we tend to forget that our old creaky joints are not what they used to be !
A stunning capture, your lovely Camelia caught my eye first. You are lucky that John can sing, if my Harry would try, the neighbours would complain and I would be out of here ;-)
How considerate of your neighbours to plant a beautiful blossom tree for your enjoyment. Even when the flowers of fallen they will make a beautiful pink carpet
Love to know what the rest of the words to that song are! Love this view of your floral surrounds, your dof is spot on. I know what you mean about pain in the posterior, I had a cortisone shot into my left ischeal bursa yesterday to try to help a problem of mine.
@golftragic You can google them but I don't know if they are the same as John's - his "Sue' had a sad history - a wart at the end of her nose.... I'm dreading that my specialist might say , right a cortisone shot is the next thing!
@maggiemae Thanks to a very bad fall I yanked my left hamstring group to the point where I had a real PITA much of the time. Lots of physio and exercises, eventually bit the bullet, went to the GP, then to an ultra-sound. Inflammation of the ischeal bursa and top of the hamstring tendon/s. Had a cortisone shot yesterday, didn't hurt a scrap, bulk-billed, feel heaps better. Don't believe everyone who tells you it's gonna hurt like hell, it doesn't if done properly.
@maggiemae Not quite!! Seriously, various 'helpful' people told me how painful this procedure would be etc, etc. But the bloke doing the job said his piece then 'the sting' from the local - that was fine - a couple of seconds later, a second 'sting'. Fine, thinks me, another shot of local, then he says to me 'all done'. No big deal at all. I'm looking forward to playing golf tomorrow without industrial-strength painkillers.
Dunno if this is any help, but I've also had 3 or 4 cortisone shots in my knees (prior to knee replacements) and never had any pain from them either. Just check around and find out who's good with these procedures. Sing out if I can be of any help or support, we folks have to stick together. Would you like an email address?
@golftragic Well, thank you very much, Marnie - didn't realise that a local helped! My specialist has done 'needles' and they are rather alarming but you can't complain too much! My knowledge is that they put the needle in and rampage around until you say, "merry hell" then they say - oh thats the right place then!
Wishing I could hear John singing...
