Winter

No need to comment, just posting this for the missing day on Tuesday when I was in hospital.

I posted a photo of this gerbera about 4 weeks ago in all its glory, but now it looks as though winter has caught up with it.

Made me smile because this is how I felt on Tuesday morning.

I had to be at the hospital at 7 am so we left home at 5.45 am, it was dark and pouring with rain and about 15 degrees C. I had a splitting headache probably due to lack of food and more to the point no cups of tea since Sunday. I think I had withdrawal symptoms.

In the theatre at the hospital the anaesthetist was lovely. As he was setting up the cannula and saline drip I asked him if he could put in some tea with skim milk with the saline while I was under anaesthetic because I had a splitting headache, probably due to lack of tea. He said 'No worries, tea going in now' I said 'Thank you' and then I faded to black. ha ha.
Cool capture.

Stil looking beautiful with a bit of wabi sabi.

I loved your story and can just about image how it was. Did you get a cuppa when you woke up?

@ludwigsdiana Too right. In fact I got two cups of tea and sandwiches plus 4 biscuits because they gave me a second lot of biscuits with my second cuppa

@365projectorgchristine It isn't hot and tired, it is cold and tired. It may be summer where you are but it is winter here in Australia. (southern hemisphere)
