Fingal Bay

This morning, I did my grocery shopping quite early before it got too hot and then I had a medical appointment.

After that I called in to see my pal.Kay as she is not too good at the moment. She has inoperable lung cancer and has just been in hospital for a few days with pneumonia. She is home again now but very short of breath. Her daughter Susie is here visiting from Queensland until the end of December, so Kay is able to stay at home at present.

I have not been home long and only just had my lunch so no time for photos today.

Here is another photo taken yesterday at Fingal Bay where we had our U3A Christmas lunch.

After the lunch I wandered down to the beach just to take a photo before we had our coffee at the end of the lunch and then came home.

As you can see it was a beautiful day and the temperature was just right around 26 degrees C. Another beautiful day today too.

I am going to catch up with your photos now while I have a cuppa. Haven't had much time the last couple of days so quite a bit of catching up to do.

So sorry about your friend Kay's illness. It's too bad she's not able to sit on this beautiful beach and soak up the warm sunshine. If ever there was a place with healing powers it would have to be the beach.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's health struggles. While my bout with covid wasn't like cancer, I do understand that way of breathing- gasping for air. I hope having her daughter around helps boost her spirit. We're having our first real cold spell tonight, so I'd really like to be on that beach right now!

[Kathy]

A quiet day at the beach. Haven’t been to the beach in quite a few years now I hate to hear that about your friend. I know she appreciate your visits.

[Rick]

Looks like a wonderful day at the beach. Great shot.

My pal Kay is close to the end I suspect. I just hope she can survive until after Christmas. So sad.

@onewing That is so sad Babs, my friend here is also in her last few months and it saddens me no end.
