A Bit of a Wobble

 


Yesterday wasn’t a good day for me - I didn’t feel as if I  could function properly - today I felt a bit more upbeat - I spoke to my brother on the phone and we had a hilarious conversation about feeling ill  and the stupid things we get up to in our lives and I felt much better after.

Not everything went to plan - I was frying bacon for breakfast and it spat at me and produced quite a burn on my hand which wasn’t good - Savlon to the rescue.


I was telling someone on Instagram about bookmarks that I have found inside second hand books - the picture above is all those that I have found - the most interesting are one from the Falklands and one a picture of the Titanic - I have quite a stash - including a postcard from Thailand showing a lady smoking a pipe.


This one is rather special - it is from an author whose book I had for Christmas - he takes all his photos with an old plate camera and chopped up his practice pictures to send out as bookmarks - and I managed to receive one - which is very kind considering the cost of postage these days.


The sun came out briefly and showed up these hellebores beautifully that have self seeded by the wildlife pond - no sign of any frogspawn sadly - I think because we have newts in this pond and the frogs have got wise to the fact that the newts like to feast on frogspawn.
