Today we had planned to drive over to The First Gallery in order to finalise the flyers and further plan the coming exhibition. Indisposition intervened. First Jackie, then Margery, then I succumbed to viruses, so the meeting must be postponed.
We had a floppy day during which I continued reading Jonathan Dimbleby’s ‘The Battle of The Atlantic,
and ventured briefly into the garden to photograph a few of the varieties of narcissus that now frolic there.
Very soon after I took these sun-soaked photographs,
the skies darkened, and hailstones, tinkling against the windows like that through which I took this shot, provided a garden tablecloth and chair covers.
This evening we dined on Tesco’s carbonara pasta. Neither of us drank anything.
Pity you were unwell and glad you were able to take some beautiful pics all the same. Hope you all get well soon.
Thanks, Geetha. We will
Welcome 🙂
Get well soon! At least you blogged. 🙂
Thanks, Adrienne. I’m a stubborn old blogger. We are getting better
Aw….I’m so sorry to hear this, Derrick. I hope you all feel better soon. Beautiful photos!
Thanks, Jill. We are getting better
I do hope things will look better tomorrow. I hate to hear that my friends are not well. You should be on the road to recovery since the carbonara didn’t cause any problems.
Thanks GP. We are on the road
The daffs look delightfully perky even though you weren’t. Hope tomorrow brings internal and external sun for you all.
Many thanks, Susanne. Sun outside and we are improving
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thanks, Cynthia J. We are on the mend
‘A floppy day’ sounds okay though…….
Thanks Pauline. Most days are. Even O2 are sending me texts we special offers 🙂
Be well soon! Lovely flowers and pasta carbonara is one of my favorites.
Thanks, Laurie. We are getting better
Your day may have been floppy, but those flowers are perky. Feel better, Derrick. 💕
Nice distinction, Van. Thanks. We are improving
Get better, all of you!!! Lovely pictures that certainly remind me of England!
Thanks, Luanne. We are improving
Good to hear!
Sorry to hear that. I hope you all will be well soon, Derrick. It’s bad to be sick when the beautiful spring is here. Your flowers need you 🙂
All the best!
We are improving, Monica. Thank you
<3
Oh dear; I thought you were doing too much but then I always presume that other people are fitter than me. Take care.
Hail is so exciting and dramatic, isn’t it? As long as I’m not being pelted by it I rather like hail. We don’t get snow in Sydney but we’ve had hailstones the size of tennis balls; those were not fun.
Many thanks, Mary. I suppose I need to be reminded of my age occasionally.
🙂 Just take it easy.
“Neither of us drank anything.” Funny 🙂
It is funny 🙂
Oh, and sorry you all got sick. Forgive my bad manners.
No problem, Weekly. We are improving
A frolicking narcissus, and a frolicking virus, and no frolicking alcohol… get better soon.
Greta comment, as usual, Bruce. Thanks
Bought a little bundle of Dapphs♡
🙂
Feel better my friend♡
Getting there, thanks, Candice
Take lots of vit C♡
Love the trio flower shots. Such weather! Do get well soon.
Thanks, Cynthia G. We are doing so
I hope you feel better soon :0
Thanks, Sylvie. We are getting better
This was quite gentlemanly of you, while sick with a virus, to go take photographs to brighten up our days! I thought they really pretty and hope you and Jackie (and Margery) will be soon well. ♡
Thanks, Robin. We are improving
The hail was so interesting and decorative on your rod iron table and chair set. 🙂
A floppy day says it all. I hope you’re all soon feeling well again.
Thanks, Yvonne. Improving
Such beautiful flowers and I am glad both of you are improving 🙂 Regards, Lakshmi
Thanks, Lakshmi
Poor you. My virus has lasted 11 days despite a flu jab. Begrudgingly I am now on antibiotics. Take it easy, keep warm, drink plenty of fluids – we need you back in fit form.
Thank you, Sol. I’m sorry about yours
Hope you feel better! Have a great Saturday my friend!
Thanks, Sofia. We are improving
I hope you’re all feeling better. The photos are wonderful, and your garden is lovely. I love daffodils; ours are just beginning to come up. I hope the hail didn’t cause any damage.
We are getting there, Merril. Not sure about Margery yet. No hail damage, thanks
Beautiful photos, hope you’re all feeling better soon!
Thanks, Julie. Getting there
Those beautiful daffodils will at least bring a smile to your face and hopefully help with the healing. Take care, all of you!
Many thanks, Laurie. On the mend
I love these kinds of floppy days, I must say. Dashing images. I remember such changeable days up North in the late winter/early spring time. Sunshine in the morning; hail and icy, lashing rain by afternoon. Gorgeous, sun-drenched flower portraits.
Hoping that you all are feeling much improved, already! A joyful weekend to you,
smiling toad
thanks, smiling toad. We are improving
So good to come back on here and see your flowers and beautiful yard, Derrick! We’re still in full winter mode here, but I see buds on some of my spring flowers.
Good to have you back, too, Jodie. Where’s your Mum?
She’s here too, ” anonymous “. You never know with The Libster.
Oh the viruses 🙁 Hope this is the 24 hours variety.
Your narcissus plants are gorgeous. Yellow is the color of spring.
Many thanks, Inese. Not too bad now, but Jackie’s cough lingers
Sending the thoughts of healing!
Sure signs of spring for me…the first daffodils are always a breath of fresh spring air for me…great shots.
Thanks you, Dalo
Sorry to hear you were unwell – I hope you are recovered now
Thanks, Geoff. Getting there
Man those are amazng photos.
Thanks, Lonely
