This Later Season

This morning I learned that my PSA result was clear – no action required. It is an interesting phenomenon that this is one situation in which no news is good news. The GP only contacts the patient if there is a problem. Otherwise the patient has to make the call.

This afternoon Jackie drove me to Sears Barbers for Peter to cut my hair. Afterwards we visited Tanners Lane,

where a few others were having fun. Two women, children, and a Labrador collected shells; a young man walked his dog; two people rowed a canoe.

A gull atop a post ignored the swirling eddies where currents clashed in the otherwise calm waters.

En route to this site we had noticed a glimpse of the view across to the Isle of Wight from Shotts Lane. The second picture reveals the Isle of Wight ferry and smoke from a fire on the island. The cattle in the third image conveniently wandered into shot.

In order to remove the five barred gate from the scene I needed to scale it a bit, then climb down again.

Pheasants in Sowley Lane, no longer dressed in their mating finery, reflected this later season by picking at stubble in a ploughed field. Others sought the shelter of the Becks Farm drive.

  1. I’m sure you are relieved to get that no news is good news.
    It was nice of the cows to wander in for a photo op, and the shots of you climbing the gate are great. Did you know Jackie was taking them?

  2. So glad to hear of your good news! πŸ™‚

    Climbing gates/fences, eh?! Good for you! They say the “grass is always greener” on the other side! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜€ It looks like that was after your haircut. ??? Your hair looks great! πŸ™‚

    Beautiful, healing nature! A joy to see what you saw! πŸ™‚

    What was to eat?!
    HUGS!!! πŸ™‚

      1. anything over 5 I think they treat as worth watching/acting upon. My treatment involved sterilization, been sterile since January 2006, kind of got used to it now 😈

  3. My family too is used to my breaking into unpredictable postures for a shot. You make a much prettier picture though, what with your astute haircuts!

  4. Brilliant news about the PSA result. Your knee must be on the mend if you were climbing a gate – or were you suffering for your art?

  5. Wonderful news, Derrick. You’ve been on my mind, but I’ve not been able to blog as I’m moving home. I’m really pleased all is well.
