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.
That must be a relief. Lovely photos.
Yes, indeed, Ali. Thanks very much
Well done, Derrick.
🙂 Many thanks, John
Such relaxed and calm environs. As always love your pics 😀 .
Many thanks, OneLife
How marvelous to see you climbing! And how marvelous that your test results are negative.
Very many thanks, Osyth X
Once again I commend your lovely countryside.
Thanks very much, GP
I would love to be ther by the lake. Lovely like always Derrick
Thanks very much, Drew
Nice to see you doing a bit of scaling there Derrick – life in the old dog and all that 🙂
🙂 X Pauline
So pleased your results are clear.
A great relief I’m sure.

Many thanks, Melanie x
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?
Thanks very much, Merril. In fact I had her preferred camera in my pocket, so I had to do it again when she told me 🙂
🙂
Your knees seem to be in tip-top shape 🙂
Getting there, Rosaliene. Many thanks
So glad to hear of your good news! 🙂
Climbing gates/fences, eh?! Good for you! They say the “grass is always greener” on the other side! 😉 😀 It looks like that was after your haircut. ??? Your hair looks great! 🙂
Beautiful, healing nature! A joy to see what you saw! 🙂
What was to eat?!
HUGS!!! 🙂
Very many thanks, Carolyn. You now know what we had to eat 🙂 X
Good news re the PSA,
I never knew what it was until I was told mine was 18;8 and I had 1 year 2 at the most. Now mine is .0008 😀
Congratulations, Brian. The doc did give me a number on the phone, but I didn’t register it. I think there was a 5 in it. Thanks very much
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 😈
Oh dear
Bit late for that Derrick 😈
Yes
Glad medical checkup was good and love the photos you posted as always
Thanks very much, Gary
Did your knee doctor approve of this fence scaling, Derrick! Don’t over do it! Glad to hear your PSA is good. 🙂
Thanks very much, Jill. Don’t tell the doc. 🙂
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!
Very many thanks, Uma. The shot is always worth it 🙂
I bet all the fresh air and appreciating nature along with outdoor exercise has aided in your healing.
I hope so, JoAnna. Thanks very much
🙂
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?
Thanks a lot, Helen. The gate was surprisingly easy – but then I only got up to two bars 🙂
😀
I am so pleased your test results were negative! 🙂
Thanks very much, Clare
You also scale fences?! Gosh, wonders never cease. 😊Happy you’re a healthy Knight!
🙂 Thanks very much, Rose
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.
Thank you very much, Persia. I had noticed you were simply posting quotations. So pleased there is a good reason for that. May the move go well
Many thanks, Derrick.
