evening skies

 Pictures in reverse!!

focussing in a little to show the north end of the Isle of Arran

the bigger picture at about 9.45
today's construction. a discrete patch on my favourite jeans...Levi 501s of Pirate's..
with minimal non natural fibres ....probably the thread

picture of the patch to reinforce a small section that had become thin somehow...

Aerial view. not that big really


from the bedroom window..

and again a bit to the right

and looking from the living room at 9.30
a glowing gean..wild cherry tree that I grew from a cherry pit


This afternoon I had another look at my foot...and showed it to the village pharmacist.

We are not sure whether it was a tick bite ( picked up in Limoges..a bad area for them) or not..they don't always show the classic bull's eye...but it is a case of it could be and better have a week of antibiotics just in case than have Lyme disease pop up in the future...I do not like taking things...but ..needs must.

It has been a funny old day, weatherwise.
Started with cold wind and sharp showers until mid afternoon...and indoors the room thermostat in the lobby was showing 17⁰. You could have fooled me..it just felt cold!!
but from then on it has slowly warmed...
I think we'll be back chilly again tomorrow...duty day at the Smiddy gallery!!

You get an amazing amount of produce from your garden.

Your sky is dramatic and always changing. Nice photos GZ.
Taking the antibiotic is a good idea. Lyme disease is terrible.

The aerial view of your garden -- big WOW! It is looking very healthy. And I love your skies and views. I hope the antibiotics are just precaution and it's not a tick!

Too bad about the bite, but yes, it's wise to be cautious!

I like that aerial view. You certainly make good use of your space.
That was wise to get your foot looked at. Two granddaughters have had Lyme disease and it was not fun.

You have some nice views. What a productive garden you have. I do hope it's not a tick bite. They are having a "mast year" this year by the sound of things. I even have them roundabouts here as Alfie has come in with several attached to him, but having had a recent flea treatment, they all snuffed it after the first bite.

If you lived closer, I could keep you supplied with yellow cherry tomato plants!
