Sunday Selections #832


Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image. 

The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life.  Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.  
 
The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Sorry I still haven't succeeded in working out how to do a blog hop. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
 
 I usually run with a theme. Last week was difficult.  I was weak and wobbly and for much of the week I could barely stand.  However there was still colour and joy.  And, fingers crossed, I am improving again.  I owe several of you emails and will get to them.
 
Soon.  This will be another busy(ish) week.  I have medical and other appointments including one that I very much hope to complete.  If I do I will post about it here.
 
The week after I will board the chemo train again with a myriad of tests/scans and appointments before the infusion itself.
 
Here's to colour and joy.
 
 
I really like the micro garden that has established itself on the rock in our bird bath.   And now to vibrant splashes of spring colour with more coming out each day.
 












 

 
 I hope we are all showered with colour this week.

 I usually run with a theme. Sorry for my recent absence from the blogosphere.  Things went a bit pear shaped (as an aside where does that phrase come from?).
 
I have been in hospital again twice since I last wrote.  A massive infection and then an allergy to an antibiotic (and a sensitivity to another).  I will need both chemotherapy and radiation treatment but that cannot start until the infections have been kicked to the curb.  I have appointments with the respective teams in the next ten days.
 
For the moment I am home again and glad to be here.
 
And it is STILL a beautiful world. 
 



 




I hope you find beauty in your world too.

 I usually run with a theme. I am still in recovery mode.  Sadly I am also a slow learner and frequently do too much.  Not many photos this week - but one of the bunches of flowers I was given has highlights that tie in nicely with  Charlotte (MotherOwl)'s colour of the month. The colour for July is"Writing Pleasure Purple"
 

Complete with photo bomber.
 
And another bunch (I am so lucky).
 

 



 
My doctor's visit for Tuesday has been moved to Wednesday when I will find out what the prognosis is and whether chemotherapy/radiation are part of my future.
 
I hope you find beauty and joy in your week as I will in mine.
