Sunday Selections #829

 


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. I am still home though have had to make repeated visits to the hospital.  Yay.
I saw the chemotherapist at the end of last week.
I have a rare and aggressive cancer.  Stage 4.  It has spread to my abdominal wall.  At this stage chemotherapy is due to start the week after next.  I have a meeting with the radiation team and rather a lot of other medical tests/procedures next week.
 
While at home I have been enjoying the birds and the garden.  More is coming out each day though so far (despite the need) I have done no work in it.
 
Come revel in colour with me.
At the hospital.
 


 
 In the garden.
 
 






The perennial begonia is still flowering.


 I hope you find colour and joy in your week.

 I usually run with a theme. This has been another busy and fraught week (and next week will be too).  Instead of a theme I am reverting to type and showing some of the things I have noticed (the pleasant things) over the last little while.
 

 The garden has been severely neglected.  Just the same, some things have continued to bloom.
 


 Seeing the Balloon Spectacular made me remember and revisit some of the feature balloons from previous years.
 
These are from 2016
 
 


2017
 


 2018
 




 And there are plenty more if you are interested in a revisit.
I hope your week has splashes of colour and joy.
