Us, together, green man and woman.
My cats are not photogenic!
Mum why are you waving that slab of plastic in my face? I can’t see you because it’s in the way? Your eyes are always on it. Hunched over it. At least when you used a keyboard I could walk over that and sit on it and make lo[[[tttttttttttttttttttssssss of letters with it!
Mum do stop with your hands on the front of it! I want you to look at me, stroke my nose, rub my head, tickle my ears.
Oh you are not interested? Then I’ll look the other way…
The universe
What are you curious about?
Infinity or beyond? The universe is around 13.5 billions of years old. It could continue for billions or trillions of years into a heat death ending. Cooling down and expanding forever. Or it might collapse in a backwards big band and a singularity.
I’m not a scientist but my interest was piqued by watching the BBC TV series “The Sky at Night”, I started watching in the 1960’s when Sir Patrick Moore presented it. I loved the old fashioned animations of how things worked. It was well before the time of CGI or computer animation.
I keep watching the 20 minute show monthly, over the years, finding out about comets, eclipses, meteor showers and meteorites. I still try and catch it all these years later. I’m interested in finding out about dark matter and quantum lensing. I hope the programme continues for years to come.
Digital drawing
Trying to do a digital drawing after my cataract op and shaking from Parkinsons. Using Artrage drawing app.
It’s a bit rough but at least I tried.
Orchid
I didn’t notice but one of my orchids has flowered. Not a good photo, lots of camera shake. You can just see there are a few lower buds yet to open.
Today I got soaked walking 100 yards to choir practice. I can’t drive and I struggle to manage with a walking stick and a brolly, so I left it behind It was drizzling when I went out but it came down heavy as I walked along. So much so it was raining into my eyes. I was told not to get water in my eye that had been operated on. I avoided doing it in the shower but unfortunately the weather got the better of me. Still I have antibiotic eye drops to put in.
Which reminds me I’d better water the orchids.

Enjoying the sun
Can’t do much, so a bit of cat watching. They always find the sunny spot! It seems much brighter to me now. Sweet cat x
Remembering to water the plants.
Describe one habit that brings you joy.
If I forget they wilt.
They sag and look sad.
I can only water
This limited area
Viewed from the back door
And kitchen
Scent wafts in
And gives me joy.
Odd eyed woman
My eye patch is off till tonight. Struggling to get my eyes to align. I’m getting double vision. In one eye it’s yellow grey, the other side without the cataract is white. But my eyes keep crossing… It’ll take a while to get right. Meanwhile I’ll probably message people by voice note. It’s hard to type. Might need to reduce posting for a while. Hugs friends!
Eye see
Different vision, my operation has made my vision much brighter in my right eye. I’ve got to take antibiotic drops.. It’s weird seeing two different brightness at the same time! Also a lot yellower on the left. Wish me luck!
Struggling to type so can’t write much.
