This is someone we haven’t seen since FantastiCon days, so it was good to catch up.
I used to have a motorbike. I loved it. It made the daily commute so much easier. However, I haven’t ridden one since the day an elderly man thought it would be a good idea to do a U-turn on a main road just round a blind corner, and failed to spot me coming. As luck would have it, he only wrote off the bike.
An Eye For Detail
A while ago, we had a trip to an extraordinary place:

The people in this place did some magical eye surgery on the spouse’s left eye. Within a couple of days of that op, his vision in that eye improved massively.
To avoid post-eye-surgery problems, we have been undergoing a stringent eye-drop regime; one type of eye drop administered 4 times a day, and another 3 times a day. This week coincided with the Caped Crusader’s family being away, leaving us in charge of her schedule. And, of course, the day-to-day routine rolls on — feeding the Cartwrights, collecting the eggs (from all manner of strange corners) and so on.
The point being that I already had a bunch of daily alerts on my phone, and this week, I’ve had to add seven more. It felt as though I couldn’t draw breath without the phone buzzing to tell me the next task was ready to be done.
After the first frenetic day, I didn’t think I would make it to the end of the week without getting in such a spin that I would kick the spouse out into the garden, try to administer eye drops to a hen, all whilst berating the Caped Crusader for not laying eggs in the nest box.
However, we made it unscathed.

Sunrise / Sunset / Weather
We had some fiery sunrises this week:

We had sunsets, too, but they evaded my camera. The weather has see-sawed between dry and rainy, windy and still.

We saw a lacklustre rainbow, but it couldn’t really be bothered…

… and there were some interesting storm clouds over the sea.

The only thing that remained the same was the temperature — cold!
The week in photos articles were started by Dennett in 2020. They provide fascinating insights into people’s lives. Here are some recent highlights:
Dennett shares thoughts and insights into being alone.
Anne Bonfert’s feet have been on the ground lately, which is unusual for her, but then Winter snow and a new baby are not obvious accompaniments to jumping out of aeroplanes. We all know she’ll find a way to match them up soon.
Susan Alison finds remnants of summer as Christmas approaches.
Louise Peacock takes us for a walk through her amazing garden.
Kim Zuch’s piece about her childhood home manages to encompass the time of the dinosaurs as well as a pertinent lesson about the inescapable connections between past, present, and future.
pockett dessert’s photos in this piece about November are stunning.
Tanya was touched by a butterfly and reflected on the circle of life.
John O’Neill is Still Searching…
Barb Dalton 🇺🇦 makes the case for some frivolous gift giving.
