I would have really liked to have done the shoe photo shoot but no way my anxiety would allow it.
Times up on that anyway.

I'm glad you like it 🙂 I'm actually not sure if that tree has flowers...I can't remember seeing any.
You have a plant that changes colours? 😮
Can't see your pictures yet, but thank you...
Today we have 17 and mostly sunny too apparently, but no sun yet...maybe this afternoon.

Current 22C, and quite humid. Light broken cloud cover. Hoping rain and storms stay away for our BBQ tonight. @Lee71
Yes @NatureLover ... I would have liked more than a couple of hours sleep too. Just feel very weary, and would have liked to be feeling more on top of things with visitors coming. But I will make do and get through.
Thought I'd leave you to ponder a song from me today. Hope the link works.
I have things to do now, visitor preparations. And maybe a quick nanna nap after lunch before things get hectic.
May manage to check in occasionally during the afternoon, but if not ... catch you tonight perhaps.

I don't understand, and I'm not sure if I should be worried or not...
I notice you didn't answer my question of how you are today...can you maybe compare it to yesterday? If you don't answer again, I will imagine it to be pretty darn awful...

Thanks for the song, @Emelia8 🙂
I hope your preparations and visitors go well, and you have enough energy on not much sleep...

@NatureLover couple more pictures for you my friend.
Sorry the last one is a little blurred . Still got shaky hands today, which I am thinking is part of my med reduction.
As to how I am, I'm ok.

Thanks for the pictures...I can't see them yet. I saw your earlier two...is that a pine cone close up?
That would make sense, about the med reduction making you shaky... Thanks for telling me.

Are you really? You've said before that you're never OK...maybe you just don't want us to worry.
