It's been a strange weekend. For two or three days I've felt 'under the weather' as mum and dad used to say. My eyes are blurry and I'm struggling to read for any length of time, I can now only read larger print in books, on my kindle and on blogs. My tinnitus seems much louder than normal and I'm sensitive both to light and to loud noises which make me jump and feel anxious - usually those at a certain pitch. The worst things are those large trolleys of goods to be shelved rattling through the aisles in supermarkets, the scraping of chairs on non-carpeted floors, the screams of toddlers in their pushchairs and people shouting loudly. I don't usually even mention these things and try to just get on with life but this weekend it has been troublesome.
Apart from that I'm okay and things could be much worse. After a restful weekend I was able to get out and about for a walk this morning.
No more words I'm just going to overload you with photos of the flowers around the lake and in the gardens at Trentham taken around 9.30a.m. this morning.
I still have several posts to complete from our recent time away, specifically about the Trincomalee in Hartlepool and also Durham Cathedral and Beamish Museum. I've also some lovely photos from a recent visit to Lyme Park in Cheshire. I will catch up I hope over the next few weeks but I'm finding that at the moment I need to spend less time looking at screens so please forgive me if I don't comment on your blogs as often as I usually do.
