Thursday/Friday Post

 Hi Everybody!

Today I had some errands to do after my long stay in the hospital - had an appointment with my doctor, collected medicaments from the apothecary and then sorted them for the next week, which is quite a big job! I have to start relying on myself again to get all the jobs done! And I did have a lot of time with my feet up, just looking out of the window and being thankful that I got through everything so well. Thanks to all blog friends who supported and encouraged me while I was in the clinic and hospital. Some people have asked what was done at the hospital last week, and I will tell you about it sooner or later, but first I need to feel really well again and get some distance to it all.

 I am sharing a 20" x 20" piece I made in the creative therapy at the clinic. I painted an A3 piece with acrylic paints in vertical stripes, and then cut it horizontally into strips, which I wove together into a pattern, which I fixed to black card. I didn't try to get it straight, life is often woven together out of colourful strands and they don't need to be perfect:

And I digitally added a single flower to this version so I can link to Sheila's challenge at AJJ, where I haven't been able to do very much up till now:


I am also linking to Paint Party Friday.

This 'flower' is a huge fungus:

























Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for being in hospiTal!

 Hi Everybody! 

Today I am writing a short post from my hospital bed, which is very comfortable. I still have more examinations and tests to get through tomorrow, and if all is well I can go home on Tuesday. For the past few days I was on a fluid diet, just water, herb tea and clear broth, so was happy to be served some real food today. I got rice pudding for lunch and a slice of bread with Quark, a sort of cream cheese and jam for my evening meal. Strange how things you don't usually like taste so good now!

I can't access my photos taken here yet, so a few old pics stored on my tablet will have to do for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party. Happy T Day to all! They are certainly things I've been dreaming of:

 





And I have some cloud photos from 2019:











Have a great week, take care,
And thanks for visiting

New challenge at Tag Tuesday

Hi Everybody!

I have been looking forward to going home on Thursday, but instead I will be transferred to a different clinic in the hospital for further treatment of my pancreas, and perhaps for an OP, I will let you know more when I can!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday, and this time our lovely and talented Pinky is hosting, and has chosen the theme of 'things with wings', a great theme for this time of year when nature is waking up again. As always, tags of all formats are welcome, and Pinky has created 2 wonderful tags to inspire you, which you can see and admire  on our blog.

I made a tag with a  bee queen:



Some photos fitting to the theme:








Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for This and ThaT

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Here it was very cold but with sunshine all day, so just right for walking!

Today I have a piece to share for Sheila's single flower challenge at AJJ:



And some of the single flowers I have taken pics of in the past days:







Today is also Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday link party, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit here.
My drink is almost always cappuccino, so here some memories from the good old days:










Last week I baked cinnamon rolls at the clinic, they didn't last long!


Yesterday I baked a banana, chocolate chip and walnut cake. I forgot to take a pic, and by the time I remembered, it was too late, all gone!

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
