Still hibernating
Spring is starting slowly here and looking at the fog this morning it’s definitely still got winters chill. My plans to be back in chch today have been delayed and now looks like I will be back Oct 8th, hoping for lots of sunshine and spring flowers from my favourite garden city.
Been visiting one of Barney’s old friends in hospital and managed to catch a COVID like bug that has had me down for the count and left me completely drained. I am starting to get a wee bit more energy and decided with prompting to look at maybe a wee ride around the block on my bike. Two completely flat tyres put paid to that pretty fast, trip to bike shop and all sorted, next morning completely flat again. Back to the bike shop and a new inner tube and a nice clean bike – bill $0 – apparently it’s all part of the service, completely unexpected these days. The weather has really effected their business, it has never been as quiet, I think they are just hanging in there hoping spring will bring the customers in. Two other bike shops have closed, my bike balms have slowed to no sales over winter.
Saw the big bright super moon last night and going to take it as a sign of change and everything starting to improve – I am pretty safe with this perspective as the only thing we can guaranty is that things will change and I get to decide if it’s positive or not.
A very dear friend has given me a wee push to get out and get moving which I appreciate as it really is too easy to become like the mushrooms I have been photographing. So look for more frequent posts although they may be of fungi.
