@SimonInEdinburgh Are you implying that my choice of word was not artfully constructed and carefully executed?

Thanks for sharing your photos @Strings, You posted impeccably, the pictures are great and interesting too. I do like Walter.
I had a stroke about 20 months ago, it changed my life but I’m finding ways of dealing with that.
You’ll find friendly folk here who you will meet as you read and post.
Keep on keepin’ on

Thank you. I have enjoyed basic photography for many years. Somewhere in the house I have an old Lumix G5 if I can find it but I can’t use the stairs yet so my phone will have to do for now. I’m struggling to operate my phone camera but finding solutions like you have to do.

@Elle1 I couldn’t work out what that mysterious colourful ‘splodge’ on the photo was. When I increased the picture size I got it. A butterfly !! . . . and what a beautiful view through that window, too. Thanks for sharing.
@DeAnn I’ll post a recipe elsewhere, later, it is very simple, pressure cooked for a few minutes. It is tasty and creamy. As you say, a comfort food.
@Strings My phone camera is becoming a useful record keeping device. It isn’t so long ago when stairs were between me and the upstairs. I can manage them now, though I never believed I would. I’m sure it is a hurdle you will overcome. I sympathise over camera control, my right side is down and I have had to become a very clumsy left handed trier. Getting used to limitations, determined to overcome them.
Love you all

thanks, if any of my postings seem odd it’s because I’m trying to get my head around how the process works. It seems very clunky compared to WhatsApp which I’m used to. Onwards upwards etc.

I find the whole stroke thing very strange. My progress has been slow, but I am optimistic. There have been definite changes for the better over the last 20 or so months and I’m still getting improvements.
I’d like to recover the old me, but must face the challenges and make the most of what I have.
As for your forum posts @Strings, you are doing okay. Make good use of this space, it is friendly and has much to offer. We’ll no doubt talk again but there are lots of others here each with their own story, each with something to share.

I love to see changing skies and the gifts they seem to offer. A reminder that life goes on and there is always the promise of a new day.

One of my pleasures is preparing food and sharing it
Chicken pie, home made today by Bobbi
Photo by Hilary
A quarter of the above became a Chicken Pie dinner last night.
I’d better be careful posting these food pictures, the Dinner Police might be investigating me. (note the copious quantities of good healthy veg - the pie contains onion too)

Hi Mahoney, thanks very much. I’m still trying to work out how to do things here. Well, actually I’m trying to work out how to do all kinds of things, but that’s the same for everybody else in this boat

It’s an unwritten rule that every creature in our garden must be given a name. So here’s the latest little guy to turn up. Catching the early morning sun on the shed roof, may I introduce Mr Freddie Fox

Freddie is still very timid, he came close to the kitchen door but was off as soon as he saw me through the glass. There are quite a few foxes wander the streets around here but they are not tame and you only see them late at night. I wonder if your fox has a splinter or thorn in its foot preventing it from walking. Sounds like an injury of some sort.
