Day 87 of my pic a day challenge. Well as I was getting ready for nightshift last night I knew I was not feeling great. Took my temperature and 38.5. In for 7 days and poor mike and Marcus for 14. Feel ok-ish. Upper chest feels “odd” on an out breath. Kinda tight pressure. Bit of a dry annoying cough at times. Achy all over but feels more like a head cold or hay fever. Best to keep my colleagues safe however. Hopefully get self tested next week once it starts.

Day 83 of my pic a day challenge. After my 3 day shifts on the front line I got my shopping from the local farm shop and the local butcher. Between them I got all I required. Milk cheese bread eggs potatoes fruit veg mince sausages beef olives and burgers. No hassle, no stock buying. All delightful. I had considered going to one of the NHS shopping things but no need. Shopping done and all local

Day 76 of my pic a day challenge. After this evenings news things feel more sinister. Just like the scull looming over my lovely wee daffodils, something wicked this way comes..... p.s. the scull always lives in a pot on the patio. Had done for years lol. Just seemed very apt this evening

Very proud of this amazing Yorkshire pudding I made tonight. Not slimming at all but sometimes you just need it

Saw this on someone’s feed and had to steal it. So very true

2nd attempt at watercolour. This is it wet/damp still. I got a shock how different they dry. Don’t like the 1st one much but like the sunset and the dark sky. I think my moon in the middle should be higher. Such a self critic already at pic 2!

Day 67 of my pic a day challenge. Coffee bags. Never tried these before but saw them in Lidl for under £2 and thought I would try them. Tasted exactly like percolated coffee. Would I buy them again? Undecided

Malf today 🥰

Day 66 of my pic a day challenge. I love miniature daffodils. They always seems nicer, Narcissus ‘Tête-à-tête’ or wee daffies as I prefer to call them. Also adore this blue pot. I got it years ago from my mam and it looks amazing with whatever colour is in it. Anyways will enjoy this for a while more before it gets planted for summer

First walk in a long time but we managed a decent 10000 steps. Managed also to yap that whole time without drawing breath. Don’t know which is better, the physical exercise or the mental positivities exercising with a friend gives. @suzybloozy see you Monday and Thursday night next week. Ps stopped for a pic in front of a blossom tree but pic never picked it up that well

Day 65 of my pic a day challenge. First day of my 16 days off and I spend it doing dishes. Not just the dishes going about but a full dishwasher of dishes too. Seems the dishwasher wants a holiday too!

Day 64 of my pic a day challenge. Same window from work as yesterday’s pic but with an epic sunrise this morning over a very cold frosty Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Day 63 of my pic a day challenge. View I look at every day at work but never photo so here is it to document it for eternity. Love watching the weather come over the hills and you can still see the seasons change. Today is winter, misty, cold and pure Scotland.

Day 62 of my pic a day challenge. Day light is coming in earlier and today this was 06.35hrs

Day 61 of my pic a day challenge. Today I attempted watercolour painting. Definitely not for me. Far to wishy washy and abstract at this time. Bottom one is meant to be a pot of lavender and the top one a tree. The YouTube lady made the lavender seem mega easy too lol. Never mind. Will try some more.
