I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

Happy Ducks

 

Ducks feeding in Scotland

This is an older photo. Feeding the ducks at the pond. I really enjoyed those day and really miss them. Hoping I get to see them sooner rather than later.

Caturday: Jethro

 

Bengal cat in Scotland

This is Jethro, my Bengal cat. He isn't doing too good due to his kidney troubles but he still manages to have fun and pester the other cats!

This is an older photo from about 5 years ago. I was looking through them and this made me smile so thought I'd post it.

Update

I had my appointment at the hospital today. I can now start to weight bear and walk on it. The doctor said 25% then build it up over the weeks. It isn't healing internally as fast as they'd like but he put that down to my age. Externally the wounds are doing well and I can have a proper shower or bath now. I don't need to wear the moonboot unless I am walking. I have to go back in a month and half and they will check my progress. The doctor referred me to the physio, so waiting for that appointment to come through. I also asked him when I can start driving again and he said I'll let you know at the next appointment! I have to keep moving it now and I have been moving it while sitting and doing a wee bit of walking in the house and let me tell you, it's really sore. Which is to expected, I was told! Here is a photo of my X-Ray, check out all that metal work!!

More Funny Teefs

I posted a few Llama's back HERE and their funny teeth. I met this Alpaca a few months ago at a local farm.

Isn't it a cutie with its funny teef? Lovely animals, they really are.

Icy Mallard

 

Male Mallard on frozen pond in Scotland

This ia a male mallard, you can tell from the grey and green. The girls are brown. This was taken round about this time last year. He is standing on a frozen bit of the pond! That is what I am gonna miss most about my injury, not getting out anytime soon and seeing nature. Once I am able to walk, I might hobble into my garden and see what I can find, so at least I will be posting current photos. Let's hope I can weight bear soon.
