Caturday: Jethro Stands Tall

 

This is Jethro standing tall on the computer chair. 

Scots Pine

This is part of the Scots Pine Tree. 

An Evening Chat With A Snail

 

This snail was very chatty when I went out to the garden one night a long time ago!

A Spider And A Web

 

This spider was showing off his acrobatic skills. He was happy for me to take photos. I really like spiders, I know a lot of people don't! They fascinate me!

Nice Tree Pattern

 This is an older one. I liked the pattern on this tree.

Happy Birds At The Feeding Post

 

A Nuthatch on the left and a Blue Tit on the right are happy to have a chat before going to get the seeds I put down for them.

A Brainy Mushroom

 

Doesn't this mushroom look like brains? Yikes! From what I can tell, it is the False Morel. 

Caturday: Stitch On The Fridge

 

This is Stitch. He has decided to take residence up on the fridge! The human kitten is annoying him too much! So up high he went where she cannot get to him. I did store my oils up there but had to move them as I didn't want him knocking them down! Oil is hard to clean!

Gulls At The Pond

This is an older photo. Two Gulls at the pond. They were happy to eat the food I put down for the ducks. I do like Gulls a lot.

Mexican Orange Blossom

 

This is a Mexican Orange Blossom. It is very pretty.

Had my appointment today with the physio. Got a few exercises I need to do and I need to keep it moving. He said I was put as much weight on my left leg as I can tolerate.  He checked my hips and knees and they were all good, I hadn't lost any strength. So now it is no pain no gain and motion is lotion time! 

A Lovely Sky

 

A lovely sky in Scotland. 

Happy Ducks

 

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.

Pied Wagtail

 

This is a lovely little bird. It's a Pied Wagtail. They are really common in Scotland.

A Interesting Pebble

 

I liked the look of this pebble.

Caturday: Jethro

 

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! 

A Purple Bee

 

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.

2 Is Company

 

These 2 crows seem happy up there. On the lookout for me, perhaps, bringing them seeds!

Cinnabar Moth

 

This is a Cinnabar Moth. It was a good friend of mine for the day!

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!!

A Curious Crow

 

This crow was rather curious! 

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.

Caturday: Cleo Is Such A Poser

 

This is Cleo. She really knows how to pose, doesn't she!!!

Icy Mallard

 

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.

Spiders Are Artists

 

Wet and frozen webs really show us how talented spiders really are! I love this, especially with the amazing little water droplets.

Signs 7th January 2026

Linking to Tom's Signs: https://backroadstraveller.blogspot.com/ 

Saw this sign at the Edinburgh Christmas Market last year. I thought it was cool and cute and nice! It was at the Mulled Wine and Drinks Stall.

Dramatic Sky

 

A wonderful sky. I love these colours.

Lovely Flower

 

This is a pretty Dahlia flower.

Common Bonnet Mushroom

 

I think this is the Common Bonnet. I enjoy taking photos of mushrooms.

Caturday: Sunny Stitch

More cats today!

 This is Stitch enjoying the sunshine! I love his eyes!

Happy Birthday Abby

Today is Abby's birthday. She turned 17. She is one of the sweetest cats ever!

 

You can see my cast in the bottom photo! I am in a moonboot now though. She has been by my side since I got back from hospital and has been comforting me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Here is to a better 2026 for us all.
