Abellio London 2545, a London Alexander Dennis Enviro 400H MMC ( YY16 YKJ ) on route 344 to Clapham Junction at the BUS STOP.
What was interesting about this photo was how deserted the street was, rare for London.
Wow! Look! I week later big difference. Not 100% but it is looking much better and I am feeling much better than 1 week ago today.
And it is snowing today! I love the snow!
I've had other priorities lately, so this photo is late to be uploaded.
I have 6 school days left until I go on study leave for my GCSEs.
So, figuratively speaking, I am on that final stretch of the road to achievement.
Clever tie in with the photo, eh? ;)
OH! Also I was asked to do an album cover for a couple of local musicians recently.
The album is now up on iTunes!
Day of firsts. Maiden flight of my new DJI Mavic Air. First day at the Physio after my surgery. I can now slowly load my left foot with 20 kg force again.
Still need both crutches for anything but slowly working my way out of the rabbit hole.

Ein Tag der Premieren. Jungfernflug meiner neuen DJI Mavic Air. Erster Besuch beim Physio nach meiner OP. Ich kann jetzt langsam meinen linken Fuß mit bis zu 20 kg belasten.
Brauche aber noch beide Krücken für jeden Meter. Aber arbeite mich nun langsam raus aus dem Kaninchenloch.
#RoadtoRecovery
Day 2 of I-131 RAI treatment
i developed Grave's
Disease; no doubt from 3 consecutive years of intense sadness due to deaths in my family. Sadness makes you sick, people.... at least it made ME sick. I obviously couldn't handle it. I tried to get the disease in remission with environmental and dietary changes, but my antibody levels just kept rising as did my heart rate. This active person who was used to a normal resting heartrate of 60-65 now has a heart rate of 102 that wakes me up when i am sleeping. No way out. Needed treatment. The effects on my life have been debilitating. After the standard anti-thyroid medication treatment and 3 doctor's DEFINITIVE opinions over a period of a year , i reluctantly, and with great trepidation, gave in and took the pill. The Grave's probably began 3 years ago. I felt it but i just thought i was nervous. The mental impairment even made it difficult to perform my work duties. When i was diagnosed, i knew immediately in my mind that i want to move forward and leave the sadness behind. Hopefully in a few months my body will catch up and i will begin to live again.
i want to make clear that i am NOT around my cats---this was a brief moment out of my bedroom isolation. I cannot be near my cats for another 30 hours.
PLEASE no horror stories about radiation treatment..There is no turning back. I am changed forever. I know what might happen from the insidious effects of radiation over the long term, but i saw no way out. I have watched my health go down the tubes as the pounds dropped off of me. I needed an intervention. Thank you for understanding. Believe me it was my last resort. Now i have to accept my decision and move forward.
The Road to Recovery.
I need fresh air, exercise, photography and a little temptation. Here it is...................
Oiseaux chanteurs d'hier (chantez aujourd'hui)
French Sunday's stay in my mind, hovering over me through the week
Over the miles and beyond the boundary of years yet to reach a peak
From Opale to Belgique and down to that emotive river of rivers, the Somme
We each I am sure are a momentary custodian of remembrance
For it is not too hard to imagine a single poppy of esperance
That which today flowers from the forbearance of generic loss
A home now to hundreds of thousands resting beneath their cross
The journey is a long one, sometimes lifeless and even soulless
But we mustn't believe what frequents the heartless
Those now blaming the very people who saved their ruddy skin!
Over-obsessed with re-election and the fat pension they'll inevitably win
Yet this is our life and my mood reflects a Picardie sunrise
Of rustic charm in a sunlit yarn that captured the feeling with pleasant surprise
In a kitchen moment the shadow was distinctly oriental
The figure before a shoji illusion was but a rural window seen as sentimental
Where the papery thought of the East inhaled the light of the gracious Sun
Beaming over a breakfast wish the swish of life passing life just begun
But a week is one in a million for the chance to halt time for a while
And yet halt it did, that day at the morning table, a stone's throw away from a smile
Where emotions enter the mix who knows the outcome?
When all seems to stall, it will take much time for the great age to succumb,
For one to become itself again is a very great thing indeed
The obtrusion of hysteria that greets the usual news-accompanied -
Hour is far from lamentable, it is a renouncement of the failed faith of disassociation
The daily grind brings ruin to many, yet this lane away from pain and dissatisfaction
Sees the fields broad and woodland edges unmarked by 'today'
A Picardie home I saw as a child wakes up today unchanged from that bygone day
So much past wears a gilt-edged bookmark of accomplished pages read,
But pause a while longer, and I see my Somme childhood only enhanced by the road ahead
Guided by the pied-feathered friends all around, reprieved by kinder ways
I realise one search is over for my life touches the middle-ground through this cinematic haze.

Jake yesterday on his cat tree.
Thanks again for all the well wishes, during Jake's illness, surgery, and now recovery.
We couldn't have done it without your support.
He continues to eat VERY well, pushes Bailey out of his dish and is always pestering me for food.
I am so happy!

Wounded troops listen to panelists from The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), including a special address from Acting Secretary Gordon Mansfield. The VA was a key partner is providing programming for the conference. While the recovery process is long and arduous for a service member, it is just as difficult for the family. The Coalition and its partners recognize this, and so much of educational seminars throughout the week are on topics rarely addressed from their perspective including PTSD, relationships and coping strategies.
