Happy Days!! (In Explore 7th September 2023)

            Apologies to any of my Flickr friends who may have wondered as to my absence.  Two days after taking this photo my computer was deep-sixed by a lightening strike and is now having its soul weighed against a feather in the  underworld. I was locked out of all my accounts and emails on other devices until I managed to get a new puter and sort the mess.

The day after the bolt from above my wife's ride on lawn mower packed up and I was pushing it up a bank and blew a calf muscle and tendon - thought I had been shot - and Magoo was on crutches for a fortnight. So, with no  computer, no photography, no walking, I resorted to audio books and then my book player inevitably  packed up! 

All that remained was to contemplate the vagaries of life, one of my favourite occupations. Chuckle. Still hobbling around but metaphorically up and running :^)
