On your marks, get set, go ...

OK, time to divert away from all these hospital/illness posts.  Time to turn the creative part of my brain back on.  Time to start thinking about the Scavenger Hunt over at Rinda's blog.  This was such good fun last year and I was so pleased to see that she has organised it again. 
When I saw number 7 'Person playing a musical instrument' I knew I had to get a picture of my son and his guitar before he leaves for Tanzania tomorrow.  Yes, tomorrow.  How did that sneak up on us so quickly?  It's a gloriously sunny day here today and he was wandering around the garden strumming his guitar - a perfect photo opportunity.

Whilst sitting in the lounge watching Wimbledon on the TV I noticed that the sun was making a really pretty pattern with shadows from the patio table and chairs.  Hang on a minute … shadows?  I’m sure I saw a category called A Shadow.  Sure enough, here’s number 11

I think that today has been a bit of a turning point here, I’m actually getting bored from sitting around doing nothing.  Up until now, I’ve been so worried about moving that I’ve been happy to just sit and heal.  One thing I have noticed from looking out my bedroom window more than I would normally do is this little fellow

I am reliably informed he is a goldfinch, and just look at how pretty his feathers are.  Such colours and patterns.  I did notice he had a lady friend round earlier this morning so maybe there is a nest somewhere close.

I’m trying to guess which will be the category that I have problems with this year on the Scavenger Hunt.  Last year the unicycle beat me; I’m hoping that this year I will make it to all 21.  Are you joining in too?  A friend popped round with a get well present of an acrylic mini book for me.  Just in case I was getting bored, you know.  So I’m just thinking, won’t that make a fab mini book to put my scavenger pictures in?  And there was me wondering what I was going to do tomorrow.  Clear that dining room table husband, the craft supplies are coming back!
