The Weekend in Black and White

Before Christmas I slipped on some ice and pulled a tendon in my leg. Many nights were spent sleeping (if that's the right word!) downstairs in a chair. The days were spent scooting about in my computer chair. Then I was lent a pair of elbow crutches - what a difference! Now I can get about a bit more.
These are the crutches, just waiting for me to get up and walk.
Maybe I have too much imagination, but I think they have a very kind and caring look.

I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST IN 2011.
MAY THE BEST OF THE OLD YEAR BE THE WORST OF THE NEW.

The Weekend in Black and White

This pretty silver decoration was a present from our (then) tiny grandson last year.

I hope you all have a wonderful festive season.

Snowy Sunrise

The front of our house faces roughly west.
I was looking out of the window about 9 o'clock this morning just as the sun was rising behind the house.
This is what I saw.

This was the view slightly to my right.

This was a short time later, taken between the two buildings on the far right of the previous photo. The hill is the island of Arranmore, and the houses are catching the glow of the newly risen sun.

I wouldn't mind if we had no more snow this winter, but it can certainly make things look very beautiful.

I have some lovely, heavy, dragon bookends.
They sit all the time facing away from eachother.
Today I'm showing them face to face.

Come and enjoy The Weekend in Black and White.

The Weekend in Black and White

Two weeks ago I posted about Aileni having a toe operation. He's recovered beautifully, but he hasn't been able to get into the shower yet. Our hand basins are too small for hair washing, so I had a word with my hairdresser (she 'does' men's hair too) and off we went for a wash and cut.

Doesn't he look pleased with himself?

The Weekend in Black and White

We have had a week of unusually early winter. Normally our autumn hangs on past the end of November, and snow waits until after Christmas. This year is different!

I took this photo in our neighbour's garden last Sunday.

The Weekend in Black and White

Last Tuesday I spent several hours in the waiting room of the Day Services Department of Letterkenny General Hospital while Aileni had a toenail removed.

Shortly after we arrived there I became fascinated by the false ceiling. Not very much after that I started finding it oppressive, and then it began to give me a headache.

It was easier to concentrate on a small section, much enlarged through my camera.

It was more comfortable looking at closer objects, when I could ignore the ceiling. I liked the way this chair seemed to be trying to move away from the over-warm radiator
