Mobi52 WildPlace's Project 52 - 2023

Week 4 / 52

I’ve been mostly absent from all things online this week having been thrown a rather large and unexpected curveball which requires me to have urgent surgery which is scheduled for the 13th February. Still been taking my daily photos though helps to keep my mind occupied.

Here is this weeks photo - a crumbling building that every time i drive past it i think “i need to photograph that”. I think it’s gone way beyond looking as interesting and attractive as it did a few years ago and now just looks sad and neglected.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear you’re not well :oops: That house really has a sad look. Abandoned buildings in many places here too. Such a waste.
I hope you’ll recover fast after the surgery :inlove:

Lovely Hipsta edit - perfect choice for the subject
 
Week 6 / 52

Surgery went well and i was discharged after 1 night in hospital. As it was abdominal surgery it’s all quite sore so i’m now ensconced in a lovely apartment looking out over the Moray Firth, not far from Inverness, until i’m feeling more comfortable to travel all the way back home again. I have my telescope set up looking out over the bay and my binoculars are handy. My husband is looking after me really well

That’s fantastic! I’ve been wondering how you were doing. So glad you‘re healthy and back posting!
 
Week 9 / 52

Getting into the swing of filling myself with nutrients to give myself the best chance of healing from my op. My morning tea (hibiscus and green tea steeped in 500mls water overnight with juice of a lemon and a tablespoon of Braggs apple cider vineger added) and my smoothie with 1/3 cup oats, soy milk, an apple and berries plus a variety of supplements. :)

Week 10 / 52

Lots of snow this week, interspersed with very cold but pleasant weather.

The next morning from the front door, looking very pretty :)

We had a powercut for a good few hours one day this week, my trusty old camping stove was in the kitchen so I brewed up!

Week 11 / 52

Another week of poor weather... but it was also my birthday this week and flowers from my youngest daughter cheered me up :)

Monster hail that woke me up in the early hours of the morning, absolutely hammering down!

Week 12 / 52

A lovely lunch out at the pub in Eriskay - called Am Politician after the boat that sank during WWII and what the story of Whisky Galore was based on. The original black and white film that tells the story was brilliant (though it was filmed on Barra not Eriskay) and it was remade in 2016 but I haven't seen that one yet.

Sadly the dreaded covid caught up with us for the first time in three years, Ian first then two days later me :(

It's taken three years but it finally got us!
 
Week 13 / 52

Thankfully I seem to only have a mild dose of the covid - I put it down to all that juicing and supplements, my daily breakfast smoothie, a big daily salad for lunch and the steamed veg I have for dinner at night. Ian has come off much worse and spent most of the first four days in bed.

My fourth pyjama day in a row haha!

Back out walking when the weather is good enough, feeling fine after the covid.

I steep green and hibiscus tea over night all summer for my ice tea. We used to call this no heat steeping sun tea, because you left it outside in the sun for several hours. Since I can’t depend on the sun around here, I use the fridge. :lmao:

I love your landscape photos, especially the color, which brings an extra dimension to the feel of the places. And those archetypal sheep in the last image! They're so very sheep-like they look like they were hired from a casting agency.
