I usually run with a theme. As I will this week. First things, first though.
I am back, and very grateful for the emails and messages of support I received. Thank you very, very much. Both Batty and I still have some more medical appointments to make/attend but I hope the bulk of them are done and dusted. I am still feeling less than stellar and fear I will have to adapt to a new normal.
In my absence my city moved into festival mode - first Enlighten (photos will follow) and then the Balloon Spectacular.
I LOVE the balloons. Sadly the youngest of my brothers who also loves them got a birthday treat of Covid and couldn't attend. Himself announced that he would rather not go. It is too early for our public transport so I booked an early morning taxi and headed down to the lake.
Many photos follow.
And then my more or less patient wait was rewarded.
We have a feature balloon every year. This year it was Lucy, a much travelled international star.
It really was a delightful start to the day. By that time the first of our buses were running and as I headed to the nearest stop I had another treat - murals in the underpass which led to that stop.
I hope you find treats in your week too.
