Mixed fortunes for 365

I was hoping to bring you an image of a young woodpecker. After 30 minutes in the hide an adult appeared, flew off at the click of the shutter and the result is a not quite sharp image, so no good to blip.

This is the honeysuckle under the ash tree. It flowers late because it is in the shade and north facing. It gave the new pink compact a chance to show off its prowess.

We had news that two of Mum's oldest friends have died in the last few days. Both were without immediate warning of deteriorating health, so quite a shock.

The new computer arrived - well some of it - hopefully the rest will come tomorrow....

Then we were off out for a lovely meal with our friend, MH, and on with her to the theatre to see Ibsen's Ghosts. The play was completely new to me and I found it compelling and gripping with many layers to the plot. Not an easy play to access. At one of the moments of high tension someone's mobile went off loudly and inappropriately. Groan - (glad it wasn't mine!)

So now to bed with all sort of mixed thoughts and feelings. Sweet dreams of honeysuckle perhaps?

P.S. I THOUGHT THAT 365 WAS TOMORROW AND I'D DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR IT! TOO LATE NOW, TODAY'S BLIP IS POSTED.........
