Bubbles

As promised, this is my take on the sort of photos Mrs C was trying to take yesterday for her camera club homework.
Things were being dropped into a glass of lemonade and then photographed as they reacted with the fizz. I just took a photo of a cherry with some bubbles stuck to it, but Mrs C got very good results using pomegranate seeds that initially sank to the bottom of the glass but then slowly floated to the top as the bubbles attached to them.
You will have guessed from the above that nothing else really happened today. I chucked a few weights around this morning and we went for a walk to pick up a prescription this afternoon. At least that was the exercise box ticked for the day.
Phone call from mum, checking we were ok. Felt a bit guilty because I should probably have phoned her earlier in the week but, to be honest, I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to deal with her. Every conversation I have with her, she tells me how dreadful the pandemic is, how inconvenient it is not being able to do all the things she used to do and when will I be down to see her. Doesn’t seem to make any difference telling her it’s the same for all of us and I can’t travel until we’re allowed to. She will then tell me she is losing her marbles! She’s not, but she insists on watching the news for most of the day and consequently gets overloaded with all the “facts” the various programmes push out. This then means she doesn’t sleep and is tired all the time. And that is why she feels she is losing her mind. I have tried suggesting she adopts my approach of largely ignoring the media but she is scared she will then miss out on any important announcements. I can only hope that she will give herself a rest once things start to get better. For my sanity as much as hers!
