Celandines and Dreams

For the past week I have not ventured more than a mile from home as a result of my back injury, sustained when doing some heavy gardening. Hence, another photo from the garden where a few celandines grow on the waste ground beyond the wall. Fortunately I seem to have turned a corner now so hopefully will be able to look forward to a more adventurous week ahead. 
Despite the discomfort I have slept remarkably well. I have also dreamt a lot and been able to recall my dreams afterwards. This may be related in part to the book I have read this week - The Night Tiger by Yangtze Choo. Set in Malaya around 1930 it is a story steeped the supernatural and East Asian folklore. For me it has been one of those books which stimulates thoughts and enhances sensibilities to alternative realities, whether real or imagined!
