Yellow poppies are scattered around the garden, looking cheerful and jolly.
It was a rainy day, we ran to school as fast as we could.
Wednesday was a mix of rainy and sunny weather. This busy bee was diligently moving from flower to flower, collecting pollen.
A few months ago our lovely neighbours across the road moved to their new house. They downsized and didn't have enough room for all their plants, thus I have become an owner of several orchids. None of them were in bloom at that time, and I didn't know which colour they were supposed to be. One of them later produced pink blooms, and a few days ago I was delighted to see this pale beauty. It looks like a watercolour painting, so pretty.
On Thursday I tried to tackle some garden jobs. Now the big green wheelie bin is completely full.
On Friday Eddie arrived home with bright red cheeks. When I checked his body, he's also got a rash. I know that the scarlet fever has been doing rounds in his school. On Saturday he wasn't paler or better feeling, so I called 111 to ask advice, as I wasn't sure if it was indeed the scarlet fever or slapped cheek. I was advised to take him to be seen by the doctor at Minor injuries unit. The doctor said it was a viral infection, and to do nothing unless he's got high temperature or was feeling worse.
As of today (Sunday) he's still very red in the face, so I think tomorrow we might go to the GP.
Here he is, looking sorry for himself, watching Ben and Holly on Netflix.
I love all of the outdoor pictures this week. I love thyme it smells so lovely and that orchid is beautiful x #project366

Thank you! The orchid is very pretty indeed.
Deletesurprised if you suspected scarlet fever that you were to take him into a unit full of other people. Hope he is looking/feeling a bit better.
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty flowers and I like the story of your pretty orchid.
Elaine, that's exactly what I said, there could be other children and pregnant women around, but they refused to do a home visit. He's feeling fine, but the rash is still on, especially on his arms and legs. Called the GP today, they said he's fit enough to go to school without even looking at him. sigh
DeleteLove your garden and that flower is so pretty. Hope Eddie is better now
ReplyDeleteOh poor Eddie, I was just thinking there's his lovely smile again when I scrolled down to the last photo. Hope he's feeling a bit brighter today? Love that poppy, and I adore orchids.
