Photo diary: Project 365, week 5 2026

In some way the last week wasn't memorable, which is good, as in no news, good news. I'm slowly getting better and better. My knee is back to normal colour, though it has a strange sensation, as if a muscle or ligament has shrank. I am taking marine collagen in hope it would solve the problem at some point. My back is almost fine.

Sunday's sweet pastry haul from Costa, using TooGoodToGo app. Not as impressive as Lynwoods cafe, but it also costs less.

Popped into a card and gift shop, and saw a few lovely Rolife diy miniature rooms on display. They were on offer and look so tempting, but I don't have space in the house for any of them. Our bookshelves are crammed, and books are stacked in every possible and impossible space.

The only drawing I made in the last week is of the little girl in a shawl, vaguely based on a photo of me, when I was a child. The sketch is made in mixed media, with pens, inks and watercolour.

My orchids in the kitchen were looking a bit tired, so I got new clear pots with drainage holes and a bag of orchid potting mix, and re-planted them. Fingers crossed, they will perk up.

I started reading The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie. We watched The Seven Dials on Netflix recently, which is quite amusing and entertaining, until you start reading the book and wonder what was the point of changing it so dramatically.

Agatha Christie satirises the upper classes beautifully. I'm enjoying the book more than the series.

On Saturday evening Eddie was invited for dinner by our friends. I asked if I could tag along for a bit of a chinwag. Tried to catch this little chirpy thing sitting still for a photo, but he kept moving like a lightning.

How was your week?
