      @Michael Hewett ,..i have four groups of them now,..yes they do self seed here and there but one can control them and its worth doing,..planting them all in one spot gives a big pink splash of colour,..ah yes my roses make up for the lack of other blooms gone until next year,..thanks :)

                Lol,..either way i got the picture :),

                I took three pictures of the last flowering Delphinium this morning before breakfast,..the other two images are from two days ago,

                Just after breakfast i turned around far too quickly,..sudden blast of pain from the Hernia then it felt like i had poured a glass of hot water over my lap,..i knew i was in trouble,..phoned for an ambulance,..within a short time a Paramedic arrived,..gave me the once over and got me to stretch out on the sofa,..Ambulance arrived 15 mins later,..they took me out on a type of wheelchair,..off to A&E in Ballinasloe Hospital,..after taking bloods i had to wait for the results,..then more tests,..surprise surprise they discharged me at 7 this evening,..now to wait for a letter informing me to report to the Surgery Ward in the next few days.

                The a good neighbour took Foxy Molly under her wing during my absence,..she will do so again while i am in hospital,..Foxy Molly never batted an eye at the other house and never barked at all,..she seldom does :doggieshmooze:,..so that was my day,..oh i tried logging in to the forum while on my Android,..got my email address in,..no luck after 4 attempts to add my password,..i was blocked,..small figures on the Android and big fingers are no help.

                Heading off to bed early,..after i include the images below :snooze:

                  Not a good day for you Philip and I hope that surgery will sort your problems permanently. Take care of yourself. :)

                      Lovely colour Delphinium and delicate rose.

                      Oh, what a day you had! On one of my "off to A&E you go" adventures, I was carried out on a chair carried by the two Paramedics, one in front, one behind. Take it easy in the meantime till you are summoned to surgery, ya'hear? Vxx

                        I enjoyed seeing your Delphiniums, I love blue flowers. Nice autumn roses too.

                        I'm sorry you've had such a bad time and hope the surgery helps. It must be a relief to you that Foxy Molly has a carer while you'll be in the hospital.
                        I hope you'll be over it all soon, take care ...

                          :imphrt: Thanks folks,..to all of you,..went to bed shortly after my last post,..around 1045 and slept until around 1030 next morning,..almost 12 hours sleep which is not my norm as thats approx 5 hours each night,..and so the always late posts,..not a bad day today as i took Panadol to stop pain and discomfort,..thanks @Victoria for sharing your episode with the Paramedics and that chair trip,..i hated that bit as i could have suffered the pain to skip that.

                          Woof,..i am also watching the old guy.

                                Getting back to a an almost pain free day,..back and forth to the hospital for checks,..nothing new at all except i have to report back in the new year,..a bigger outbreak of the virus here,.. 5000 reports today and so most venues are cancelled,..Clubs and groups are not permitted.

                                Just one image captured two days ago and its that Alstroemeria 'Time Valley',..it certainly lives up to its reputation of being a long flowering plant,..hope to capture some rose images tomorrow,..heres hoping you are all well and safe.

                                Image captured on 1st of December.
