Friday Smiles 2022: Week 26

Well here we are at the end of another week and this post really will be short and sweet. I knew when I wrote last week's post that I was not feeling good and sure enough I had a virus that  hit me like a sledge-hammer and meant that from Friday through Tuesday I spent most of my time either in bed, or laying in my recliner chair. I couldn't face food and even drinks didn't stay down for long.

Yesterday I felt a tiny bit better and today I am at least moving around and have eaten a little bit of lunch, so things are looking more positive now.

Of course I have nothing to write about as the most I have achieved is reading six light-weight novels on my Kindle!

It was a shame that my new phone arrived at the weekend when I couldn't muster any interest in it beyond unboxing it and letting Chris swap the SIM card across and sync everything from my old phone.

I am looking forward to experimenting with the camera and having watched a little video about it today, I realise I have a lot to learn. But for now I have a couple of photos taken from my chair before I even knew what the settings were all about. The fern is inside the fly-free porch taken on a zoom lens, and you can see the netting in the background, but the plant caught the light quite well.


The second one is, of course, our Kim, who likes to lay at the foot of my chair where he gets maximum benefit from the ceiling fan. He was almost too close for a good photo but I liked this one.

Apologies for those I didn't manage to visit or comment on last week. I will hopefully do much better this week.

I will link up with Annie's Friday Smiles in the morning and I am sure I will be smiling by then because I feel so much better.

  2. Oh I'm so sorry you haven't been well. What a bummer. There is a lot of it around.
    You are lucky to have a techie husband. I hope you will soon feel well enough to start 'playing' with your new phone.
    Best wishes,
    Hugs,

  3. Hi Kate, you didn't say what the virus was and I hope you're over it soon. If your new camera is like mine there will be enough automatic Scene modes that you can take all the photographs without having to understand all the manual settings. I like the auto settings as sometimes there isn't time to go through a long process of setting everything on manual. Take care and have a lovely weekend. Angela x

  4. Glad to hear you are on the mend Kate - that sounds like it was a nasty virus!! The rest of my family household have had Covid, but I have escaped, despite the small house with 5 people in it!
    Those photos look great - sounds as though you will be putting out some stunning photography soon :)
    Blessings

  5. I’m sorry to hear you have been so poorly. I hop y the time you get this, you’ll be much better.
    You are so lucky to have a tech savvy husband. We always struggle. There is a phone shop in Baza but they are always so busy. The queues are long and the repair times also.
    I don’t know why I seem to have such trouble to comment. (Chris might know this) On my tablet it’s impossible so I do yours on my computer but it hasn’t arrived yet so I’m trying again ( this is my second comment) .
    Get well soon dear Kate. We’re praying for you.
    Take it easy this weekend,
    Hugs,
    Lisca
