Some news

Just want to share some news before the post proper.

Finally got my hospital appointment through, for next Wednesday, 13th. Yea, crap date, but never mind, it could be lucky. If I’ve read the letter correctly, it seems another stent after all. 
And all being well, I should feel like a twenty year old after.  lol

Have to be there this Friday, for 8:30, for an admissions clinic, so I should have all the details of what’s going to happen then.

Ok, as Freddie once said, ‘the show must go on


An excited goose. A happy Canada Goose, to be exact.



And the reason for his excitement; a quick splash earlier.



A serious looking Mallard.



A male, flying in, to see if I had food, or just a camera.


And the last one for now,


an excited duck.


Hope your day is exciting too.

A 20 year old! I wouldn't mind feeling like a 20 something again. You doing it the hard way, I'm looking for something in pill form! All joking aside, I do hope and wish the best for you. May the good Lord bless you with a speedy recovery.

Kelly said...

...good luck with your procedure--my grandpa was born on Friday the 13th, so I always considered it a good luck day! Love that last shot, the profile is very cool. Love the action in the splashfest, and you're right! That mallard looks seriously serious!

Captain Shagrat said...

I have a dentist's appt. today, so I'm hoping more for calm than excitement ;)

Love the photos! Excellent shots!
Whatever the prognosis / procedure — I hope you're feeling better soon!

Great shots Keith.
Admissions clinic sessions were always guaranteed to make my blood pressure rocket.
20 yr old eh. Does that mean you will be using 'texting speak' in your blog? lol.

Oh I don't doubt you will feel much better after the procedure. A twenty year old would be bonus. ;) The 13th has always been lucky for me so take that good luck with you next Wednesday.

Im glad to hear its only a stent that is recommended, you already know what to expect on that one-soon it will be history and you can get one with what you love to do. Will be checking in to see how you are doing.
EXCELLENT shots today...love the action-Thanks so much for doing this for US to enjoy!!!

Tricia said...

Keith - I'm just catching up after being away for a few days!! So I'm delighted to hear that you're finally getting that stent!! You must be so relieved and, yes, you'll no doubt be bouncing around like a new born lamb afterwards :D :D

Little Brown Job said...

Hope you're up and about like a spring chicken soon, best wishes for Friday/Wednesday :-)

Very interesting moments of the life the ducks.

Wilma said...

Well, Keith, I have always found the 13th to be lucky, so I will try to push my good luck your way. ;-) I'll be thinking of you.

holdingmoments said...

Thank you Dixxe. Like you say, it will be like history, this will be the third time for one, and second time for the other. Hope they’re the last :)

Thanks Tricia. Catching up is something I have to do; I’ve got so far behind. Lol
Hope you had a good time.

Thanks Paul :)

Kozma, thank you :)

Thank you Wilma, appreciate it. :)

Petra said...

I always thought that geese and ducks are quite common and boring birds but your shots prove me wrong ;-).

Keeping my fingers crossed for you so that everything goes well. And remember, it's good enough to be twenty, don't go lower! :-)

Sending good thoughts your way for your procedure and hoping you are able to dance like a 20 year old after! :-) Loved seeing the goose w/ his wings spread - makes him seem even larger.
