Eating His Sarnies

Basil and I wandered around Nanpantan Reservoir at lunchtime, to check on the grebes - who are still incubating their eggs - and the Mandarine ducklings - who are growing fast under the watchful eye of Mum.

This chap turned up with his sandwich lunch and sat on the steps to eat them while overlooking the water. Couldn't avoid taking the shot through the railings on the bridge.

Went to the doctor this morning over this and that. Diagnosis, a family member's behaviour has triggered depression which is probably responsible for causing physical symptoms. It's not likely to be real depression, but sadness.

Bloods to be screened, non addictive medication to be prescribed, and quite possibly counselling.

I couldn't believe how badly it had affected me until I owned up to the problem.
