Parrot tulips
I've had another catch-up day, and have finally managed to finish processing my photos from the Complete Walk: if you don't know me on Facebook, but would like to take a look, the album is here. I've also Dropboxed some shots of the Lord Leycester Hospital from the blipmeet on Tuesday for the lovely people there, who I know are on the lookout for new photos. And I nipped into Stratford at lunch time to get some routine blood tests done; the walk-in service at Stratford Hospital is excellent, and I was astonished to hear that there are people who complain if they have to wait five minutes for their turn - I wonder what they'll have to say if our esteemed Health Secretary succeeds in dismantling the NHS altogether?
I was saving these parrot tulips for a Flower Friday image, but this morning I remembered that I have a photography club thingy at Stratford Butterfly Farm tomorrow, and I daresay that I'll be posting an image from there, so I decided to blip them today instead. They've gone all sprawly, as a good tulip should, which made them a little tricky to shoot, but I put the vase on the sunny sitting room windowsill and after playing around for a few minutes I found this angle, which I rather like. I hope you do too.
I'm off to make dinner now - I need to build up my strength, because this evening it's the final episode of the excellent Line of Duty. I watched last week's through my fingers, squeaking at intervals, so by 9pm tonight I will probably be peering out from behind the sofa, and a small bucket of wine will quite possibly be consumed.
8.35pm edit: I hope I didn't worry anyone when this appeared without this week's Tiny Tuesday results on it - if you were assuming that I'd forgotten, you were absolutely correct. Sorry about that!
You just can't get the staff...

with a special HM also going to WWombat, who started this whole thing almost a year ago now with a month of May Macro Mayhem. WWombat had been planning to host Tiny Tuesday through to the anniversary, but as she's off on her travels again jensphotos will be hosting the next two weeks, and Beckett the two after that. Let's hope they both have better memories than I do!
