Taken on my 50th birthday at the John Lennon memorial in Central Park. #SundayPixMosaic #SundayPix
A black-and-white circular mosaic at the Strawberry Fields memorial in Central Park, New York, with the word “IMAGINE” in the centre. Flowers have been laid around the top edge of the memorial, with a few people’s legs and shoes visible at the edges of the photo. Fallen leaves are scattered across the wet stone surface.

#SundayPixEggs Struggled to find any interesting or imaginative egg photos, :-/ so here’s my 50th birthday breakfast in New York instead 🥚 While searching, I also found one of dear Wombat’s wonderful made-up words: crozzle — the crispy edge of a fried egg. That made me smile too 💛
A white plate holding a large American-style breakfast: two pancakes drizzled with syrup, a fried egg with a bright yellow yolk, a sausage, and a sausage patty. The photo was taken from above on a diner-style table and has a warm, cosy breakfast feel.

Just made it in time this week. Sorry it’s not anything more imaginative…. Just me 1973 and me 2025. #SundayPixBeforeAndAfter
Side-by-side photos of the same woman at two stages of life: a childhood portrait from 1973 showing a young girl with curly reddish hair wearing a floral top and yellow pinafore, and a recent 2025 photo of her smiling outdoors by the water, wearing sunglasses, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and a blue patterned dress.

Oh bugger. I forgot. I’m stressed at the moment as we are waiting on results but it looks like my Mam’s cancer has spread. :-( I really wanted to do it every week though, in honour and memory of the wonderful Wombat….so a day late…#SundayPixLeaf

As it’s Mothers’ Day…and as we’ve had some bad news about her health recently…here’s my lovely, much loved Mam. #SundayPixHobbies
An older woman with short grey hair and glasses, wearing a leopard-skin patterned top, sits at an old-fashioned sewing machine. She is facing the camera and smiling. She sits in front of a window with a view of open countryside.

A bronze statue of a young girl stands poised on a rock above the quiet sea, holding a seagull gently in one outstretched hand. Calm water stretches toward distant mountains beneath soft clouds, while a coastal town climbs the hillside to the right. The rocky shoreline and stillness of the bay give the scene a peaceful, reflective atmosphere.

After several self referrals in the last year, I finally received an appointment with physiotherapy. The problem is, I don’t know which referral it relates to, so I don’t know which bit of me it’s about!

Many people tell me I’m too old to have my hair like this but I love having red hair. :-) #SundayPixRed
The photo shows a middle aged woman with long wavy hair which is quite a vibrant red colour. She is smiling and is stood in front of a stone building with trees in the background.

Our pet rabbit escaped for a few hours. A few weeks later….. #SundayPixBeginnings
The photo shows three baby bunnies, two brown and one white.   Their eyes are sealed shut and their ears are tiny.  They are only a few days old. They are lying in a fluffy white nest.

Fed up of constantly being cold here. My mission for next winter is to figure out how to manage some heating that works and isn’t £900 a month!!

#SundayPixTravel Pletnas are traditional flat-bottomed wooden boats on the stunning Lake Bled, Slovenia. Rowed standing up by pletenars using oars called stehruder, they silently carry up to 20 passengers to Bled Island, a tradition dating to the 1500s.
Traditional wooden pletna boats with blue canopies float on the turquoise waters of Lake Bled, with Bled Castle perched on a forested cliff and a church visible among trees under a bright blue sky.Close-up of traditional wooden pletna boats moored on Lake Bled, showing polished oars, red canopies, and turquoise water, with forested hills and a partly cloudy blue sky in the background.

Oh no need to apologise! :-). X. It was a #Sundaypix post for ‘birthday’. It was the only birthday picture I could find. I’m 60 next year so it wasn’t decades ago…I’m just well past 50 now :-). Happily so because it means I’m retired! 🥳🎉🍾

I’m very annoyed that getting a new phone, (had to due to the old one being kaput), prevented me from logging in here yesterday. I missed #SundayPixLights so I’m doing it a day late. Sorry! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know! It’s 9 degrees in the house. They’ve cocked it all up twice now and I can’t get hold of anyone. It’s soooo frustrating :-(

Still extremely cold here, inside and out. Can’t use heating due to ongoing cockup by Octopus, who are not even answering my emails.

#SundayPixWobjects As soon as I saw this week’s theme, I cried. He’s so missed. X. Although we’d spoken a bit, this photo was what really marked the beginning of our friendship and lots of long wonderful conversations. Apparently it’s very me :-). So the scarf always reminds me of beloved Wombat x
A woman with brown hair sits in front of a brick wall. She has a thick black coat on and a red woollen scarf wrapped around her neck and face, with only her eyes revealed. You can still tell that under the scarf she’s smiling.
