Yes @Gazza75
I am sure they are more sparkly - I looked them up on the internet and they probably had a bright light shining on them and I really got interested when I saw that
My family has moved into my back courtyard now so I took a pic of part of my front garden - it looks so green and fresh in the sunshine

Thanks for sharing the picture of your garden @Owlunar . It looks very neat and tidy and I'm sure it will be great in a few months once it gets established 🙂

Hi @Former-Member
I love the use of imagery when I have to do something or endure something I am not excited about - when I have and MRI I imagine I am seeing the places I have been on holidays and it's great how quickly the time goes
It's always helpful with sleep too - one trick I like is to imagine another story from a film I have watched or a book I have read - I guess I never get to the good part or the ending to write it but my imagination enjoys itself and I enjoy myself doing this
It was excellent waking up this morning and not feelling the stress I had been controlling for months - I decided I wouldn't think about the pain specialist situation until after I had been to Cairns - then I had so much to do - I had an MRI and sorted out a psychologist and the specialist and I had to wait for both which was okay - and also I had a lot of paper-work to do for the specialist - I wonder if they ever read all of that - and I did an a activity diary for two days and there was more paperwork when I got to the clinic as well - at least I have done that and it seems worth all that effort
What can I find on imagery?

It will be great @Gazza75
They always do a fantastic job and this time they have laid down a lot of tan-back that will keep the weeds from taking over

@Owlunar ( grandma Gonzales’s) I liked that. 😁😁😁😁
Your garden is looking beautiful. They have done a great job. Yes, watering will get you up and going over the summer mths. Hopefully with little or no pain.
Appointments over and it looks like @Gazza75 is sharing some of the magic in DP. Always beautiful and encouraging to many of us here.
Sending warm thoughts, hoping it’s not too hot in your area today. 💕💕💕💕☕️☕️☕️☕️

Thanks @BlueBay
I do have a great family and it was good catching up yesterday - and I am very pleased my garden and looks they worked hard and fast and got the whole garden done quickly - the back was pruned and weeded and that makes the cute little courtyard look like a nice place to go outside and eat in the sun
And yes _ my appointment did go well - I am pleased with the outcome though it means facet joint injections which helped me in the past
It's good to see you here this evening - I hope you get a good night's sleep and feel better tomorrow after such a bad night
And today I feel strung out like an over-tested rubber band - and outchies from the physical pain where I was probed - the doctor has to check out the arthritis I guess
And - and - I went to sleep in the chair with the computer on my lap - I'm glad I didn't let it fall onto the floor
You have had a lot of changes in your life too - but most of it is sorted now
All the best
