I think the best compliment I have gotten for it to date was a friend of mine asking what filters I used to get the first picture in the post. Filter, what filter! :)<br /><br />Hopefully it'll be sorted with the minimum of fuss... And at least I know what it is now...<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-46371614232263135842016-05-06T08:09:49.025+02:002016-05-06T08:09:49.025+02:00Hope so!

I can't believe that the British doctors never made the link to the Oliers Syndrome (if I had known about this then as soon as the thumb started I would have done something more about it!) and simply said that it was a couple of cysts and 'something' without giving any information. I much prefer the approach that this doctor gave is much better - giving me enough information that I can also do my own research so that the next time we spoke I had a good idea of what was going on, and what the options and risks could be. (OK, being called an intelligent young women helped when he said he was going to give me enough information for me to think along with the treatment plan :) )<br /><br />Two weeks in and I still love the phone! Quick, snappy, and unless you are on it all day (not that I would ever do that!) then at the end of the day there is still 50% or more left in the battery.<br /><br />The only downside that I see in it is the interface. It's like a mix of iOS and Android. I can live with it easily enough and actually have my screens organised in a way that works for me - but if you like custom launchers and playing with the phone (not to mention rooting them) them this isn't the phone for you... Huawei have customised it too much (and in the process broken some normal setting short cuts in android).<br /><br />And thanks, not bad for pre-hormones - IIRC this was during the medical research so I was on a serious testosterone blocker (very painful injection once a month, followed by a weekend not being able to run due!), but not yet using the patches.<br /><br />Not the picture I wanted, I'll admit (hello witch!), but definitely not the worst that I have seen!<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-67119113198177769612016-05-06T07:52:08.092+02:002016-05-06T07:52:08.092+02:00Thanks Lynn, I think that the camera is very flatt...Thanks Lynn, I think that the camera is very flattering though :)<br /><br />There are times when I am very pleased to have the colleagues that I have (and many times when I seriously hate the fact that my personality gets in the way of being able to be in large groups more often!). There are some very creative types there and to see what they did for the day (and the time they put into making the various cakes, scones and brownies!) was really heart warming :)<br /><br />Stace Stacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-69379129412346627102016-05-06T07:37:51.678+02:002016-05-06T07:37:51.678+02:00Thanks!

I would love to have another go at film - along with the different textuer of the pictures there is something about not just snapping away and having to wait for the results, but I have given away my 35mm camera body (shame as I have some really nice lenses that are compatible with my 5D...) and would have to really, really try hard not to go through a film in a couple of seconds :) (Yesterday my son was playing in the garden and I think I shot the equivalent of 2 or 3 rolls in a couple of minutes...)<br /><br /><br />I love the drama that you can get in the back and white shots, and the structure that the shadows give to the image.<br /><br />And I am still totally and utterly addicted to clouds!<br /><br />Hopefully the hands will be sorted without too much of a problem, I have a CT scan coming up to see what the internal damage is to the bone, and we'll go from there.<br /><br />The 10 years party was great, and with my change in role I am really fired up for the next 10 :)<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-90172658325210897522016-05-02T23:09:24.190+02:002016-05-02T23:09:24.190+02:00Hi Stace!

Anyway, I hope you're able to get those cysts taken care of. That looks painful! I'll have to go back and read your other posts to catch up! <br />Blessings, <br />LoriLori Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883850750657502492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-15527835841604786692016-04-30T21:21:47.589+02:002016-04-30T21:21:47.589+02:00Yikes, I trust they can fix it!

I really think you have an eye for those.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the hospital stuff, but at least you know what's going on.<br /><br />Congrats on the work anniversary. Lovely to hear you're being treated so well. I think that's worth a lot. Oh, and lovely smile in that photo. It suits you ;-)Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-64163954741956636592016-04-30T08:54:21.743+02:002016-04-30T08:54:21.743+02:00Love the photos.

Although I've taken about half a dozen rolls of film, one of which was colour the rest B&W, its taken me a little while to get used to using 35mm so I've only got one set of photographs out of it, alhtough I still have two more to get developed. The ones that I've managed to get I like because the lack of colour gives them a totally different feel and doesn't distract from what you've shown and the contrasts between dark and light.<br /><br />Congratulations on 10 years at work and hope that you can get the cysts sorted out without too much trouble.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410714441581467404noreply@blogger.com
