Hi HUC.
I took this photo from my window at sunrise. The image doesn't reflect the beauty of it at all but it really was stunning to see. A great start to my day with my morning coffee.
It reminds me of

hi how are you doing Paul?
Hi Blue.
I'm good thanks. I have had campylobacter for 11 days and spent most of the time on the loo. Excuse my way of expressing this but I woke at 1-30 am this morning and needed the loo (badly). I thought Putin had got trigger-happy and nuked the village I live in! It was like a bomb going off 🤣🤣🤣
My motion had blood in it. That did for me - taking an anticoagulant with internal bleeding is not the best of ideas.
So get this. I called the doctor at 8.40 am and they said to come in at 9.15 am - the surgery in Gnosall is the best I have been to. It's the same every time - theres no waiting or having to call back 20 times because the line is engaged. They answer there and then and always see you within an hour. If they can do it I wonder why other surgeries can't do the same. My last surgery was almost impossible to contact by phone and they were always fully booked anyway - you had to wait a week or two to see a doctor. Many times I was unable to contact them by calling and had to drive to surgery to try and make an appointment.
Luck of the draw I guess.
I hope you are doing well too.
Paul
That sounds sounds nasty. I got CDIF when I was in last year and oh my totally flooded me. I ended up being in hospital for two weeks. I went in with a very acute UTI and was really poorly. I was just getting over that and then I caught Covid on the ward. Then two days later, I ended up with CDIF. it took me just over two full months to properly get over it.
Hi Blue.
Sorry to hear that but pleased you made a full recovery, although it did take sometime.
Always stay positive.
Paul
Where's Gnosall? Lovely sunrise, GP surgery functioning as it should and the lovely Paul. I want to move.
Hi Ang.
Gnosall is on the border of Stafford and Shropshire. It's a nice village but not much happens here. It's in a rural area and most of the people who live here are 80+ dog walkers or tractor drivers. You have to drive an old tractor (not a car) to really fit in lolz.
Here's a picture of my local. It's lovely in the summer to sit outside and grab some lunch.
Paul
Local
🤣. Since having AF, I find excitement is overrated 😁. Don't think I fancy the tractor....... where would I put my Tesco shop?A friend lives in Market Drayton, so not a million miles away. I'll tell her about the pub. 😊
Simple solution Ang. Get a donkey or horse instead and attach a small trailer at the back to carry your Tesco shopping.
The villagers in Bulgaria do this all the time and are quite inventive with this!
Paul
Horse and car Bulgaria
A horse? Nayyyyyy. 😁.
Come on Ang - don't be a neigh-sayer.
Get it - 'neigh' sayer.
OK, I'll get my coat 
Paul
Boom, boom! I think I need to trot off now, before I get saddled with anymore bad jokes and I don't want to get us hoofed off the forum .......... I thannnnk you. 😊
That reminds me of a good joke Ang. However, I better not tell on the forum. The punch line is'no I said I want to see it trot, not see it's tw@t you daft b@@@@r.
Now I really will get my coat and leave.
Have a great evening.
Paul
🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant 😁
Your an old romantic Paul but lovely photo
Hi Fair.
Enough of the 'old' romantic please 🤣 Just romantic will do 😉
Have a wonderful day.
Paul
I'll have to settle for a wonderful evening as it's 10 pm in New Zealand. That sounds like an awful bug you had I hope your looking after yourself.
So beautiful 😍
Thanks Sharon. The photo doesn't really do it justice compared to seeing it. 10 minutes later it was gone. Life is like this - opportunities soon pass. Grab 'em while you can.
Paul
thank you, I love this .. it is a wonderful world ...
Perfect start! Xxx
Hi 'our Wil'.
A perfect start to the day as you say. I like to start and finish my day on a happy note. I hope you are keeping well.
Paul
Hiya!Yes after a similar nasty bug hit me Boxing Day...yuk!
I'm currently away for few days with my sister in Devon,so sea air might pick me up as I'm still a bit weedy I hope.
Been a bit down with chronic back issues and youngest son has marital problems. Hate it when I can't kiss it better for him like a child.!
Keep well Paul 🙏 ✨️
Beautiful photo Paul and I love that song. It certainly is a wonderful world for us here in the UK.
Hi Jean.
The world really is a place of wonder - certainly in nature. It's a shame the human race doesn't pull its finger out and get climate change, wars and hunger sorted out.
Maybe one day?
Paul
I was going to say the same thing about humans but then thought no keep my response nice. Louis Armstrong's voice is wonderful, his exaggerated facial expressions make me smile and what beautiful white teeth he had. He died in 1971 and this much loved song of his will live on forever.
Jean
Hi
Um
A girlfriend's funeral played "a wonderful world".
She was 42 and died then her estranged boyfriend, driving her truck hid a concrete 2-lane bridge on her side. I had been talking to her at 9am and she died in the arms of the fire brigade at 4pm. No airbag on passenger side. Her girl behind was left brain damaged. Their son 2 was OK with the driver having the only airbag.
The music piece was soooo inappropriate. But she had planned her funeral earlier and that is what she wanted.
At aged 16 years working in a children's hospital we nurses all got "shigala". a nasty stomach bug. Nurses sent home, children ended up in the main hospital.
A soda drink gone flat was the best we were told to replace minerals and to hydrate.
Remember pinch of salt, tspn glucose and juice of fruit for replenishment.
It was a terrible experience, But we washed nappies whilst handking the children in spinal chairs, calipers, cerebral palsy etc.
You will soon be over it. REST REST Paul. Too much on the computer. Your head needs a rest.
cheri JOY
Hi Joy.
Sorry to hear about your friend. 42 is far to young to pass.
Regards Paul
Beautiful photo ❤️ Thank you for sharing it. Love the song
Thanks Babs.
Louis Armstrong was a very talented man. He sung that song with such passion. Put it on pause at 1.5 minutes into the song. He has tears in his eyes.
To think that was recorded live! He puts some of these 'wanna be's' on the X Factor and Britains Got Talent to shame. Saying that the shows have found some real talent.
Susan Boyle anyone? It was amusing when she first came on as everyone was laughing at her when she said she wanted to sing with Elaine Paige. The laughter soon stopped when she started to sing. She went on to achieve her ambition.
Paul

Yes Louis Armstrong was amazing. Yes I remember Susan Boyle the first time she sang. Great voice
100% agree Babs. He and Susan Boyle have much talent. What a shame they weren't able to do a duet together. With their different styles that would have been a number one hit!
Paul
In the last few days we’ve had sunrises like this here in the Pennines. They certainly lift the spirits. And the snow is finally thawing and I can get my car out. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photo.
I thought we weren’t supposed to be having coffee! But impressed you were awake so early to take the interesting photo.
Hi Vonnegut.
I tend to be an early riser - normally wake up around 5am. Have my coffee and watch Sky News then get stuck in to working on my projects online. It's when I'm most alert and switched on. By mid-afternoon I start lagging and cannot work so well. I need to be switched on as most of my work is very techy. Early morning is when I'm most productive.
Cheers Paul
That’s interesting - but if you feel more awake then you don’t need coffee, which I thought was bad for us!
Life without my morning coffee 'O' clock would be unbearable Vonnegut. Take the shirt off my back but leave my coffee alone heheh.
Paul
If it’s ok for you, that’s fine! Fortunately, by the time I got the PAF I had gone off coffee preferring herbal teas
hi Paul, Iv had upset digestive system too lately.!!! I’m ok now thankfully but every visit was like a flock of starlings, excuse the phrase but you get the gist.?
Hi Jet.
I understand your gist only too well! The doctors perception has worked wonders for me and I'm back on track
Paul
Nice one.👍
Thank you. Sorry to hear you have been ill Paul. That’s a nasty thing to get and l had something similar several years ago. High temperature with it. I remember keeping hydrated and as it was nil by mouth, l had glucose tablets and boiled water. Terrible couple of weeks. Take care.
Thanks Cavalierruble.
Indeed it knocks you about quite a lot. I still completed my tasks for the week even though all I wanted to do was sleep. I'm proud of myself for doing this.
Paul
Yes, it knocks the stuffing out of you (pun intended). I lost a few pounds l can tell you! Not a nice way to lose weight. Love your photo. I saw that too and so did a friend of mine. Something spiritual about that morning wasn’t it?
Hi Cavalierrubie. Yes, indeed it was spiritual.
I've been exploring spirituality for some years now (just for personal interest). I approach it from a scientific point of view. As Quantum Physics moves forward some things can't be explained by any sceptics or conventional physics. Quantum Entanglement is one such example. It blows Einsteins E = mc2 out of the water. There are other scientific tests conducted which prove conciseness changes matter.
This isn't really the right forum to discuss this so I'll leave it at that.
Have a great day.
Paul
Agreed! The red sky here in Ohio this morning was awesome too!
Wow Snow - sounds awesome. Mine you you know what they say - red sky at night, shephards delight. Red sky in the morning, shephards warning!
Paul
...and they're right. The snow started a half hour ago!
how beautiful....am usually up around 05:30, never seen such golden sunrise.
But then every sunrise has its beauty, as it heralds another day.
BTW, I like your ginger cat. I got one of them too, love him to bits.
pigeon
Hi Pigeon.
Henry was dog not a cat! He was a rescue dog without any teeth but he had guts. He was very processive about me and if anyone came near me when he was sitting on my knee he would attack them! I was the only person who he liked - everyone else he hated
Paul
