Breath is underrated. Since my 4th Takotsubo Syndrome Attack 9 days ago I am facing breathlessness with simple chores. Just walking up the stairs. Hanging out the washing. Doing the dishes. All require breath recovery time afterwards.
I have to remember that Takotsubo, while not a 'heart attack', is still an injury to the heart and that it can take a month or two for the heart muscle to recover.
I don't know if I have the luxury of time and rest right now.

So pleased that I quit smoking when I did. Must be at least 3 years ago now, I have lost track, but I am glad that even in the darkest hours so far it hasn't even crossed my mind. Would be such a terrible move to make.
Thank you all for your continued and much needed support. Your kind words and warmth are helping.

There was almost always a collection of excellent buskers on the streets of Glasgow, with a handful of exceptions that required ear plugs of course. They could completely alter the mood of the street too. I remember one guy that always sang miserable dirge and street photography on the days he was in town was always a difficult task with so many glum faces.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography my Flickr friends. Keep a song in your heart and a finger on the shutter button. Enjoy!

The joy of street photography is that you often stumble across the most unexpected of situations. What was a promotional event for a lingerie brand became a rather surreal opportunity for some shots on the city street.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead. Enjoy!

While millions upon millions of people around the world have seen their hard earned cash become stretched to the point of breaking, the multi-millionaires and billionaires of the world have seen their bank balances bulge ever more. The economic divide between rich and poor has never been greater than it is now.
There is a little humour in my title but the issue is serious business. Take care everyone.

Toenail update: I have a topical cream and referral to podiatry. The pain and swelling is less thanks to my self-care but the ingrown nail persists.
