Oxnead Hall gardens (Day 9 of 30)

[nanila]

I accidentally took this photo of a statue in the Oxnead Hall gardens while in macro mode on my phone, and I rather like how it turned out. Also I need another peaceful image today, because it's been eighteen years, and I still find this particular date to be very hard work, not least because on this day in 2001, my grandfather had just died. Why on Earth I decided to do this project in September, the most fraught month in my personal calendar, I do not know.

ETA, literally five minutes later: I have just received the news that my Auntie V died this morning.

Dear September,
Are you fucking kidding me?
No love,
Nanila

I'm very sorry for your loss.

[nanila]

Thank you - much appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about your Auntie V. September can fuck all the way off into the bin and then into the sea.

[nanila]

Thank you. Yes, yes it can. Almost halfway through. Not that I'm counting or anything.

[worlds_of_smoke]

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. :(

[nanila]

Thank you. I'm...more than a little annoyed that September has dumped this one on me, just as it had achieved a small amount of redemption with the happy wedding. :/

[quoththeravyn]

So sorry to hear about V.

For what it's worth, the photo is wonderful. Misconfigured cameras are some kinda magic, aren't they?

[nanila]

Thank you.

They are indeed. My phone camera is almost too fancy for its own good.

I'm sorry. That is very shit of September.

[nanila]

It's terrible timing. Just as it had achieved a small amount of redemption with the happy wedding. Two thumbs down, September.

[tree_and_leaf]

I'm so sorry. *hugs* if you want them.

[nanila]

Hugs gratefully accepted. Thank you.

[silveradept]

The photo is very nice.

The ETA, however, is a major foul on September and good reason to not acknowledge its existence for a long time.

[nanila]

Thank you. Only 17 days left. Sigh.

[brainwane]

[nanila]

I am so sorry for your loss.

Perhaps this project can give you a moment of peace and personal time each day in a hard month.

[nanila]

Thank you. That's a very good way of looking at it; I shall endeavour to treat it so henceforth. <33333
