Lovely here, albeit a tad breezy. Tackled some ivy which was taking hold of a Cherry Plum. Very thick in places and welded onto trunk. I know ivy is good for wildlife but it was taking over.
Having a cuppa and crumpets now.
Sounds like a migraine @didyw but if you have a known eye concern then have that checked tomorrow, or contact an ‘out of hours’ service if any vision issues today.
We all get migraines differently but mine start with the flashing lights. In my case a circle of what I can only describe as being like those 70s (that's how old I am) flashing disco light ropes. At the same time I get tunnel vision - the light circle grows and grows until it seems to go beyond view - then the nausea and headache start. Luckily neither of those are too bad at all - I feel generally naff for a day or so after though.
I'm at the naff stage @steveTu! It was awful trying to read text when I had the zigzags - as if they were cutting through the fabric of my vision with bright lights behind. I used to get migraines all the time when going through the menopause (that's how old I am) but they stopped quite a few years ago and I never got auras with them - just pain that went nuclear! Not as bad as that this time.
I went to my ophthalmologist on Friday and he said I have the beginnings of this age related macular degeneration. If I get black spots in my vision to contact him immediately and get in there!! I wouldn't hesitate @didyw "Get thee to a doctor!!"
