First of all, I must apologise for the lack of a Reading Roundup post on Wednesday. The heat and humidity has been making me feel so unwell this week – I have been suffering from a very painful headache and nausea on top of my usual stuff. I think it has all been caused by a mixture of stress (family issues as usual), overheating and dehydration. The stress is now abating a little, the temperature is cooling down and I am trying to drink more water in addition to my usual multiple cups of tea.

I have managed to drag myself out of bed on occasion, but have not been able to dress in anything particularly nice. Basic Marks and Spencer vests with loose pyjama trousers have been my staple outfit all week, although I did manage to wear my turquoise linen-mix dress from Pure Collection on one day. Can I bear to upload a photo? I must admit that I look quite dreadful, but this blog is all about being truthful about my life, so here goes…

As we move into late Summer then early Autumn, I am planning to force myself to wear my nice outfits again and work my way through my very neglected Hermès scarf collection. After all, I bought my scarves to wear, not to store them in boxes!

And maybe I will manage a haircut…

Wishing you all a very Happy Weekend!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
