Over the weekend I came to the decision that I really should make a huge effort to shake myself out of this current malaise. I am spending most of every day in bed feeling sorry for myself. OK, I keep myself entertained with reading, web surfing and TV watching (and spending too much money on frivolity) and I am not being miserable and gloomy with loved ones, but, generally speaking, I am in a pit.
So, I began to make a plan for gentle exercise and more involvement in household activities. I felt really upbeat and positive.
BUT, since then I have had coughing attack after coughing attack and all I could do was stay in bed recovering before the next one! So, what can I do? I am too frightened of starting off another bout. What would I do if a cough started and I was out on a walk?
Just in case readers don’t understand how severe and frightening one of my coughs can be, there is a full description here and at the start of this post.
Right, I will now try to push away the feelings of gloom and doom by looking and pictures of cute furry animals…

Ahhh! That’s better!
Love and best wishes,

Hi Anne, my husband has a medical practice and I think he might be able to help you with your cough. Feel free to email me and I’ll send you his clinic info. We live in the US.
On a more frivolous note, I stopped by Hermes duty free in London yesterday. A lovely SA helped me and I had so much looking at scarves with her. I showed her a photo of my shelf w Hermes scarves at home and she said it looked like their boutique!! I have them all labeled.
I couldn’t find the Lazy Leopardesses scarf. They didn’t get the new fall 2021 merchandise yet. I was also disappointed that they don’t have ‘duty free’ prices any more!! But in San Francisco duty free I scored! I found last season’s Cosmographia Universalis 90 in the color I wanted, blue, pink with a white border. I love that scarf and already have it in orange-navy-yellow and another in blue and white. This third one I saw recently online, listed by a private seller and priced very high so I was very happy to find it in the duty free. They were also closed during Covid and have last year’s merchandise.
I enjoy your post. Hope the cough goes away soon and you have more energy for books and scarves 😉

Dear Helena, thank you for your lovely post. Your scarf collection sounds amazing! I wish I could visit some of the boutiques, but sadly I haven’t been able to travel for years. Thank you for the suggestion of contacting your husband. Fortunately, I have excellent doctors here in the UK and they have done their utmost to help me. It is just that I have a multitude of health issues!
Happy scarf hunting and best wishes, Anne x
