Well, here we are again with another Friday post. Despite all of our problems, the weeks seem to fly past. Lovely Husband is still stuck upstairs and we have stopped counting the weeks. Elder Son and I are trying to keep things ticking over. When Younger Son was here he did a lot of cleaning and tidying, so we are doing our best to keep those areas in particular in a good state.

LH says that he feels stronger, but is unable to go downstairs. Since I had the scare with my right leg (a GP told me I am developing osteoarthritis in my hip), I have tried to do my exercises properly and I no longer have any pain. I’m also being more careful about carrying heavy trays up the stairs, so that might be helping.

We have been spending time trying to sort out and organise a variety of matters, such as getting repairs done on the house. After waiting for some quotes from a range of companies, we have only received two. It is really annoying how unreliable many of these people are. Some didn’t turn up for agreed appointments, others haven’t sent quotes even after being chased. This is so disappointing! Anyway, we will probably decide to go with one of the two. At least we will have made a start on the large number of issues we have with the house and garden. Next week’s focus will be on getting quotes for a stair lift so that LH get get his freedom back.

On a more upbeat note, the lovely man who helps us with the garden has come today, with a friend, to tackle the impenetrable jungle that it has become over the months. It will be so wonderful to be able to wander down again without feeling horribly guilty!

The two Hermès scarf designs that interest me the most have still not yet appeared on the UK website! I am beginning to think that they are some kind of mirage and that we will never see them in real life. I have already shown you the colourways that I have found for Au Royaume d’Helios, 70cm scarf, but I recently saw some for La Vallée de Cristal, 90cm scarf, designed by Ugo Bienvenu.

Here they are:

I think these look really amazing and, in fact, don’t know yet which I like the best! Which do you prefer, if any? I would love to know. If I find any more colourways I will add them on this post.

OK, I think that is all for now. Happy Weekend to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
