Welcome to this Friday’s post! For once, we have had a busy and positive week. Tempers have frayed a few times, but we have made some progress.

A replacement porch has been ordered and we are hoping that the work will be done next month. We are also finally getting quotes for a stair lift so that Lovely Husband can get downstairs. He hasn’t seen the ground floor of our house or been outside since the end of April! Once again, we hope that the work can be done as soon as possible. At the time of writing, we have had two quotes with a huge difference between them (will need to look at this in more detail) and we should have another one on Monday. They have all said that a stairlift can be installed next week or the week after!

On Wednesday, I had two trips out of the house with Elder Son. In the morning, we went to the dentist for checks. Unfortunately, he needs to have a broken tooth extracted and has been referred on. We are hoping it won’t take too long as he is in pain. My teeth are OK, although I do need some stain removal treatment. I have known this for ages, but find it very hard to tolerate because of my chronic cough. So, I will have to think about whether I can manage the cleaning process. It’s all the fault of my tea addiction!

In the afternoon, we both had to go out again. This time it was for an appointment that ES needed. The session was very positive and ES was satisfied with the outcome, as were his Mum and Dad!

This is the outfit that I wore on Wednesday. It looks rather autumnal, I suppose, but I wanted to try out my new scarf! The purple and grey combination was very pleasing…

The outfit consisted of a purple twinset and grey jeans by Lands’ End, amethyst earrings by Blue Nile, and a purple leather wrap bracelet by Ferragamo. To continue the purple theme, I also carried my gorgeous bag in purple Africa leather by Massaccesi. Here it is…

I think I would like some grey boots! Any ideas where I could get some nice ones for wide feet?

Happy weekend to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
