Welcome to my blog. For most of this year I have been using Friday’s posts to log our house moving saga. Today I don’t have any news for you on that front, instead I am writing about my first trip out of the house for ages!

I have been really struggling with my physical and mental health, which have become much worse since we moved. There are errands that I need to run, so I have been trying to get those done for a while. On so many days I have got dressed and ready to leave the house, only to feel ill and frightened to leave the safety of our home. So, I am feeling very pleased that I was able to go into town, supported by my very lovely Elder Son.

First, we took the gorgeous picture that I showed you the other week to the framer. I spent quite a lot of time choosing the frame and the coloured backgrounds. I am sure that the final effect will be lovely.

The next task was to go to my appointment at the optician’s. I had my eyes tested and chose two pairs of glasses. I have had reading glasses for a while, but now also need distance glasses to watch TV! I paid for more extras for the reading glasses because I spend most of my time reading! Well, the logic of that made sense to me!

Finally, ES and I went to a café for drinks and treats, together with a chat. While we were there, we bumped into some old friends and caught up with all of the news. ES then sorted out the taxi home and I am now sitting in bed again writing this post.

Regular readers of this blog will know that I take any opportunity to wear a nice outfit, usually with a lovely scarf. Today’s scarf was Hermès’ Mythiques Phoenix Coloriage with clothing in navy blue. I also carried one of my favourite Massaccesi handbags in pale blue and wore a Liberty of London bangle.

Here’s a quick photo…

The lower part of the scarf looks like this when tied…

Right! I think that is enough for now. I shall spend the rest of the afternoon reading my book and drinking tea.

Happy Weekend to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
