It’s Friday, so it’s blog writing time! Well, this has been a great week for me. I have managed to exercise every day and also tick quite a few useful tasks on my list. So, I feel really positive and uplifted!

Most days have been dry, so I have taken a walk around our new area for around 15 to 20 minutes on those days. This is a lovely part of our town. Each house is different and many have pretty gardens. There are a few people around and I have greeted the dog walkers, the afternoon strollers, the pram pushers, and also an elderly man trimming the grass verge outside his home. Each and every one has responded with smiles and the occasional chat. I am enjoying living here!

I have another plan developing in my mind. We have a nice hotel quite near to us, just within reach of my short walks. I only need to push myself a little further. A few days ago I contacted them to ask if they would furnish me with a pot of tea and something sweet if I called in. The response was very promising, so I am aiming to do just that very soon. That way I can have a short break half way through my walk and also enjoy a treat. I wish Lovely Husband could accompany me, but he is unable to walk that far and both of us have had to give up driving.

Daily exercise, plus the completion of useful tasks, has really helped to lift my mood. When I spoke to my counsellor yesterday, she quickly noticed the improvement and suggested ways in which I can try to sustain this over the coming week. I really hope that I can do this.

I have also managed to wear some lovely outfits on some days. Here are three photos with gorgeous scarves…

The scarves are all by Hermès: De la Mer au Ciel (silk, 90cm), Plumes en Fête (cashmere/silk 140cm), and Sous le Charme d’Orphée (silk, 90cm, double sided). For more information about these stunning designs, have a look at my Scarf of the Moment posts. The links are in the sidebar.

Here are the larger images…

I am so fortunate to be able to wear such beauty! Scarves like these really help to uplift my mood.

Happy Weekend to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
