Weekly Reflections

another jigsaw puzzle completed
 

Reasons to be cheerful ...

  • chatting, texting and emailing with family and friends
  • enjoying some quiet times in my new home
  • buying a walking pad (small treadmill) to help with exercising at home and hopefully improving my mobility
  • watching series 1 of Department Q ... it took a while to get used to the bad language but overall it was a good story and we both enjoyed it
  • buying tickets to see 'The Simon and Garfunkel Story' in July
  • getting my hair cut and feeling more human again
  • meeting a couple more neighbours ... so far everyone has been very friendly and approachable
  • having a relatively healthy week ... only two migraines this time!
  • planning for the renovation of my new home, this time thinking of the specifics for decorations, i.e. stage 3. We haven't even started stage 1 yet, but I now have a good idea of the bigger picture of what I'd like some of the rooms to look like.
  • completing my latest jigsaw (see photo above), and buying a 'Talking Jigsaw Puzzle' for my next one
  • adding more dates to my diary
  • playing the piano 

I am grateful ...
  • for gardener M's gift of some plants from her garden, so that I can have some colour in mine this year
  • for the NHS and the support they will give my sister for the rest of her life, following her latest diagnosis of cancer, fortunately treatable this time but not curable
  • for all the rain the gardens have been enjoying ... mine definitely needed it!

  1. Sounds like a really lovely week. It's amazing how good a haircut can make you feel! I have one coming up this week and I can't wait. My hair right now just feels like a mop of frizz lol
    The jigsaw is beautiful

    1. It was a lovely week, apart from my sister's diagnosis of course. I have naturally curly hair which is fine for a while but once it reaches the ringlets stage I can't wait to get it cut, which is usually every six weeks now.

      The jigsaw was an impulse buy. It was much harder than I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed doing it. xx
