Day 97 and I've been feeling a little brighter today. A morning walk in the sunshine with Rob, Angus and Molly was enjoyable, then home for a relaxing bath and a nap. James and Rob were out this afternoon so Angus and I did some baking - chocolate brownies for him to take to school - then he attempted to teach me one of his video games. I'm not sure if it's my blurry eyes or general lack of skill - but I didn't do very well! He and I then took Molly for her evening walk, which tired me out. I've managed to make some progress with the van Gogh puzzle, which I'm enjoying immensely. I love seeing close up how these talented artists use colour - adding dots and splashes of the most unlikely colours to bring out light and shade.
Today I'm wearing a pair of earrings Rob bought me from a jeweller he came across near his old work place - Studio Elke. He's purchased many items for me there, some of which are absolute favourites, especially the 'ring of totality' which is made from two silver bands and small balls of marble. These earrings he bought online and they are bigger than he expected, and than I usually wear - and a little off my usual colour palate. I've got them tucked away for one of those occasions where a statement piece is required! They look a little odd right now against my bald scalp and no hair to soften them, but were fun to wear nonetheless.
Getting ready for a new week ahead, filled with a few work and medical appointments and some friendly catchups to look forward to.

They are great! So is everything else in her store. Those dramatically named rings are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSomewhat surprised to see the entry for 30 April not mentioning my unhappy encounter with Ms Molly for whom I'd hitherto had nothing but affection - alas for her somewhat cool (for which read growling) response!
