Looking out my window right now I see this faithful son bringing goodies to his mama. I love the contrast of tough biker vs the pastries in the bag.
A very dear friend, now since passed at well over 90, painted me this when I was very ill one time. It goes everywhere with me and is right beside my computer corner.
And in today's mail - my new swimsuit. There are many pools around me now and aquafitness sessions so I'm going to give it a bash. Mail ordering is the bomb.
You have an eclectic assortment there, WWW. I love that your friend gave you a painting--one of a kind and very special, just like you!
ReplyDeleteThank you E, as are you my dear :)

Nice suit! Also particularly enjoyed that biker. -Kate
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist taking a photo of him as he is like clockwork a few times a week.

I was a biker once and my son is one even now. I also know many other bikers who keep me up to date on the current developments in the field. I think that the tough image is highly inaccurate.

I hope that you have a grand time swimming. I too do almost all my shopping online nowadays.
Tongue in cheek on the biker thing Ramana, I once biked myself. I always enjoy large tough looking men doing kind and generous actions, breaking their stereotypes. And Daughter #2 rode a Harley and taught motor-cycle safety at a college.

Nice photos, great bathing suit!
ReplyDeleteA total bargain, Annie (end of season sale!). I've just lined up a friend to go swimming with.

PS I haven't forgotten your blog, just need to clear some time!
Very pretty swimsuit. Colorful and nice style, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gigi, sometimes we luck out, I've always had trouble getting a top to fit. This is doing it!

Especially for us shopping and mall haters. Best thing ever!

Thanks for the glimpses into your life, WWW - I enjoyed them. I like the swimsuit - I doubt you need this help, but the design of brighter mid panel and black sides will produce a nicely slimming optical illusion - even if you don't need it - you know what they say "You can never be too thin or too rich." :)
ReplyDeleteOh I need it, trust me T! That was part of the attraction for me!! I seriously don't know what happens to our waists as we age. They seem to slide down our thighs and gallop off screaming into the sunset. I gave up the hunt a while ago!!

Waist? there’s a faint indentation now. One of the reasons why I dread buying a swimming costume. I’m probably also allergic to chlorine in the water. No open water swimming round here.
ReplyDeleteNice idea to photograph and record a day’s doings. Something to copy.
Are you happy living in a more built up area?
I'm so happy to having downsized and looking ahead to the future Friko, perhaps not having a driver's licence, perhaps having my PVD get worse and be closer to all amenities like community bus, hospitals, doctors and home care if needed.
DeleteTo answer your question: I was ready, couldn't be happier to have the burden of my home and B&B business gone forever.

What a truly delightful eclectic collection.
ReplyDeleteBooks are a necessity here. Knowing that, my greedy self cannot stop purchasing/acquiring them.
Love the swimsuit and it is a reminder that I should get back in the water.
I've become a library freak and stopped purchasing, a shocking fact to those who know me as I've had thousands of books on hundreds of shelves throughout my life, EC!
DeleteMy local library has an inter-library Canada service along with securing most books I want and emailing me when ready for pickup.
Yes, I'm looking forward to swimming again.

Bully for you, getting a new swimsuit and getting into aquatic exercise. You have worked so hard to build a new life, and you've done it. I'm sure it's not perfect, but you have made the decisions that set it up just the way you wanted it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, it has been an adventure and I've enjoyed it so far, nothing is perfect but this suits me admirably.
DeleteI hope you are doing OK.
