Bateaux Mouches Scarf knit in a grey yarn by Drops.
Alpaca and Silk
It is super soft with a nice drape...
very cozy and warm for these colder days.
Mornings this week have been very icy...
A delightful week of Yoga
Yoga for Osteoporosis
Yoga for Balance
Yoga For Hips
Scraping the ice off the car before heading off to Yoga Class.
I am focused on the new classes
which are improving my hip alignment and strengthening the muscles that support the hip.
Training me to be in balance
with a goal of stability and the ability to avoid future falls.
All of this is taking up time and energy and are an investment in my health.
My flexibility is not what it was prior to COVID.
My goal is to
get back as much flexibility as possible.
My instructor says it takes time.
Do you practice Yoga?
\Marshalls dressing room selfie...
I LOVE denim!
So when I spied this soft cozy fleecy knit denim blue shirt...
I pounced and have been wearing it on rotation these past few weeks.
I am loving this new Sonsie skincare.
The redness from my rosacea has completely calmed down.

Joanne from Steveston came to Victoria for a few days.
We got together for an afternoon of fun.
Shopped thrift and consignment shops
visited the Vic West Market on Catherine Street
before we had lunch at The Snug in The Oak Bay Beach Hotel.
The Market has a very European Vibe...
lots of interesting food items and the displays are works of art!
Am knitting another Bateaux Mouches Scarf/Shawl
Using Bamboo Yarn in white for Summer.
Feels lovely in the hand...soft and light.
Soup for lunch at Pure Vanilla...
red lentil with a spicy tang.
New LG Washer and Dryer Set
Our former set were
15 years old and the washer ground to a halt on Saturday.
I had to rinse the entire load in the bathtub
before wringing the clothes by hand to dry!
Our laundry room is bright and cheerful...
I can look out onto the Humble Bungalow Garden while working downstairs.
There are some rustic touches in the minimalist decor.
Simple
but so important!
There are Joys in clean clothes and freshly ironed cottons.
I spend a LOT of time doing laundry!
Another sourdough Boule has baked...
"Alexandra Cooks" basic sourdough recipe is my favourite.
After making bread for several years now I can do it with my eyes closed :-))
The flavour is amazing and the bread is easy to make.
Do you bake your own bread?
White Orchid
Do you shop local?
Think we need to help these shops stay open and keep their business thriving.
So many small businesses are struggling to survive and many are already shut down.
Buying Power is in our hands
(and wallets)
we have choices
through our decisions of
who we buy from...
where we spend our money
If we
consciously
support companies run and owned by women.
We are empowering them to continue...
Just like the
Cordova Candle Company who are local and make lovely scented soy candles.
I light mine every morning while I sip my coffee and read my socials.
What are your favourite local shops?
Are you a repeat customer?
Do you know the women behind the business?
Speaking of Socials...
several friends have quit Facebook
others are taking a 3 week break from all online platforms.
Are you considering leaving any of your social memberships?
We have the power to make changes...
it is up to each of us to decide what is right.
What is new with you?
Are you worried about the state of the world?
Have you, like me, had to limit your exposure to the news?
I do not go down rabbit holes...
I act locally...making changes where I can see the results of those efforts.
I bake, I knit, I drink tea, I read, I walk, I go to Yoga, I live an honest and simple life.
