I am doing a lot of thinking about flourishing and mindfulness at the moment. I am not certain that I can explain why. However they feel important. This afternoon I was watching another of Chandi, from Expression Fiber Arts’ videos. There is something about her approach that I find both charming and engaging. She wasContinue reading “Dance like there’s no one looking!”

I often find that days don’t go as I expect and that has certainly been the case today. Tomorrow I am hosting mindfulness and offering lunch, so given it was knit and natter this afternoon I needed to get that sorted this morning. I also needed to do some cleaning. All of that went toContinue reading “Not quite as expected!”

Sometimes I think using what you know and understand is possibly better than trying something new. This is not a negative sentiment, far from it. However if we are to find meaning, a sense of worth, we need to be able to accomplish things. More of this later. This morning I had a blood test,Continue reading “Meaning and accomplishment”

Aristotle talks about the pleasurable or good life. Notions of flourishing are drawn from his discussions. He talks about a life well lived. This weekend, particularly yesterday, was about a pleasurable life. As some of you will have seen I finished my cardigan on Saturday. I’m actually very pleased with how it turned out. IContinue reading “A pleasurable weekend”

I am back to discussing health, mine and that of others too. I have found that many of us are really quite good at knowing what is wrong, or right with our bodies and much of the time we can look after our health. However, there are times when we need that extra support, whenContinue reading “A little of what you fancy – personal enjoyment”

Firstly I do need to thank everyone who has enquired after my health and sent me good wishes. I was explaining to someone that a few years ago, if I accidentally ate gluten it would take about 24 hours and I’d be back to normal. Now it can take days or even longer. So whilstContinue reading “Finding the yarn!”

I thought I would be writing today about the great weekend that I had. And I did have a great weekend. Coffee and cake on Saturday, a jubilee party with Pimm’s on Sunday and a trip to the cinema. A really lovely weekend. On Monday we decided to finish the weekend off with a tripContinue reading “Intolerances…”

There are often times when I think, ooh I should have written about that and I forget to do so. Usually life moves on and I don’t come back to it. On this occasion it’s worth mentioning. Last Friday when we were in Morlaix we walked past a shop that was selling crochet covered juteContinue reading “How much?!!”

A strange title I know. However that is what today has been about. Therefore it seemed appropriate. I woke a little late this morning. I never feel that it’s a good start when you find that it’s later than you thought. I then spent some time answering emails and looking at things online. As partContinue reading “Procrastination and bunting”

I like Wednesdays. Mostly because it’s knit and natter in the afternoon. I don’t often sit down to crochet in the daytime, I feel as though I should be doing something more productive. Knit and natter is an opportunity to do it legitimately. Today appears to have been a bit of a lazy day. IContinue reading “Wonderful Wednesday!”
