Hello and welcome to my weekly roundup of posts you may have missed during the week…weather wise it heating up a little during the day but we still have colder mornings but they are better for an early morning walk and I have to tell you that today I jogged in short spurts for the first time in 40 years and I am so proud of myself I’m buzzing even my son was impressed…Yeah! Go me!… Today my early morning walk/jog was 7.26km…

As you may know, I am cutting down on my blogging to enable me to finish the 2 cookbooks I have been working on…so this will be a shorter read…

Monday Musings…

Monday Musings will stay as it’s generally not too long a post and it’s a chance to showcase other posts I have liked during the last week or snippets of news…

Thursday Thoughts…

Jennie asked me if Thursday Thoughts was replacing Saturday Snippets …it wasn’t but maybe now it is… it’s good to change the day of the week and I can find little snippets whatever day it is-smile-and Thursday was no different it was “Twelfth Night” which is still celebrated in the UK and in Sweden plus in Spain they celebrate with a “Three Kings Parade” thank you, Darlene, for mentioning this I hope you had fun x

Saturday I repeated Sally’s rewind of the start of her Health Series…in this first series Sally is exploring the brain and its functions…having seen my mother with Vascular Dementia and how traumatic it is to her loved ones plus I’m sad that my mother has been robbed of her memories ….this means that I am making a concerted effort to do everything I can to stave off the sands of time it is important for me to reread this series and implement anything that I believe will help me and my brain stay healthy …if it doesn’t and nobody knows what the future holds but I will have done everything possible and that’s the bottom line…Please click the highlighted link below to read the original post x
