Walking is so good for me!

I am happy that I managed to walk a lot these last few days, well whatever is a lot for me. On Sunday I had this walk to the pool and back. Yesterday, on Monday, I had my homehelp coming in the morning as is usual on any Monday that does not happen to be a Public Holoday. So I had dear Summah with me yesterday. I always enjoy her presence. She is such good company and does so much for me during the three hours she stays with me. Yesterday she dropped me off at 12,30 to get my hair done. I have a hairdresser’s appointment every four weeks now. It is so good to get my hair washed and blowdried by my marvellous hairdresser. Yesterday she did a bit of haircutting again too. Also, there is always a lot of talking going on at the hairdresser’s. I find it is good for me to find opportunities for some talking. So, my lovely hairdresser did a good job again. Her shop is not far away from the Shopping Center at the Dapto Mall. So I could easily walk to the Mall with my rollator to have some lunch at a cafe called the shed. The other day I had looked at a blog of mine that was about ten years old and where I mention a nice meal I had in Berry with Peter, my husband. We always loved a trip to Berry. As a meal that day we both happened to choose Eggs Benedict with lovely crusty rye bred. Yesterday at the shed I daringly went for Eggs Benedict in rememberace of that lovely meal at Berry. To my surprise I did get exceptionelly good Eggs Benedict served. They were as good as the ones that we had in Berry the way I remember it.

Yesterday was an extremely hot and humid day. So, I was happy to stay for many hours in and near the the Shopping Center, doing a lot of walking as well as a bit of shopping. After an exhausting day I took a taxi home. After a lot of sleep, I feel refreshed this morning.

  1. So glad you had a good walk and a delightful Benedict and a wonderful time with your dear house helper, Uta. I have a terrific house helper, too. The house always smells good and sparkles when she leaves. I get spoiled by her kindness ad efficiency and good company every other week. “Bee” 🐝 well, Uta. God bless you! ❤️

  2. Your house helper sounds very good too, Jan, It is great to get this extra help, isn’t it? When my Lodzer grandmother was in her 70s, she had always two 14 year old girls as helpers.

    Tante Mietze, the very much loved great-aunt of Peter, my husband, came as a 14 year old from the country to take up a job in Berlin. I think this was at the end of the 1880s! Tante Mietze used to tell us how she worked for a very rich, kind family who had a number of people employd for all the housework. She liked her job which was to do the dusting of some furniture. Everybody was very kind to her!

    Many thanks for your comment, dear Jan.

    Hugs from Uta in Australia ❤
