I’ve started to write this post several times this week and find myself without much to say. I knew this was likely to happen as I settle into a routine.
I’ve had another wonderful week with visiting friends. I was happy to hear their impressions of Pézenas and even happier to have them cook for me. I also met more Canadians and enjoyed a visit to their home in a nearby town. On other days, I went swimming, had drinks with a neighbour and went for some walks.
Occassionally, people ask me if I’m really doing as well as my blog indicates. I am! I’ve been waiting for – watching for – signs of anxiety, loneliness or doubt. But they just don’t come. Aside from a few moments of exasperation, my mood has been steady and I’m happy and content.
Rather than my usual Challenges (how many times can I complain about my aching knees?), Learnings and Joys, I’m just going to post some photos from in and around Pézenas.
As I was preparing for my move, I knew that I would have guests coming and going through the first few months. It was comforting to know they would be here. I’m aware that, with my friends leaving tomorrow, a new chapter is about to begin. I expect to shift into more solid routines and I have a few ideas of what that will look like.
This coming week, I’ll take care of the next big administrative task – applying for my health card. I’m going to exchange my driver’s license, too. And I’ll let you know what routines I’m able to implement in next week’s blog.
À bientôt .
Lovely to hear you’re doing well. I hope to plan a visit one day. Good luck with the health card process.
Hi Sue! Your photos say so much! So glad to hear all is flowing nicely for you. 😊
