Saturday 11^th August

I thought I would ‘Seize the Day’ today and arrived at the supermarket at 7.45am- determined to get the food shopping out of the way so I could enjoy the sunshine!

Arriving home and shopping unpacked, I thought I would just make a quick ratatouille, also roasted some vegetables for a salad and prepared the fish for tonight’s supper- (I did have ‘hubby help’!) Two loads of washing on the line and a few perfunctory house jobs done, I took myself off to the beach!

The In-laws came for supper tonight, so I used the opportunity for a photo or two, however I had the camera turned on me, and the result is my ‘blog pose’!!! No bandanna (far too hot!) and glasses on the end of my nose! Hubby said “You’d better be careful, you really will scare people”! Charming! Don't worry, that's NOT going on the blog!!

I found this statement tonight written by a fellow blogger and it pretty well sums it up…. 

I'm just one of many hundreds of people who blog about their illness or trauma, and, according to Dr Tom Farsides of Sussex University, this is not surprising: "Writing is an effective way of processing and coming to terms with challenging and potentially traumatic events," he says. "But blogging is more than the mere act of writing. It also fosters senses of both control and social connection, each of which is crucial for psychological wellbeing."
