Roscoff, Newhaven, and Week Seven already

So, week seven of my Year to Change already, but I've gone a bit time-less, having spent a few days visiting friends in the UK.

The ferry from Roscoff left in bright sunshine...

… and the UK was mild and sunny - if a bit blowy along the sea-front...

… but I was unprepared (despite the awesome veggie brunch plate to fortify me!)

for the chilly, wet weather back here in Brittany. Oh dear, a foretaste of what's to come? - I do hope not!

This week's 'task', while continuing to sniff and enjoy the different essential oils (rosemary last week, geranium this) is to use my non-dominant hand for everyday things like tooth and hair brushing - feels very strange, and very gently, compared with my usual routine - but then, that's the idea! I've not continued the various brain-training exercises from last month, but next week's suggestions about doing something/s differently, such as changing routines, looking at things upside-down, and learning something new will be fun.

My 'learning something new' is actually more like teaching, as I'll be working on some new study units for the seminary in the States (which awarded me my doctorate last December) to do with Northern/Norse and Germanic pre-Christian religions... à propos of which, please don't forget to have a look at my other blog page, Not An Ivory Tower - lots of stuff to browse there, and the link to it is on the right of this page. Enjoy! :-)
