Although weekends seem to blend into the week, I still aim to maintain workday, chore day/play day balance. Last weekend, we drove across the Golden Gate for some sun, but did not find it in Sausalito, nor Corte Madera in the early morning hours, so we kept on driving all the way to Sonoma, and walked through the wineries and some wonderful neighborhoods, soaking in the tree lined quaint town – so different from San Francisco.

I felt super refreshed, and charged up and ready to tackle the week – which consists of working twelve hour days, plus taking care of my aging mum, and all other mundane details.

So by Friday, I am ready to bolt out of the house and do some outdoor activities in line with our new lifestyle – masks, distances, and lots of hand washing.

Considering the weather in the city is steady gray and cold, I think I will be heading back out to the wine country, and find a another amazing path to explore…I’ll keep you posted.

What are you doing this weekend?

In case you are hiding from the muggy, rainy weather in your part of the world, then proceed further:

I kind of love the idea of hand me down wedding gowns – did you see Princess Beatrice’s effort to transform her grandmother’s gown for her wedding?

There is apparently a map detailing ancient Britain. Would you trace that map?

I assumed California was pretty self reliant, but this nation apparently is one to reckon with

How much do you believe in natural healing rituals?
