Every cloud has a silver lining

Sometimes in life, certain events, that at first appear to be a nuisance, end up being opportunities to change perspectives.
Since my car is still being repaired, I try to walk as much as possible, but sometimes, I must cover longer distances by taxi or by bus. 

If on the one hand waiting times are very long, on the other, not driving allows to better observe all what that surrounds you. Walking is also very pleasant, especially if you're in good company.
So, although impeded to move rapidly, I've done my best to keep my little, pleasant habits.
Have breakfast with a hot cappuccino and a croissant.

Have lunch with my daughter at the nearby Dulcamara, taking advantage of the Christmas break,

and do some window shopping with her, as to find new ideas to add to our Christmas wish list.

Little habits that, when accomplished without using the car, become even more pleasant and stressless, and are beneficial to my health and for the environment.
No car? No problem! :-)
