Morning, people!  Did you sleep well?
After a lovely, sunny day yesterday, it is now raining again - I put up my 'ood when I went out to the shed to get today's freezer supplies - and Beeb suggests that it will last all morning.  However, yesterday was lovely and sunny; very windy too so it felt colder than it was but sunshine is very cheering.

The bulbs know, don't they?  

Thankfully, there were no holdups driving into town for SW group.  Jen, Michelle (the other lady on 'the desk' with me) and I were all early so there was no rush to get things out and ready.
Michelle can't always make it as she's a very busy lady with work commitments, but it was good that she could come yesterday because we had seven (I think it was seven, might have been eight) new members so Jen was able to do the New Members talk to them while we manned the desk.  It was buzzing, a great atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I'd lost a bit of weight which is always nice and, as I said on the other blog, while I wasn't slimmer of the week by a long shot, I got the hamper as the lady who was didn't stay.  That'll help my low/no spend!

Then I came home, had breakfast, did some tidying up, did my Shimmy Snippet, then had a sit down and promptly fell asleep which was very nice indeed.

Later on, I drove over to Lindsey's and, alongside quite a crowd, had a good rootle through the donations, having already made my donation.  There were a few things I quite liked but not enough to actually take but there was a brand new (it still had the silicon sachet thing inside) clutch bag, very simple, navy and I loved it so I did come home with one thing.  I will take it with me for my weekend at Five Lakes at the start of February, to use in the evenings.  I don't 'dress up' as such, but nice shoes and a nice bag go a long way!

When I got home, the cleaner (just one this week) was in full flow so I kept out of her way.  

And that was the day pretty much over.

Today starts with the day's Shimmy Snippet which, I believe, is a full SET (Strike, Energise, Tone) class live online.  When I did the Thursday one, I was expecting it to be just the first section, a fifteen minute Strike segment, but I could have stayed for the whole class.  Today looks to be the same, joining the SET class at half past eight live and online.  This time I can do the whole class so fingers crossed it is the same as Thursday.  Just think - if I can stay for the whole class, that's five exercise classes per week, plus the little Snippets.  Who would have thought it?  Wherever Mum and Dad are now, they must be laughing their socks off!

After that, the day's my own.  I might do a bit of gardening in the afternoon, if it dries up, and there might be a full load in the washing basket but we will see.

After decades of pretty busy Saturday's fitting in all the stuff I couldn't do from Monday to Friday because of work, I take great delight in looking at almost empty diary pages for Saturday and Sunday nowadays.  I love getting great pleasure from small things . . . how about you?

Have a fab day, everyone.  xx
