 Morning everyone.  It's mild and damp, better than cold and frosty but sunshine would be loads better.  :-)

I got my early morning shopping done.  It wasn't as 'bad' as the last one and there were a couple of items I couldn't find but I think I am OK for two weeks now.  I might run out of some fresh veg but have freezer veg too so that's fine.

I decided to9 drive on to Lathcoats as I thought they might have what I wanted there.  They did have frozen cherries in their scoop and bag freezers and I also got some frozen blackberries but they didn't have what I really wanted which was wholemeal self raising flour.  Not everywhere stocks it but I've always got it from Lathcoats before so I was a bit disappointed.  I can, of course, get some plain wholemeal and turn it into SR with bicarb and baking powder but . . .

I popped into Dunelm to look at the clocks.  It's easier to tell what I don't want than what I do so I guess it is a process of elimination really.  There's plenty of time and plenty of places to look in so that will be fun.
What I did get in Dunelm was a pair of fluffy slipper boots (lovely and cosy), a couple of curver boxes for the clearing and tidying stuff and . .  a wooden board.

Going back to Saturday, the reason Gizmo was on the hob was because I didn't want to use it on the working surface.  I decided a plain wooden board would be the thing to get and, among fancy and expensive ones, there were a few plain and not-so-expensive boards so I bought one and now I can stand gadgets on it when they are in use.

So the shopping trip was a bit more expensive than expected but useful.

At home, instead of starting my bedroom cupboards, I re-organised the yarn.  I know I've not long done it but those curver boxes are ideal and I can get far more into them.  In fact, next month, I might go back and get a few more.

Personal Training was great, as always.  Lindsey is pushing me which is just what I need.

Today is pretty much the same as every Thursday - SET class online and then a good old chat at Chris' over coffee.
Then, I think I might just pop into town.  When I was in town last week with Alex, there were several places I'd liked to have looked in but didn't because it was Alex's shopping trip, not mine.  I might be able to get my flour in town too.  If it's pouring, I won't bother, but if it's not that bad, maybe I will.  I'll see.

Take care, stay warm and dry and have a lovely day.  xx
