Morning! Another early start but not quite as early as the past few days, for which I am truly grateful. It doesn't feel too cold right now although it looks increasingly likely that next week will start a colder and more seasonal spell of weather. We will see.
As pretty much always nowadays, yesterday was a very pleasant day. Sunshine made it even nicer.
It started off with my weekly shop at M&S and Aldi. I came home with what I need for the week plus some nice, festive goodies, all of which are now out of sight in garage and freezer until needed. It's always a nice start to the day, wandering round those two shops at a time that isn't too crowded, either on the road or in store. I'm sure things will get more frantic as we get closer to Christmas but I am aiming to have everything but the fresh stuff in before that starts.
After putting things away, I pottered for a while before leaving for personal training. It was as good as it always is and Lindsey and I had a really good chat as we worked. It was good.
For the rest of the day, the washing, drying and ironing got finished and I did a lot of knitting and reading. Nice.
Today starts with coffee and chat with Chris as always and then I am continuing to work through The List which has a number of new things added. Seth's team might do the guttering today, providing the materials have arrived but, at the moment, that is far from sure. We will see.
And that's it so I am guessing the knitting will grow quite well. :-)
Take care, be happy and have a lovely day xx
The sun really was good yesterday wasn't it, today is looking hopeful too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day
Yes, it is beautiful outside at the moment. Chilly, mind you, but then it is November. :-)

The crowds in the supermarkets and shops are definitely building up now and I think we will have to revise the time we go shopping to avoid them. Finished my knitting (Sweeties little dress) at last and it all went together well, even my adaptation of the sleeve head which now fits the armhole perfectly, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day. x
Oh, well done. I'm sure it is well worth the effort you made!

A sunny day, no matter how cold, really does lift the spirits doesn't it. Gosh I miss M&S :-(
ReplyDeleteIt really does, there's nothing better, I think.
DeleteI do love M&S fruit and veg.

I have kept lists since age 16
ReplyDeleteI keep a planner on the ledge in kitchen…
Good idea - it must be extremely helpful. xx
DeleteWe have an M&S food store in town but I never think of shopping there as it's away from the main shopping centre. However, seeing the party foods you bought there, especially the cheese profiteroles, have tempted me 😋.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe we're nearing the end of November. It's chillier today but my annuals are still going strong and the garden is full of colour.
Fingers crossed for the guttering, and hope you have a good time with Chris xx
They do have a good range of 'party' food - nibbles, really.
DeleteMy fuchsias are still a picture. I'll try and get another photo of them. They've usually died back by now.

Ever since the lockdown I have been grocery shopping at 8:00 a.m. when the store opens. It's usually quiet and easy to avoid others. However, my other favourites don't open so early which makes it hit and miss.
ReplyDeleteDitto although I've always been an early riser and often went early anyway. It did help a lot in avoiding the crowds and the queues. The supermarkets all open early although, like you, some other shops don't.

I always hit the stores early in the morning. No crowds, and I can get in and out quickly.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
A much more pleasant experience, isn't it? xx
