Tuesday

 Morning, one and all.  November is here starting with All Saints' Day or All Hallows' Day today and All Souls' Day tomorrow.
Thank you for all your interesting comments about Halloween yesterday.  Kay (the financial adviser) said that she had seen a number of groups of teenagers dressed up and wandering about the area but they certainly didn't come here and maybe they were just heading off to a party or something like that.  I hope so anyway.

It was really nice getting back to my normal routine again yesterday.  

The day started with a rummage around HomeSense, Matalan and Home Bargains.  HomeSense was, as always, really good.  It's an interesting place with 'different' sort of stuff and I have learned not to go away and 'think about it' for too long because once it has gone, it's gone.  I was delighted to see that they had some Spode 'Christmas Tree' plates and shallow bowls - soup plates, I think they would be called.  They weren't molto cheapo but they were cheaper than one would usually pay; I got three bowls and might go back for a few more bits but I need to 'think about it' first.

Matalan had some good Christmas stuff but not much I actually wanted.  I had seen on their site some bedding that looked rather nice but, seeing the real thing, it wasn't as nice as it looked on screen.  I came out with slippers (for the twelve days) and a nightie (needed).

I popped into Home Bargains because it was there, really, and came out with the cheap scented candle that will probably smell OK - I hope.

When I got home, it was a bit of a rush to get changed and out for circuits.

After circuits, it was just home based stuff.

In the evening, apart from what Kay had come to do - explore finances, etc - she said that she had solar panels fitted last year and is going to send me the name of the company she used as she was really pleased with what they did.  So that's good.

Today is less busy.  It starts energetically with Groove and it's a new block so there will be new routines to learn.  Then I will probably spend the rest of the day at home as it's a bit wild and blowy outside at the moment.  There's ironing, some info gathering for Kay, generally this, that and the other to catch up with - plenty to keep me busy anyway.

Well, it is nearly seven so I'd better stop waffling and get on with other things, starting with another coffee, I think.  Have a lovely day, everyone.  xx
