Morning, everyone.  After quite a pleasant day yesterday, I have woken to a very dismal view from the window.  A very dismal forecast from the Beeb too, see . . .

Oh, well . . .

Yesterday was a good day.  Groove was great fun and there were loads of people there.  During the summer weeks, Lindsey is running a sort of 'drop in' system and, as Groove continues at the Hall, not the Studio, numbers are higher.  There were people there I have never done a class with but who I recognise from the Potters weekend, which was nice.

After breakfast, I drove off to do my food shop.  Chris is still not very well so I had a few things to get for here as well.  Once that was done and all put away, I did some gardening and, noticing that the lower leaves on the tomatoes were looking bedraggled and stopping the sun (I know - what sun?) - OK, light - getting to the fruit, I cut them back up to the first truss.  It also helps the plant to dry off more quickly after rain; blight is an ever present danger when it is mild and damp.  
I wonder if Blightwatch is still operating.  Must check.

Today, I m having an early (for me) breakfast and then driving over to Diane's, and we are going to Freeport, a shopping outlet fairly close to her.  We'll have lunch there, of course, and we want to look around an 'outdoor' shop with a view to considering what we could get for our Christmas jolly.
And I want to get my ears pierced.  I had them done ages ago, decades, in fact, but stopped wearing my studs and they closed up.  There's a 'Claire's' in the centre and they might be able to do me today.  If not, I can go back, no problem.
Isn't that frivolous?  :-)

I have no idea how long we will be out but I doubt I'll do anything else today apart from the necessaries.  A shame the forecast is so bad but maybe it will keep the crowds away.  

Have a lovely day, everyone.  xx
