Good evening, everyone.

It's been such a lovely day today.  Yes, it started off a bit gloomy but once the sun broke through it has been a perfect autumnal day.   I hope it has been as nice where you are.

Remember I said I bought a couple of winter barrel planters from Home Bargains on Sunday.  I meant to post these on Monday but then didn't do a post so here they are now.  I think they were pretty good value for £5.99 and they seem to be surviving OK.  Once the pansies are over, I still have two nice variegated shrubs and two ivies - not that I'm too much in need of ivy but the shrubs can go in bigger planters and could last for years.

Personal training started again today so this afternoon I set off over to Lindsey's home and Shimmy Studio.  As always, it was great although it was hard work after a fortnight off.  It's so easy to lose just a bit of strength.  She's doing another of her pop-up shops in October and we were chatting about the donations.  There's loads and I'd love to have first dibs - or one of the first anyway.  We will see.

I'm feeling really weary this evening so will be going to bed by nine, I think.  Before then I just need to sort out the kitchen and then I can sit, read, crochet, watch telly - whatever.   Tomorrow, I need to sort out some clothes - Lindsey is accepting donations until the end of September and, while I don't think I have much, there's probably some stuff that can go.  Maybe I'll get that done tomorrow.

All the best, everyone.  Stay safe and warm and have a great day tomorrow.  Night!  xx
