Morning, everyone.  The strong winds have died down now and maybe we will get sunshine today; the forecast for the week looks so much better.  We had some here yesterday, between rain showers and stronger gusts - if it had been less wet, it would have been a lovely drying day!

As expected, yesterday was a catch up day.  I got the ironing done, some housework, some cooking, I worked hard on Beth's birthday present.  All in all, it was most satisfying.

Strictly's elimination was a bit of a shocker but that's Strictly for you.  I think I rather expected it.  This year, more than ever, it is a popularity/personality thing as much as a dancing thing, isn't it.  It doesn't make it any the less enjoyable as long as you take that on board - for me, anyway.

Today starts with circuits and then I have quite a list, mostly Christmas preparation stuff plus the usual Monday housework.  It should be fun.
As I said in comments yesterday, there's a surprisingly large amount of festive stuff in the diary - going out, people round, etc, etc, etc, so I will; need to be very organised and do the necessary stuff in plenty of time so it doesn't bank up and create problems, mentally if not in any other way.  I do feel a bit stressed when the regular stuff gets left for long.

How are you getting prepared for the Festive season?  It seems to be approaching at a fearsome pace, doesn't it?

Have a great day, everyone.  Take care and I hope all is well with you after Storm Bert.  xx
