Went chazza shopping today with a friend who is also on here! We also mooched round a garden centre where I bought a long arm microfibre cloth thing to help wipe off the condensation in the car windows when they mist up as the temps get cooler.

I didn't get any winter prep stuff but lots of lovely ceramic pots to house plants that I have propagated and been gifted over the summer.

Tomorrow, Sunday, I have plans to work through some of the things in the list in my sig below!

Raging fire tonight as I need to feel cosy. Nearly 24c after burning a load of logs and coal!

Putting these winter preps here so I don't forget!
