Was it this thread that had the Paul Heaton fans? I heard Quicksand on R2 this morning and it made me laugh: https://youtu.be/usesI-6btR4?si=3WAveCV3aGWzmy8I

Although to be fair, at 22°C this afternoon, Southend did feel like St Tropez

It was so warm yesterday and then that storm appeared out of nowhere! I was talking with the woman who did my flu jab today about the thunder and lightning last night. I opened my front door and the lightning was right above my house.

I went to the St Vincent's shop today as I was getting a tidy up at the chiropodist opposite. I always seem to be in that area! I got a white hoodie, a red and black checked shirt, a denim vest and a new oven glove.

I’ve been casually on the lookout for a new winter coat, rather fancying a duvet-style padded one preferably with a hood. I was driving past the Helen & Katherine House charity shop on the outskirts of Oxford yesterday, and nearly didn’t bother to stop except I spotted a parking space almost right outside it. Very glad I did visit, as I got a (what appears to be brand new) black Tog24 coat, exactly what I was looking for, £10.  Also picked up two children’s books in perfect condition for 50p each - a book of fairy stories for my fairy-obsessed two year old granddaughter, and a book explaining different paint and crayon techniques for my five year old art-obsessed granddaughter.

They are very stylised trees!

Popped into local charity shop with a bag of donations and left with a Phase Eight dress - summer dress, fully lined, looked great on and was only £5 and a phase eight cropped jacket at £3.50   As both were so nice and the lady said they had just been put out I asked if the same person had dropped off anything else and was taken into the store room to look and found a silver sparkle cardigan - not going to be very warm - but as soon as I tried it on it was agreed by the staff and the boyfriend it was "very me" so I picked up that for £3.50 too.

When I got home a quick google revealed that each item was probably around the £100 mark.  I didn't need new clothes but these 3 items were too nice to leave behind.

My boyfriend picked up 6 T-shirts that look like new and a shirt that looks fabulous on him.  All of that with a candle came to under £30   My bits are in the washing machine now. Really pleased (especially as I had donated a summer dress I felt fat and frumpy in LOL)

A new healthy back bag for £10.50 which was £65 in a shop two doors away. 

I was going to buy one anyway, so I’m very pleased with this.
