    Sunday was not a NSD for me.

    Went to a local eco-group meeting to drop off some outgrown school uniform and books for their free Reuse stall, and came away with a couple of cute little cacti 🌵

    Had a delicious vegan meal and some slices of cake. 
    Everything is free, they just ask for donations to cover their costs, so I put a few pounds in the bucket.

    Forgot to add, another NSD for Monday. That's 10 so far.

    I had planned to head out to pick up some books for a customer, but the seller said it's easier for her to drop them off to me at home later this week as she is going to be in the area.
    That's save me the hassle of getting there and lugging them back 😊
