Grey.

First thing this morning the sky was blue(ish) but by the time I walked into town the sun was shining weakly through the overcast sky. From then it simply got greyer and colder. When I got back from town I really could have curled up on the sofa and gone to sleep. After a cup of tea it was time to start the evening exercises as a warm up for Pilates.

In town I got some books at the library then joined the queue at the Post Office. I used the self service machine with some assistance from the member of staff who whizzed my cards through. At least all my cards have been posted. I thought I was early with my UK cards but when I got home there was our first card from a former neighbour of ours. Our card should get to her in a day or so.

Most of our presents to the family will be of the home-made/baked variety and I was pleased to find this Christmas themed tin to put goodies in.
