Autumnal weather

This morning dawned wet and windy, such a change after yesterday's sunshine. Keith and I took Mike to college and then rushed home to make out a shopping list. We decided to shop just for the weekend as Sophie is back at uni on Monday for only a couple of hours so we can drop her off and then go to Aldi in Kingsthorpe to do the rest of the week.

Sophie came with us as she has been off work all this week. It's Freshers week and she thought she might have been out to some late-night events but she seemed content to stay at home instead, although she is going to an outdoor cinema event on Sunday.

We hurriedly did all our shopping in Aldi and then returned home to put it all away. Sue was picking me up at 12.30pm for a gardening stint and after we'd put the shopping away Sophie and Keith went into work so Sophie could input all her hours.

Sue and I went to Brixworth and we spent two hours weeding and tidying the garden. It was a glorious afternoon and it was very pleasant to be out in the sunshine. When we returned home I gave her back her dessert dishes and gave her a candle that I'd made on Tuesday as a thank you. We also admired her garden which is now nearly finished and looks very smart!

Back home we just had time for a well-earned cup of tea before it was off to collect Mike from College. He informed us on the way home that he has a trip to the Sky Studios tomorrow and the coach leaves at 6.30am! Gulp! That was a bit short notice!

We went home and had a very relaxing evening playing cards and drinking wine. Perfect!
