This morning I caught the bus to Castle Road and called in to see Sandy at the studio. they don't usually open on a Monday so it was not busy when I arrived. When I was waiting for the bus I was looking at the hydrangeas in the gardens. I think they are one of the few flowers that still look interesting when they are 'finished', still such a variety of colour, although no longer bright colours!

There is a Chinese restaurant near the studio and they have the biggest Christmas cactus that I have ever seen and it is full of flowers.

I did walk into town, my ankle was really playing up today, but I still thought I would walk home and stop for a drink at Let it Brie. I had forgotten that Let it Brie is closed on Monday and Tuesday so I just carried on home. albeit very slowly and in some discomfort. Rested for a bit when I got home, watched an episode of House and then the film Cold Runnings was on, which is really good, so I enjoyed watching that again. After that I sat and finished the little decorative crackers. They all have three chocolates in and a joke sheet. I ate too many of the quality street while making them so have taken the rest downstairs for Darren and Tina!

Last Tango in Halifax tonight, so that should be fun.
