Winter Shopping

Yes, I know it is only autumn but for me any temperature below 16c (61f) is cold!!! I do try to put off switching on any heating (fortunately heaters in each room - don't have central heating!) until absolutely necessary. And, no, not yet into the thermals! Well, got to have something extra put on when it gets really, really, really cold.

Of course - as for most of us - this is the time to start checking the winter clothing. Two pairs of trousers and a jacket from Bon Marche. Unfortunately I seemed to have something wrong with my brain the first time I went in there and bought size 20. Eh????? Obviously took them back and changed them for the smaller size (no not telling you!). Fortunately the jacket was too tight round the armholes so I just changed that. It actually made me look like the Michelin Man (remember him?).

Just ordered a jacket on line. The only colour available in my size was 'ochre' a yellowish colour. Wanted the blue (what I call peacock blue but think it has changed its name these days). Have no idea whether the colour will suit me but we will find out when it is delivered.

Sweaters? Got plenty of them and am currently knitting a twin set - cardi in scarlet and pullover in yellow. Should cheer me up!

A reminder of warmer days!
