Because I Can...

I'm going out early, catching a bus to a neighbouring town and doing a small shop. Mainly vegetables and my trowel and fork. I should be home before lunchtime. I can then take it easy, perhaps have a snooze. I may garden a little and do some tasks but no plans to travel anywhere.

I may do that at the weekend. I am thinking of the illuminations near Sunderland. I think it could be getting dark early enough in the evening to see them and still catch a bus home. Later on, perhaps November I think I may do something I haven't before and get down onto Newcastle Upon Tyne's Quayside. I want to see it at night with the effects of the bridges and river lit up. I have seen so many images over the past few years and I want to see it for myself.

I have been surprising cosy overnight whilst online, no heating required. I found wearing a jumper, dressing gown/robe, gloves and a hat have kept me lovely and warm. Almost toastie.

When I come home from my shopping trip I am putting my lamb and vegetable stew into the slow cooker and I shall enjoy that in the early evening.
