Magazine.

I don't normally buy magazines, as I think they are a waste of money.  However, I couldn't resist this one.  The dolls on the front are made of felt, which I love to work in.  So, of course, they will be for Isabella.

Went to Aldi at 8 a.m. to buy a wooden abacus.  For once there was an orderly queue.  I needn't have worried, nobody was interested in what I was buying.  They were all rushing in to buy work benches and telescopes!!
