Thistles

What a wet and windy day we have had.  I have only been out for a short sprint cycle class first thing this morning where it was good to try out the new bikes that have arrived.  They are very nice quite smooth running and more comfortable.  I then spent the rest of the day indoors doing various household things and catching up with several friends.  The flowers I bought earlier this week have mainly died but these colourful thistles are still going strong and form todays blip.

Still not quite sorted all the Christmas stuff yet but getting there.
