Solstice

These Sniff the Difference flowers from Tesco are actually good value. They seem expensive but last for ages. I'm particularly fond of this kind of chrysanthemum, very structural, the lime green ones have always been my favourite but these lavender pink ones are really lovely.

I managed to take this during the five or so minutes when the rain wasn't thundering against the window...

I've made inroads into the Christmas food shopping today. We are now one carton of cheese footballs up.

Pacing myself.
