turpsThere were two new people at class yesterday, so due to my status as an oldie, I was separated from my usual partner/friend and paired with the lady newbie. Still can't believe Rosie trusts me to explain how to do stuff. Especially as I remain so bad at some things, like forward lunges.
We did go to the cinema on Saturday, going to see The Choral at the Odeon Metrocentre. Going in we had a quick natter to one of the workers we know there, and he said it was a twee film, and he was right, but I still enjoyed it. I also enjoyed checking out all the Christmas decorations in the malls. We missed them all last year due to James not being able to drive after breaking his arm, so it was good to take in all the sparkles.
Then, arriving home, we watched our neighbour decorating her windows with Christmas scenes for a bit. She was using what looked like a white window crayon/paint, and the results were so pretty. So much better than that spray on snow we used to use to make our own snow scenes back in the day.
Sunday we'd planned a walk, but the day got away from us. We posted two parcels of wooden art that James had sold, went grocery shopping, and dropped something off to my brother. Who wasn't actually in, but I did get a nice chat with my niece. We also checked out the near to us Aldi that had just opened last week. What I especially liked was they must have over stocked, as lots of the fruit and veg was at a 75% off discount. Which is why we had a very veg heavy casserole for tea last night.
James also found out one of his booked craft fairs has been cancelled which is a disappointment, as it's the one in our town and closest to Christmas, which would have been perfect for last minute buyers. He's put the feelers out to see if tables are going elsewhere, but as of now we've only got two fairs left this month and then nothing in December.
Today I'm on special sand litter tray watch as I need another pee sample from Murphy, but he's not providing the goods yet. He appears back to his old self, and when I can finally send a sample in, I'm hoping they test it, and he can be cleared for coming off his meds. But, as it's after four now and the vet shuts at 6, I have the feeling the test is going to be a no-go today, especially as Kayleigh was going to be on dropping off duties as James is at work until 6.

Was she drawing free hand?!
Bummer about the canceled craft fair! I wonder why there aren't more scheduled closer to the holidays?
Murphy, you better provide the goods!

That was a very timely Aldi visit - 75% discount is awesome!
Very sad the craft fair was cancelled!
Keeping everything crossed the test will prove Murphy is well again!
