Sitting in the living room of my cottage in my undies listening to The Girls and Men of Canterbury Cathedral Choir singing Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, etc, trying to summon the enthusiasm to pack and leave. Visiting my sister so It'll probably be the last time I have a comfortable place to sit for the next two weeks. Certainly won't be doing it in my undies while I'm there.

Today I think I'll wear the same outfit as I did on Saturday: white dress and red heels, and the hat that Billie Jean called "a good looking Ladies type of hat."

But where to go for the day? Despite being less than fifteen minutes drive from my sister's place I can't arrive before 20:30 because they have told me they need that time to tidy up. The reason for going there is that I was supposed to be dog sitting this weekend and it was arranged months ago so they have had plenty of time to make the place liveable.

No dog sitting though because one of the dogs is sick, probably terminally, with cancer so my sister is staying home while her husband and son go away for the weekend.

Been wandering around Cirencester for the last hour and a half visiting lots of charity shops. Bought a black and silver top and a bracelet in one. I got distracted by packing I forgot to put on earrings so I bought a pair in the charity superstore.

Now I'm in Lynnwood's which is my favourite café in Cirencester. Having a ricotta, basil, and sun-dried tomato tart, custard cruffin, mocha

The tart was nice, now it's time to start on the cruffin. Not sure how to go about that.

The first words spoken to me when I entered the café were "I love your shoes!", said by a pretty young waitress. The chunky male guy behind the counter addressed me in terms appropriate to my dress.

It's been a very good morning.
