And - wait for it - an ashtray. My friend is a buyer of props for local amateur dramatic group and apparently it’s impossible to buy an ashtray in these enlightened times. So I have a list from her of things to buy if I see them in charity shops and ashtray is on that list. So for the princely sum of one euro, she got a ‘present from Tangier’s’ ashtray. So cool.

I did some more housework and hoovering today so I am a broken woman. Need to rest. My house looks great.

It has been a dull day and then late afternoon the sun broke through. And I caught this image showing you my new skirt. I’m very pleased with it
