Last night I managed to order presents off Amazon for Vivien's birthday on Monday and get them delivered to an Amazon locker, close to where Vivien and Ray have the boat moored for the Winter months – you are not allowed to send post to where they are staying. It took quite a while to sort, as many of the lockers in the area would not accept delivery for various reasons.

Studio/office bookshelves painted with the last coat of paint and finally looking fabulous with glossy brilliant white front edges. I can now finally start moving loads of things into the office!

My tyres are being swopped to Winter tyres tomorrow morning, there is no fixed appointment time – but I have to drop the car off at 8am, so will then walk home and wait for a telephone call to say they are ready. Hoping very much to see a Great Shearwater this weekend, fingers crossed!
