Today’s been a productive one. I went shopping with my mom, and as usual, I ended up picking up more than I had initially planned. I set out with the intention of getting some essentials but returned with a new winter coat, a cream knitted jumper, a lounge set for around the house, a flat cap, and a book I found in a charity shop.

First off, I got myself a new winter coat. With the temperatures dropping, I figured it was time to sort out something more fitting for the colder weather. I found a solid one that’s both practical and stylish—keeping things simple with neutral colours, which I prefer. A good winter coat is one of those items you end up wearing almost every day, so I’m glad I found one that suits my style.

Next on the list was the cream knitted jumper. There’s something about knitwear in autumn and winter that just fits the season perfectly. I like to keep it classic and straightforward, and this jumper will go with most of my wardrobe. Layering is key when the temperature fluctuates throughout the day, and a good jumper makes it easier to manage that.

I also grabbed a lounge set for wearing around the house. I wanted something comfortable but still decent enough to wear if I need to answer the door or quickly pop outside. The set I found is soft, cosy, and just what I needed for relaxing without feeling like I’m in scruffy old clothes. It’s perfect for chilling on weekends or after a long day.

The flat cap I picked up is another interesting addition. I’ve had a few in the past, but they always end up being too big. This one is a bit oversized as well, so I probably won’t wear it out much, but it might just end up being added to my collection of hats at home. There’s something nostalgic about wearing a flat cap, and they do have a certain charm to them, even if I don’t plan to wear it regularly.

After unpacking my food shop, I’m looking forward to a relaxing afternoon. I’ll probably settle in to watch a film, although I haven’t decided which one yet. Knowing me, I’ll likely end up watching something I’ve seen before. There’s a comfort in rewatching films; you already know what to expect, which can be nice after a busy day.

Once I finish the film, I plan to dive into my new book. Gypsy Boy has been on my radar for a while, and I’m keen to see what it’s all about. It’s good to have a new book lined up, especially one that I picked up at a bargain price. I find that reading in the evening helps me unwind and shift gears before heading to bed.
​
Overall, today’s shopping trip was a success. It’s great to add a few new pieces to my wardrobe, especially as we head into winter. A good winter coat and warm knitwear make a world of difference when the weather turns colder. Plus, I’ve got some comfy lounge wear to make relaxing at home even better.

​It's that time again when I find myself hungering for new literary adventures to embark upon. As much as I adore my trusty zombie audiobooks for those late-night escapades into the undead world, I'm on the lookout for some fresh reads to add to my physical bookshelf.

I've always been drawn to books that delve into the realms of self-help, mental health, and the occult. There's something about exploring the depths of the human psyche or peering into the mysteries of the unknown that captivates my imagination and leaves me craving for more.

Whether it's a thought-provoking self-help guide that offers insights into personal growth and development, or a gripping tale of magic and mystery that transports me to otherworldly realms, I'm open to all suggestions. So if you've stumbled upon a book that left a lasting impression or unearthed a hidden gem that you simply couldn't put down, I'd love to hear about it!
