Those dark clouds don't look good!
Now to have a look around some charity shops.
First one had vinyl records...

A unicorn, which I bought!
Next Charity Shop had a nice crochet blanket for sale.

I am a true beginner I said.
At least the blanket will keep me warm in the winter!
Nice shoes pity they are not my size!
One charity shop had a Minion I didn't own,
