International women’s Day

International women’s day is associated with the colour purple. I’n not very keen on the colour purple but the top, I’am wearing tonight is a purple tone. With two girlfriends, I’m watching 50 Shades Freed Film.

There are some great events taking pace as part of She festival in Sheffield city centre, on Saturday, but unfortunately, I can not go to any because i’m working. See link below for more details of the Intenational women day’s happening in sheffield.
