We have a couple of freeloaders in the village, shameless scroungers they are, lol.That really annoys me - if I'm bidding on something that clearly means that I want it, so just beetle off!
I just scored a little air compressor gun on TM to take care of my tyres, save me prevailing on the generosity of the lovely local bike guy. Only some ratbag tried to outbid me the sod, cost me an extra tenner, lol. Never mind - I have enough left over to buy my coffee tomorrow, it has been a great spend up week with a couple of wicked fritterings on seedlings and potted Christmas lilies to go in my deck pots when the spring bulbs fade. Who needs groceries when the garden starts to come back to life?
I once had to go up to around $45 for a kids book; it was one eldest granddaughter remembered (now out of print) which she could remember me reading to her & she wanted it to read to her kids & my copy had already been bagsed by a cousin.
Got the dreaded shopping out of the way & then planted a few tomato seeds from last season in pots to sit inside on windowsill encased in plastic bags until they sprout - I hope. Tried a slightly different method of saving seed for some this time so it should be interesting to see how it goes.
For anyone who remembers Netherworld dancing toys or When the cat's away, Margaret Urlich died today at only 57.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
