Otherwise Harvest Chores are eating huge chunks of time , apples though small are in their hundreds , not good keepers they are being eaten and apple sauced in the slowcooker daily the mountain of pears next on the list , still hunting for that cheap large upright freezer with my name on it at the auctions , the van being off the road for a few more weeks is hampering my plans . My car that had been off the road since i finished work has gone to live with Uncle Kevin till it dies , it started first go after nine months on the drive !! and that has left a gap for sons car.
Im frantically trying to get rid of stuff to make room for sons stuff , biggest annoyance was that i filled the cars boot with loads of toys and books then could find no charity shop that would take them , apparently they dont take many toys on health and safety grounds , they wont take action man because it promotes war ,but they will willingly take slutty Bratz dolls that promote what? ...go figure . Only unused sealed toys are welcome . six shops later , the local hospice took them .
I found a file with dozens of my knitting patterns !!
I'm knee deep in marrow, apples and elderberries here.
ReplyDeleteI love that knitting pattern.
dont mention marrows , ive lost my recipe for marrow turkish delight and im just debating spicy marrow fritters
DeleteI hope he gets sorted out with somewhere soon Kate.
ReplyDeleteHugs-x-
Narrow Turkish delight, my brain can't comprehend 😂. Glad things are getting sorted for son.
ReplyDeleteWell it sounds like that son may have a positive experience of social workers/service! I did wonder why toys were not so visible in charity shops lately - its a shame as often are good buys! There was a girl in Bristol I think it was)in the big indoor market) who made quite a good living selling patterns like that to the vintage crowd.
