Excellent Jumble Sale yesterday , got a whole summer wardrobe a bag full of books and two pizza bowls for the grand total of 3.50 , so that brightened my mood , daughter and grandson turned up and despite her grumping she ended up with a bagful as well . I think i was the only mask wearer there , despite Covid slaughtering the village where i live thanks to the maskless Jubilee celebrations...lol , just common sense to me when your elbow deep in a scrum over used clothing . Got it all home and found that two of the tops were still tagged and unworn, out of a bagful only one item didnt fit so went in the charity bag and one other needs a stitch to a seam split ,
Just to annoy himself i toddled off to the car boot this morning nice and early only to find just before i reached it a car upside down blocking the road the local hobby firemen had just arrived and a solitary community hobby bobby scratching his head , the folks were standing in the road shaken and having a fag , cant think why anybody local would have an accident there unless they nearly scored a deer or somebody on the wrong side of the road and had to take avoidance tactics , bit odd really but it did mean i had to an extra 16 miles round just to get where i needed to be , comment from himself because i took so long ...well thats you grounded for the week for wasting fuel , you should have come straight home...ha ha ...he will be sorry for that one . All i got from the car boot was a box of plants just because i always need more plants. Strange thought of the week , will we ever be able to afford meat of the size to need the huge gorgeous meat plates you see at every car boot ?
Deep thought on the meat plate question. I went vegetarian two years ago, a knee jerk reaction to Covid shopping and a health thing. As a result, our grocery bills should be miniscule…HA! Everything has gone up, just because it can.
ReplyDeleteChicken and pork are not badly priced where I am and I wonder if farmers are culling their herds which will mean less meat in the stores and higher prices next year.
Cherry thoughts,huh
worlds biggest nut roast?
DeleteOne can never have too many plants :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a massive meat plate that comes out at Christmas and birthdays and I put treats on it, like dried fruit, sweeties, fruit, biscuits etc. I don't think I've ever had a piece of meat that needed the huge plates.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, my huge platter is a birdbath now!
ReplyDeleteGrounded!!!? - Sounds like your dearly beloved went to the same charm school as this one-There was a bit of a doo here this afternoon when I told him a few home truths about him and his mother -I have since been offered a value choc ice -I am so pleased you got some goodies today-You deserve them x
