Why Do I?

Why do I buy stuff from auction just because its cheap ? i do sometimes wonder . I went to pick up my stuff today , a glorious huge Denby vase that never in a million years did i think i would win for the price i payed that i was chuffed with . But id also bough a couple of concrete little planters for a whole couple of quid , so the guy smiles at me at which point i should have been suspicious he then says have you got £3 in change?  can he have it ?.  I still didnt click, so i gave him the money and he toddled of and came back with a huge trolley of every kind of weird and wonderful garden ornament known to mankind . He looked at me with puppy dog eyes and said ...please will you take them , we had a clearout of stuff that hasnt sold . So i now have a van full of the strangest ornaments known to mankind , fairies, ducks, doves , tortoises even a meerkat planter..lol   Himself never said a word but when he pulled at home he said ....Please tell me what the fuck youre planning to do with them ... Ive had a brainstorm and im going to hide them in the beautifully landscaped gardens of the overpriced newbuilds over the road , he seems quite impressed with that idea! 

Quietly Mad

 Today i shall be commentating on the state of the world , so for those expecting veg and junk , turn away now .

Well , what can i say America appears to have lost the plot , battering grannies for objecting to their families and neighbours being kidnapped by stormtroopers . But thats not the whole story theres so many different stories all tied up in the threads we get fed through the news that the truth isnt been told by anybody. Meanwhile whens hes going to deport Prince Harry and the kids ?  Harry has allowed for this eventuality by buying a mansion in Portugal on the quiet , if  he came back here im sure they would try to revoke his citizenship or just post his new address on the internet while withholding his security.  Im sure that the whole problem with Meghan was the fact that she was expected to be the brown faced  token royal and she was having none of it . cutting a ribbon 3 times a week wasnt the job she wanted while licking the arse of the Royals higher up the ladder was never going to happen. 

Greta Thugberg ..oh hum , possibly the most annoying woman on the planet , who in their right mind would go annoying Israel they have become the most genocidal wasp nest on the planet ?  It merely promotes her look at me side , even if she has an ism . She has helped no one but her own publicity machine. Its disgusting what is happening in Gaza , but hey theyre buying weapons and ammunition off us , so those in control will always look the other way.  Its all about money , its always about money or daft sky gods that arent the same as the other sides sky gods .

So yes im sick of the world at the moment , though nobody cares about your views im still going to give them!! 

Knit One

 The weather is once again keeping me out of the garden ..lol  The sun is shining and the birds are singing but its rained for 2 days.  Ive tried to amuse myself inside ive cooked loads of compost repotted everything took loads of cuttings and just pottered around , ive a huge  pile of gorgeous  victorian lace to starch and travel iron staring at me , the only thing i do iron .  The mending mountain to tackle , a whole load of severed Victorian pot heads staring at me , a big bag of miscellaneous limbs and bodies etc etc  i need to send a memo to myself  not  to be horrified when i do go to pick up an auction lot and find that the blue suitcase of broken dolls turns out to be the size of  something that a murderer could store a body in , packed with filthy Victorian baby clothes as packaging .  It was a good value ,who in their right minds would want it purchase and underneath it all was a pair of 1950s Steiff doggies that will pay for everything and then some, that you couldnt even see in the crappie photo .  i also got another mixed craft lot , once again the photo was dreadful , lots of cottons and sewing bits , a big bag of vintage hankies and scarfs and belts , but once again i got a ton of knitting needles im always trying to give bundles of them away to anybody who will have them , ive even used a few as plant supports . I have a complete set of needles of my own that i rarely use just because these days i find it hard work and crochet is much easier on the hands.

Now for another little thought , the world of houseplants . Now himself hates plants in the house and even outside sometimes , he killed most of the ones i had when i first moved in with him , or they died from the cold . Now we have double glazing and heating we can afford just a little of , Im gradually replacing them all . I know what can hack the cold and because we have no windowsills im using ultra cheap LED grow lights that cost pennies to run and the dining room is turning into my little jungle , theres a lot that have come from the car boot but im also addicted to the world of Etsy plant cuttings , for some of the more dramatic and hideously expensive stuff if you search on a regular basis you can find cuttings cheaply , ive stuff that came as a couple of leaves in a jiffy bag thriving .By next year i may have vanished under them all.
