Scorchio

 Its a bit warm today , so i was up just after 5 doing the washing and a few chores . Having said that if i dont hoover soon it will be like walking on a gravel path due to the cats just spitting cat stars everywhere because shes mardy and cant handle the heat .

Daughter and adopted daughter nagged me into doing a car boot sale yesterday it did stay cloudy till just before home time , Mr BH said to take the car because he needed the vans and i should have been suspicious when i noticed the battery booster pack in the wheel well and you guessed it got to going home time and it was dead flat and wouldnt start .AARRGGGHHHH  He does stuff like this to make me think i cant live without him.!!! got home and told him even better id driven home with no lights indicator or dash board working . So he had to troop out in the tropical sunshine to examine it . Why was it beyond him to tell me it needed a new battery before i went out ? Well at least id sold enough horrible crap to buy one...lol i never get ahead . Daughter bought a car load of stuff from mothers bungalow shes gradually emptying it ready for it to be sold to pay for her care . Just general household kitchen stuff  , but what gave me a giggle is we had a mini van full of middle eastern families wandering round and mother had a ghastly green and gold dinner service very back to the 80s and a very young girl and her mother didnt even haggle when we told them it was £3  , we didnt want to take it home under any circumstances...my mother would be horrified ..lol   

 

Incoming

 Well i had a belter of a weekend two huge car boots and 2 decent jumble sales, didnt buy very much , half a dozen clothing items plant pots and a very nice Portuguese stoneware vase.

Can you tell i shop when im stressed ? If we are not stressed by current events there has to be something very wrong with you , plus just to make it fun we are slap in the middle of 3 big airbases and a spook station . Its become very noticeable of late that theres a huge increase in air traffic plus the usual screaming jets and the notice was out today that its all night every night this week. We are also seeing much more military traffic on the roads round us . Anybody would think there was a war on .

Ive been trying to persuade the troops here to get their backsides into gear , dip the heating oil tank and fill the vehicles seems to be rational to me , but alas not for anyone else in the household . Must remember to buy an extra couple of packs of bog roll while im out and about , thats good for stress . Lets be honest none of us have a clue what this is all about , its not been done in any of our names , its all about wealth and power , but for most of us , we have grown kids who could be dragged into this , if that isnt a reason to stress i dont know what is 

WTF

 I had to bring this one to your attention . I was looking for underwear and this gem popped up on the Yours site . For a whole £20 . It would be worth buying for the hysterical laughter from your partner . obviously modelled by a size 16 at the most, as are all big girl fashions . Here is Beryl wearing this seasons hot undies fashioned from a McDonalds napkin and velcro.  You just know someone at Yours thought , Love Honey sells really well , lets go into sexy undies . I do somehow think this will be available in the sales shortly..lol 

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.
