We did snap up some bargains, mor of that in a bit. Darren drove home via the sea so that I could have a look, and take pics, before we came home! Left the cap in the car this time so that I didn’t end up chasing it down the promenade again!
We saw a nice heated aired, umbrella variety, which will be very useful as we don’t have a drier. Darren set the legs correctly and made sure it worked when we got home.
I spotted this trophy which I thought would be good for the next horticultural show. Quite a good quality one and just a little tlc needed.
My bargain of the day was a nice selection of audio books.
I started listening to The Beiderbecke Affair while I finished the jigsaw puzzle.
We watched the Grand Prix, well done Lewis! Then Tina and I got some of the duck food (we have a sack full) and thought we would go to Hornsea mere. It was closed! So Tina drove us to a pond at Burton Agnes and the ducks were hungry and very pleased to see us!
Just as we were preparing to leave a couple of mallard drakes that had been chasing each other and grabbing tails began a quite ferocious fight with beaks locked. I have cropped these pictures which ai had to find out how to do on the iPad, they really weren’t happy!
We think one of them was protecting his lady, but it was quite a spectacle!
The last part of Us tonight.
Glad you got to the boot sale this week. Looks a nice morning from the sky in that first pic. You need to look out for a hat that ties on under your chin for when you next go to the beach. Save you having to chicken out and leave it in the car 😊
ReplyDeleteThe drier looks in very good condition, but I’m sure it should have a cover over it. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one that hasn’t got one to concentrate the air flow. The trophy looks pretty good too. Is it metal? Looks it but hard to tell. You will be able to get a little plaque engraved to go on the base if you use it for the show. Good find.
You’re doing well finding audio stuff. I suppose most people don’t use the tapes any more. Shame for them, but not for you. The Beiderbecke Affair is a good story. I remember watching the series on tv many moons ago.
Blimey, those ducks really are going at it! Never seen them as bad as that. Definitely not happy!
Enjoy your program.
The trophy is metal and pretty heavy, not just a tin one.
DeleteHave listened to the first tape of two of the story and it is very good.
We have never seen anything like that duck fight, have seen the birds go for each other, grab wings and tails with their beaks, but these two attacked each other’s heads and then locked beaks, a wonder they didn’t drown each other!
