Such a good idea!

I have oodles of stuff for a car boot and stuff maybe for the auction house. We talk about getting on with shifting the stuff but don’t get around to it. Two local groups, the WI and Men in Sheds have come up with a brilliant idea. I have already registered our address!
Let’s hope there is a big take up and lots of people are touring the town looking for bargains, and that it is a sunny day!
The Ringtons man came nice and early and after Tina had sorted out a problem with the iPad data with a long phone call we set off to the garden centre with shops in Skirlaugh. We had a naughty full English breakfast and then went for a look round. The little antique centre is alway interesting and I got a couple of real bargains at £2 each, they were on a charity stall too. The wren said it was from USSR but we found no evidence of that, the silver tray caught my eye because the swirling pattern made it seem like it was moving .


Tina got some nice butter knives so she has quite a supply now. 
We had a little while indoors before Tina went off for her haircut then I did a couple of chores while she was out. I also wrote another letter, and had written one first thing. I love using the desk but both times my hand only just held out long enough for me to finish,
When Tina was back we drove down to the leisure centre so that the car could be put on charge. We went into the new cafe at the leisure centre for a drink and then had a look at the sea. What a difference from yesterday, grey and winters looking this afternoon.


The rain came in but ai did walk down the road to post the letters.
I have used the pedal gadget this evening, I haven’t been using it much lately and I do think it was helping when I used it regularly.
Tina went into Hull to have her second Covid jab this evening, hopefully she won’t have a bad reaction.

  1. I do think the sale idea is brilliant. Good job you have a large driveway! Could be a regular thing during the summer months if it goes well.
    A full English is always good even if it is a bit naughty. I used to love the ones in the little cafe around the corner from you in Scarborough.
    You always manage to find bargains wherever you go. The tray and the wren are lovely and definitely a good price. Sounds like the Rev did a bit of bargain hunting too.
    Hopefully the doc will be able to do something about the dead hands once you have the new tests. Would be such a shame not to use the lovely desk now you have it.
    Definitely a different day today weather wise. Was pretty much the same here, minus the sea of course! Hopefully tomorrow will prove to be a little better. Just don’t hold your breath.

    1. I really hope the garage sale is a success, lots of people go to the boot sale so if it is advertised well enough hopefully a lot will be making their way round the town!
      I am delighted with today’s bargains and they are definitely not clutter!!
      The hands are literally a pain and not getting any better, so fingers crossed something shows up with the test and meanwhile hoping the pills arrive this time!
