What did you buy today?

The tea packaging machines produce individual stacks containing 40 tea bags each. A full catering bag consists of 26 stacks of 40 (26 × 40 = 1040). The final large sack is designed to hold a net weight of 3.25 kg of raw tea (excluding the weight of the paper bags and outer plastic packaging)

I don't know if this is true
 
Two Fuji films for my daughter.

And a second Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens. Because the EF 17-40mm lens that I thought is brought away with me is an EFS 17-55mm... So the only lens I had with me is a 1.19kg monster 300mm.

I had thought of looking in 2nd hand shops but this afternoon stumbled upon a small photo shop that happened to have this and the films.
 
How many lamps do you have now? Some would say I've got too many candle lanterns but there's often room for another nice one...
All of the were out for the Moot and it turns out I've currently got 63 working Hurricane lanterns, 4 or 5 that need further fettling before I can use them, 3 pigeon lamps, 2 miners lamps, a couple UCO's and a Swiss army folding lantern.

I also had 2 new ones delivered today and just won an auction for a very nice Chalwyn Tropic :D
 
Wouldn't call mine shiny .. but i got myself a NightCat 1 tent, havnt tried it out yet.. think I'm going todo a few little mods to it first.

Oooh, wait... yes I did get a new shiny last month, Victorinox personal hygiene multi-tool nail clippers with Edelweiss style plastics, definitely better than having a whole bunch of individual implements.
 
Some Toptools Jigsaw Blades for Laminate which fit my Multitool.

Have a similar blade to the SAK saw (alternative teeth inner facing cut).

Starter wormery for a compst heap?

I did try that previously and left it a good 6-8 months and can't say I noticed an increase in population - or at least to not justify keeping them separated.

I've a dozen compost 'daleks' in close proximity to each other - I'm going to dump them all in one bin ( in the centre ) and have them hopefully use that as the main feeding hub before they migrate to the other bins.

At least thats the theory.
