...a set of bongo drums. I don't know why, it just happened.

Like anyone else, I can't pass by a set of drums without giving them a little rattle. I was in a charity shop and saw the bongo drums and, in a curious quasi-trance like state purchased them.

It was near the beginning of a day of zombie-esque shopping with my wife. I amused myself by giving her shopping adventures a constant jazzy 'beat poetry' narrative "we're entering the shop now...what will we find there...there's so much to choose from...she's sniffing the candles" complete with bongo accompaniment . After a couple of hours of this she decided she'd had enough so we went home. Two hours is an unusually short shopping trip on an average Saturday. As a result, I think I've now found a use for the bongos...

...I plan to use them as a pillow when I'm sleeping on the floor tonight

A Lansky World Legal slipjoint...

lansky-willumsen-world-legal-knife-1.jpg


The most solid folding knife I've ever owned, really positive 'lock' for a non-locking knife, Really interesting blade shape, think it will really serve me well. Literally shavng sharp out of the box..I now need to explain why I'm missing a patch of forearm fur.

Oh...and a pack of 4 aluminium nesting cups for a little brew out in the big green spaces. I opened the box they came in with my new Lansksy..and everything else that needed 'Lansky'd'.

Silvercrest Kitchen Tools Vacuum Sealer £24.99

Saving up for a dehydrator next... hoping my own dried meals will turn out better than the shop ones.
