What did you buy today?

[Furbles]

If its anything like my Ventile; its going to be a treasure.

The Rover is double L24 Ventile, and super high quality. Such a shame that Country Innovation is no more; Keela make very good Ventile smocks and jackets, but nothing quite like the Rover. I’ve been after one in my size (Small) for quite a long time.

5 litres of acetone and a tube of seal all

Needing something light and waterproof by the door so I can grab it to stand out in the rain while my dog has a pee several times today, I looked at Hoggs. I had the smock version of this a few years ago and though it was a pain to put on and take off, it was a good top for medium use. Looks ok too, better than the overkill Paramo or tatty Keela.

Sale on at Naylors so I added a couple of things. All in all, a bargain.

I think a new pretty summer nightdress is to be made over the winter months.

Lifesaver Jerry Can off a nice chap from FB Market place.

For the last year we've run a smaller Lifesaver cube to filter most of our home drinking and cooking water ( from our spring) and it's still working ok. Fitting a bit of suitable pipe to the tap makes it far more usable in the home.

 

[Bhod]

A new Adam Ashworth Slojd knife and a new Gransfors Bruk sheath for my GB splitting hatchet.

 

[Broch]

This book - 'A Handbook of Hardwoods' - Department of Science and Industrial Research, 1956. A book full of fantastic information on wood properties.

However, I'm confused by the conflicting dates

Ah, now I see, it's a 6 in the handwritten date; I thought it was a 4! - silly me.

 

[Mesquite]

3 scaffold boards for the workbench I'm making

 

[Bhod]

A new pair of tinsnips and a book - Hunter gather cook - Nick Weston

 

[k9trev]

Buffalo 6 shirt for the beautiful sum of £95 the gent brought it doesn't like it miss listed it as buy it now instead of bid so I snapped the hand off so to speak .

 

[Chris]

A dashcam (front and rear). Just too many maniacs on the road to risk a 'my word against theirs' situation.

John Fenna's costume for next year's moot. It's pink, very PINK

 

[TeeDee]

Have two of these already but this was on FB Marketplace for £20.

Obvs different design to the ubiquitous NATO can but benefits of a large screw cap ( so if needed you can reach in and clean ) or to drop a battery powered shower head unit in - which is probably what I will do with this one.

Are we talking a “Lady Marmalade” pink tone or a “Padum Padum” shade of pink?

Padum padum makes me think of that Kylie Minogue song with the video today reminds me so much of Doctor Who...

Doggo and Kylie... Er, NSFW
