What did you buy today?

[Pattree]

Do you mean the one that your chewer cocked up?

Here I was, thinking that I'd managed to get through all of Friday and Saturday without buying a single thing.
Then I remembered that I had, in fact, bought three things.
My travel pass for the month of March.
Two copies of Knife Repair and Restoration.
I stumbled upon this book an a Norwegian site, then looked for a second hand copy on Abe Books. €35 to €96! Plus €35 in shipping!
I bought new, including extortionate DHL shipping charges, it came to about €29.

Decided on some retail therapy; most necessary when clearing out.

A black parasol. (Horn handle; needful for my hornware collection)
a brass candlestick. (the standard `Wee Willie Winkie` type)
one of those useful screw top aluminium pots

A couple more books to read. Aspley Cherry-Garrard's accounts of Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition, and a really nice coffee table book filled with Herbert Ponting's photos of the expedition.
