What did you buy today?

[Furbles]

I asked Ben Orford to make me the first ever reindeer antler Nomad…

My local charity shop came up with two beauties today. A pure wool mammapacha long line cardie for £25 , brand new, and worn once, ( normaly about £180 ) and a brand new unused woodgas stove with a large bag of wood pellets and wax card firelighters for £8.00.
Both on my want list since before covid hit.
Patience is wallet friendly!

 

[Tengu]

Thats grand.

All I scored recently was an Altoids tin and a short Yew plank. This was after no less than NINE charity shops.

But I had a grand day out in Wiltshire with my friend, and she bought plenty of clothes for her friend who is expecting.

(I did ask expecting what? But got no answer).

I got myself a shiny set of Maxtrax with a mount. I could have done with earlier in the week to help get a friends motorhome off a shallow grass slope.

 

[Bhod]

A couple of books on cheese making, Bacon - tick, Sausages - tick, Salami and chorizo - tick, Cheese making - TBC

 

[Keith_Beef]

Quite a productive day, all told.

Some CDs (€3), a book (€22) and a fixed blade knife (€60).


Oh, and milk, butter, sausages, beer, wine, washing up liquid, radishes, cheese, chorizo, salami...

 

[Falstaff]

Spent over £150 at a friends fabric and bits shop last day sale as they are closing down. Got a whole load of treated waterproof and non waterproof nylon fabric, plus several rolls of nylon webbing in various sizes and lots of D rings and self-jamming buckles. also a 5m roll of fluffy fibre pile fabric for sleeping bag liners.

I've lots of plans for these - lightweight bivvy sheet, ditto chimney sweeping floor and fireplace soot sheets, a variety of kit bags and a nylon milton bag like the ones made by Greencraft, but with a couple of mods I've thought of. Maybe a lightweight packable day sack for non-camping trips.

Just be warned, it can get addicting trying to find bargains. I also bought an L.L.Bean made in USA Polartec hooded fleece. This one will be for proper use out walking or dogsbodying etc. The Karrimor I bought for general wearing/keeping nice. I'm really looking forward to getting this L.L.Bean.

The purple bum bag will complement that beautifully

 

[Dan00001]

Well it arrived today. I'm really liking it, it's very comfortable and I love the colour. Almost too nice to take out on the hills

Nice! Do you have any pics? I’ve considered getting one of these myself. What steel did you go for

Shopping bag for groceries.

Can easily get 8 cans of baked beans and a loaf of bread in there.

Or heaps of tomatoes and lashings of ginger beer.

Question - and quite possible temporal shift tangent hijack...

Can you have 'lashings' of any other drink?

Lashings of orange juice? Coke? Root beer? - why specifically 'Lashings'???? I'm now curious.

 

[Glow_worm]

Herman got it the wrong way round.

There are only two drinks you can have lashings of, both served by the pint:

Ginger beer
Gravy

[Pattree]

As a midlander who grew up near Manchester I am allowed lashings of anything but mostly fluids. Cream, buttercream, icing, tea, honey, ice cream but spices and sauces too.

I’ve never analysed this before but I use it more for foods that augment a main item such as cherries in a cherry cake, lashings of custard with apple pie.

It implies a generous application.
