I bought nothing today, and glad of it after buying waaaay too much stuff and things for projects that will possibly never come to fruition! Nearly bought a Baerskin hoodie but sense prevailed as I have a wardrobe full of hardly worn clothes.
What did you buy today?

Sussex (white one), cream legbar (grey one) and the big brown girl is a rhodebar. The legbar lays blue eggs, apparently.

They are point of lay, but with the move and with winter coming on I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any eggs from those three until spring.
Never know though.
Did they look ( politely ) look somewhat scruffier?? when you first got them ?? How long does it take them to ' Jeuje 'back up?
A bit dishevelled after the drive home, but apart from that they were pretty well preened from the get go. Not like our ex-commercials though, they were a sorry sight. Took a long while to get them back into good shape.
Ordered a water scoop, size 1 litre.
In early 20th century in Finland some lumberjacks and other people traveling the woods used a metal scoop as a simple cooking vessel for food and for coffee for cooking over fire.
I have long been interested about this but never found a suitable scoop for this because it had to have a handle suitable for attaching a wooden handle.
Until now after reading an article about the subject and the writer cooking with one and said where he bought it. So I ordered one too.

Two are for members of Sussex and Surrey Coppicing Group, which is high praise because they've been lifelong billhook users but recognised the advantage and versatility of the Skrama.
Two are for old BritishBlades guys who should know better, will hardly use them, but just couldn't resist.
Some 1.8-2mm thick Badalassi Carlo wax leather in Cognac (colour rather than drink).
Maybe it was on offer, I'll have a look at the price when I go again. I always find with Lidl's that my savings are offset by purchases of other stuff I don't really need
Sold my trailer today and immediately after that I scored a Dewalt 738 bandsaw on Marketplace.
A bargain price as it comes with over £100 worth of spare blades.

I replaced the car and trailer with a Peugeot Expert so picking it up won't be a problemAs long as you don't need the trailer to pick it up
A tin of Barbour wax as I've a jacket and a hat to reproof, also various little electrical odds n sods as I have been asked if I will convert another couple of Tilley lamps to electric, now to go buy a reel of two core twisted cloth covered cable as that will be four lamps in total to convert before Christmas.
Just received bulk military rations of

My Helikon-Tex Wolfhound in US Woodland arrived, and first impressions are good, a nice, lightweight synthetic insulated jacket! I also picked up a rather charming little Karrimor Jag 1 for about £6
