What did you buy today?

You've stopped taking your medication again haven't you!
Nice lamp.

It wasn't strong enough in the face of such extreme temptation Andy

Just been able to buy a lantern I've been lusting after for a year and will be the centre piece of my collection.

A Swiss Eglof and Cie Helvetia hot blast hurricane lamp

Very nice!
I got a cheap self inflating mat from Lidl, no idea what it cost, but it must be cheap.
I was doing a shop for the food bank, and just threw it in the trolly. A full trolly plus the mat was still only £65 so I think I did well there.
Oh nearly forgot, new screwdrivers. Much needed!

A flat based copper wok.

A 5” Victorinox boning knife! Just waiting on a sheath from eBay so I can use it in the field. Ridiculously, the knife came in a massive cardboard box which the DPD driver found quite amusing once I told him what was in it!

A used Fallkniven F1 - might need a bit of work but I won’t be worried about beating on it.

That can't be used in large part of the world where C temp scale is in use.

A Lionsteel B41 and HH Ti Scales for my UKPK - very impressed with both!

Loads of kit I don' t really need, knowingly indulging in retail therapy when feeling a bit down.
e.g the most expensive item was a stainless steel oval US mess tin with the two-dish lid (but at sale discount price sir).
But I've got a genuine original with the battered aluminium lid.. so why?
Not sure, fear of losing or damaging something of sentimental value in the field maybe, mixed with wanting a nice new shiny with non-ally lid.

I really wanted to be away this weekend, under canvas and at a friendly bike rally. Van repair delays and work/home related pressures (guilt) meant I've binned it. I also fancied the Mind Moot but it's a no go - the insurance assessor has to come first, after I was rear-ended on my bike. Ho Hum, get stuck in and it will pass...
