The day before yesterday I discovered an amazing folksy CD on www.thecrankycrow.blogspot.com she has a little gizmo on the bottom of her blog which plays some lovely tunes. Said CD was £30, ouch, but I couldn't help myself. Today I almost bought a rather lush book all about plant medicines, I resisted, just as well as I do have rather a number of similar books in the library here.
Instead after reading Martin Lewis's newsletter this morning I was straight over to the Boots website and ordered some skin care on special offer. And so this is how the money goes, tra la la.
I have also been watching episodes of The Saint starring Roger Moore. I absolutely love it, because it reminds me of when I was a child of about 6, watching Sunday evenings before bedtime. The episodes are naturally dated but that is part of the charm. I can see now where I got my lofty ideas of glamour, travel and expensive living. Also dear reader I now have a bit of a crush on Roger Moore, OMG the voice, the hair the twinkly blue eyes. Of course this had led me to another rather swoon worthy purchase.
In defending my numerous purchases may I say that I have had a bit of a mini lockdown within the lockdown because I broke my ankle at the beginning of June and it has been a long time mending. Small parcels of delight have kept my chin up.
I'm now able to get down a little way into our terribly sloping garden and managing to pick some fruits.
I'll leave you today dear friends with a picture of Morgana Mittens administering some kitty healing.
Oh my goodness, I do hope your ankle's now on the mend and isn't quite so painful as it looks in the photo. I don't think it hurts to make a few lovely purchases, as you say, a few deliveries can certainly perk you up, as I'm sure Morgana Mittens does, she's such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Hope you're doing okay.

....with Morgana Mittens by my side I would be right as rain in a jiffy LOL! It does look as if she has gone into a healing trance ...bless her!! I think a few extra purchases is what the doctor would order ...if you feel good you heal quicker! Take care Amanda x
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Amanda.

Funnily enough, as I came upstairs to catch up with blogs a few minutes ago I said to my husband, "I promise not to do any shopping tonight!" Those little parcels of delight have certainly kept my chin up and, as I pointed out to him, I've spent less that what we've saved on petrol (and beer, while the pubs were closed). I'm glad your ankle is healing, albeit slowly. x
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. So your husband is now convinced you've saved him money, I love it.
ReplyDeleteExactly! x
