More and more and more kayaking stuff, in fact twice as much as I need because half of it is for nobby's kid.

It might sound like I'm being nice and helping him because nobby and mrs nobby don't know what to buy or where to buy from but it's nothing like that, I just can't be arsed to have to deal with child who has hypothermia and this is the easiest way of avoiding that. Plus there are many child welfare things which are a general headache / hassle / stupidity so we don't want hypothermia added to the list. |

Its three days before payday and I've gone and had a bit of a binge on some clothes.
Two jackets (one in blue "reptile pattern" and one of those ripped* things in black denim with a raggy hem and black pearl buttons)
A pair of navy "snake effect" skinny-leg trousers.
And a crop jumper in herringbone with black cuffs.
Bloody TK Maxx - I never used to fit into their stuff. Now I've discovered I do. I've not even *started* on Monsoon, yet.
Oh yeah, and a pair of pink tassel earrings. I wasn't going to buy them, but I needed £3.99 to get to the £75 so I could get free shipping, and they were only £5.99
Possibly it was the suggestion that they would be perfect to tart up a "little black dress" (of which I have quite a few in different styles), but yes ... they're right! They would tart up most of my LBDs quite well, it was an investment in six quid.
And free delivery.
Bargain!
*I really disapprove of this fashion for ripped things. I can't get my head around it. But I liked the pearl buttons on this one. So I pretended not to notice the ripped hem of the denim jacket when I was waving my credit card at the screen.
Edit 1/11: I am extremely annoyed with myself, in that only the earrings fit me at present ... I forgot that TK Maxx generally caters for skinny types, which is why all the eastern europeans shop there. It will take a considerable amount of effort for me to diet down into the jackets, and possibly even exercise, as my bingo wings are the only thing stopping them from fitting My next spending spree may well be on a nip and tuck op on the saggy bits that this diet has produced.
Meantime, better get back ON the diet, as yesterday I spent a ridiculous amount of money on cakes in M&S, comfort eating after my horrid anaphylactic attack ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life.

I didn't, but yesterday my better half went to the garden centre and spent £280 on not a lot. Robbing, thieving bastards preying on the gullibility of persons desperate for retail therapy.

I must admit, the coffee-shop thing is just a bonus so far as I am concerned. I really do go for the plants, and try not to leave with assorted extra things. Luckily my closest garden centre is in a B&Q so for the most part I am not interested in ironmongery or paint. I take the occasional jaunt around the lighting section, but mostly I head for the plants.
Having said that, the senior consort has a loyalty card to his garden centre/coffee shop, and it does make the coffee and buns experience a lot cheaper (as if neither of us can afford it ) - I can see him making a habit of taking me for coffee there of a weekend. But I don't mind, as there are several roses out the back which I would like to take home with me next time I am down there. I made a point of sniffing them to make sure they were scented. It's all very well having roses that look beautiful, but the smell is all part of the pleasure for me. I've taken photos of the ones I want ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Got my new phone this morning and gone through the usual trauma of trying to transfer everything over. From a Note 10 to a Flip 3 you'd think it'd be flawless, I pity the muggles
As to the phone let's just say I wouldn't buy one with my own money but as it's a "gift" from the company expense account I can't get too upset. Side mounted finger print reader seems to be much more reliable so far even if it is technically a step back from an ultrasonic under-screen reader. Left or right handed a finger or thumb seems to naturally sit on the sensor. Form factor is a few millimetres longer and a few millimetres narrower than my old Note 10+ which is more of an improvement than one might expect. Thickness is pretty much identical.
But the "star of the show" the foldy bit? It's obviously there and it'd probably annoy the hell out of the OCD ppl but in practice it's easily forgotten. Light at certain angels catching the crease is more obvious than the physicality the the design. It doesn't really open and close quickly - none of the savoir fair of flipping open an old Razr - but it's definitely a very bizarre object once folded given the world has got used to great slabs of phones.
The exterior screen takes a lead from watch designs but I'm sure it's meant to do more than just tell the time ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

My free Samsung Watch turned up (an offer with a phone upgrade) and I'm quite pleased with it. The LTE versions are being pushed heavily (with their own monthly data contract!) whereas this bottom rung one is only WiFi and Bluetooth. How quaint
Even so it has the usually step counter and heart rate monitor but on top of that it also does blood pressure (after calibration) ECG, body composition, blood oxygen level (when sleeping) and... "stress" Oh, and it also tells the time! Most useful is the Samsung Pay feature which saves me fishing out my phone or (hopefully) even taking off my motorcycle gloves
Overall I like that these things now look like watches ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
