What was the last thing you bought?

[Kawasaki Jimbo]

Last Spring I was disappointed at the lack of flowers in the garden. There used to be daffodils, a couple of snowdrops and a tulip but I think I might have dug the bulbs up while trying to root out some weeds. At the time I thought I’d just pop into the garden centre and buy some crocuses in particular, but apparently that’s not how it works and there were none. Today I remembered this and I’ve bought some bulbs. They were all just inside the garden centre like they were expecting me. Planting tomorrow.

I'm really struggling to resist bulb-buying season.
Its always tempting to buy more, all those glossy brochures!
And its such a buzz in the depths of early spring when you suddenly spot a flower that you had forgotten you had put in there.

Not sure what my favourite is ... too much loveliness to choose from. I have some tiny irises that suddenly show up first, when the garden looks like its never going to do anything. I've never really bothered with crocuses in my own garden as they are always all over the local parks anyway ... but these cute little irises are slightly bigger than crocuses

I've planted a fuck-tonne of snakes-head fritillarias in the last few years, and not a single one has shown up, bastardly things.

Set of Sealey Premier torque wrenches

Not Wera but good enough for my occasional tinkering.

And a set of Draper feeler gauges.

An animatronic werewolf (£35 at Asda) which has purple flashing eyes and which howls when you walk past it.

I've cable-tied it to a plant stand so that nobody nicks it.
Even the little old lady next door likes it.

I may call him Zevon.

Connectors, connectors, connectors. Is there some sort of competition between the manufactures to cram in as many styles as possible into a wiring loom?!

Even a "primitive" Royal Enfield loom has three sorts: sealed, 2.8mm and 6.3mm. The latter in some weird arrangements I'd not seen before.
