It's Half Past November

 I thought the nearest car-boot sale had finished a few weeks ago when the ground was really soggy but the dry weather over the last two weeks meant they kept going and the last one was last Sunday.  Of course I had to go and look and broke Low Spend November by............50p!.

They are to replace a couple of my herb/spice jars that have pull off lids which are really hard to open -it's  an age and weakness thing!

Then I did the big garden job I'd been dreading and it was hard work just as I knew it would be. The job was to empty last years compost bin- it made 4 wheelbarrows full for the veg beds and for the fruit trees. The compost looked good which I was pleased about. Then I turned this year's bin into last years - that lets in some air and makes it rot down better. The bin was absolutely full of lovely worms - not earthworms but the proper compost sort - red or brandling - exactly what's needed in a compost bin. Happy gardener!

As well as the NYT Wordle I usually try their mini crossword and the connections every day, many fails due to lots of US words, baseball teams etc etc. 

On Wednesday I managed the connections puzzle but  the connection in the 4 words left seemed  very tenuous......................

What do you think the connection is between Colonel, Pharaoh, Worcestershire and Wednesday. I wouldn't have guessed, so it's a good job it told me the connection was that they were words that seem longer written than spoken!

How's it going with  No Low Spend November? 

Brought Forward £286.80

I did say I'd only be buying buy fresh food or anything I didn't want to run out of but that only puts off buying things for a month which seems pointless so I've been doing the normal shop of fresh stuff and replacing things used.

This week just gone - Saturday to Friday.

Last Saturday's Christmas Fayre and church morning total of £6.50. All for  charity and churches.
Car boot-sale, Window Cleaner, Exercise Group, Bin Bags =£14.80 +Asda, Tesco and Aldi Food £23.65  

(I discovered Tesco are the only place to find Lemon Meringue Pie Filling  which I wanted after using the packet that was 2 years past it's BB date ......it was absolutely fine and a nice treat.)

£286.80 + £44.95 =     £331.75.

If you watched Antique Road Trip this week then on Wednesdays programme they were in Suffolk and Hettie went to Sarah's Attic in Monks Eleigh which is where I was last Saturday and Raj was at the Antique place at Stonham Barns where my nearest car boot sale is held. Always good to see Suffolk on TV. 

More Christmas Fayres this weekend - I shall look without spending too much and then there is colder weather forecast from Sunday onwards so I'll be settling into read my library books.

Have a good weekend and I'll be back Monday
