The jumble sale last Saturday, a fundraiser for a village hall in a nearby village, was absolutely packed with people. I just picked up a three things for £1
BUT while looking round I lost my woolly hat, which I'd shoved in my pocket as everyone went in, so annoying as I'd had it ages. It probably fell out of my pocket and got added to the jumble! I can't go out in winter without something over my ears as getting cold can make me dizzy. When I got home I searched high and low for two other pull on beanie type hats that I had and they've vanished, I do still have two but one is a very thin knit and the other is an old fleece hat that lives by the back door for going in the garden.
So that jumble sale has ended up costing me more money than I wanted as I've sent for two different new hats - one home knitted from the Oxfam online shop and a cheapie from ebay. (just occasionally I wish I'd had the patience to learn to knit!)
Then even more annoying, when I put my other coat on on Tuesday I found one of the vanished hats in my pocket ................duh!
After the jumble I went on to the next village for their monthly craft/farmers market and got a bag of rye flour to try (I've been wanting to try to make medieval maslin bread for ages)
BUT what I'd not realised was that rye flour needs a different mixer blade for my bread machine as it makes a very sticky dough. I could make by hand but find kneading dough very hard on the wrists now. New blades for the bread machine are cheap enough so I sent for a pack containing one of each - normal and rye - handy to have a spare anyway while it's still available.
So even though the sun was shining for the first time for many days it didn't feel as if I'd had a successful day.
Ho Hum
