30th August Today has been the summer. Lovely!
Bill has been buying again! He is managing to spend more than me when we go out hunting.
But then how we could ignore the old oil lamp, complete with chimney and globe. It looked interesting, but somebody else was looking at it... and then asked how much the seller wanted for it. "Oh bother" we thought, "we have lost that one then". The price was £5 - I wonder why that other browser left it there, muttering about asking somebody else what he thought.
Too late - we bought it straight away.
I wonder what we'll do with it!
It had been in use in the seller's father's house in Scotland - and still has the oil in it.
It has been a lovely day. I think today has been the summer - as far as August is concerned.
We went early to Faygate, where I bought some good books for EBay. We refer to EBay as Ed when we are out and about. I will say to Bill "Do you think Ed would like this?"; after all you can't stand in front of a seller and discuss whether it will make a profit on EBay can you?
Later we went to Edenbridge.
Both boot sales were huge - bigger than normal.
We have had a roast beef dinner tonight, whilst watching the final of the choir competition.
In a few minutes I will be back for the deciding moments between the last 2 choirs and just as it should be, maybe, the final 2 are from Wales.
Will it be the male voice choir with great verve and panache or the amazing school choir from Bangor to win?
I think they have both already received a stunning prize in that they sung at the concert outside Buckingham Palace last Sunday to 50,000 people.
What an experience that must have been!
Tomorrow should begin with good weather in these parts, though rain is expected later.
I guess we might go to Pease Pottage - it is close to home so we don't need time to get there or fuel to power the car for more than a mile. We just could go on to another if it proves less than satisfactory.
Right - kettle on and back to the singing.
Goodnight.
