It's good to not put all your eggs in one basket.

Unless they're Fabergé.....👍

Packing my bike bags. I'll have to leave stupidly early in the morning to be sure of getting space for my bike on the train.

Today was a public holiday so I'm hoping tomorrow morning will be quieter as most people will have arrived wherever they're planning to go for the weekend, or will be staying there until the weekend is nearly over, but I'm playing safe...

I'm off to go take my frustration out on some innocent vegetables...

See y'all after supper.

And may the seller wake up in the middle of the night with ants in his pants.

Given I'm spending my evening listing lots of things on eBay (cycle jersey, men's shirts, women's petite clothes) I really don't want you bidding and wishing me that

Oh, and there's bike parts to be listed later this week ...

What I've been doing for the last few years is that whenever I have a few spare pennies, I buy a piece of (vintage) jewellery that I like. That way, I can enjoy stuff, and if I buy wisely, I'm not going to lose money if I decide to sell on. Fortunately my tastes are quite classic, which always helps in that regard.

Unfortunately, some of the rings I have are now too big, as I have lost a stone in weight since buying them...

Any proper jeweller would be able to reduce them and I know our local silversmith does alterations if required.
I realise you may not want to do that of course.

I seem to have collected some elderly Singer sewing machines. I was going to try selling them for a modest price till I put the serial numbers into a collectors site. Prices are well up on what I expected so they are not going cheap now. Anything from £300 to £450.

Channel 5. Where else?

Had a lovely big wrap filled to bursting with lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, avocado, cold chicken and a dollop of mayonnaise. Um, and a nice of course.

You can stand down. I'm not after any clothes or bike bits.

Yes, I know. I've had stuff resized before.

I just get around the issue by wearing them on my middle finger as opposed to my ring finger. That is, when I wear rings at all. At least I don't have that problem with my signet ring, which I inherited from my paternal grandmother.
