Today I acquired...........

Save it for the Brexit hiccup, all you'll need is 100 oxo cubes and you can have a decent hot dinner with gravy at least once a day for about two months .
Skimp to one meal every two days and you'll still be alive four months later by which time many townies will have succumbed to starvation.

And as a bonus, very shiny hair.

Not a huge lot of any interest at the last car boot of the season...

£1. It reminds me of a nice big blonde Lab I had a few years back.

£5 for the grinder. It's a 110v one that some goon's put the wrong plug on. I'll rewire it tomorrow and see if it's dead or not. I only got it because I have a couple of boxes of 4" discs that came my way free a while back. N+1 seems to apply to grinders as well as bikes

The clamp screw and the ground anchor were 25p each. I'll see if I can find a use for the clamp somewhere. Maybe a bench hold down or something. The ground anchor will be used for chaining bikes up in the garage.

The free gift.

So, if you take the long view....Hermes did you a favour.

The artist has captured the expression very well, especially the eyes.

You're being a bit vague there.

This came last week, from @8ob. Thanks again Bob. Lovely bit of kit. Rotates in every direction, & deceptively heavy for its size.



Obligatory mug for scale. Pay attention to that mug @gaz1.

No it doesn't.

Does not rotate in my direction.

One of the rare things which is avoiding that vortex around you.

Looks like an Elliot Victoria one

Think it may be a J&S, going from the little bit which is legible on the tag.

Carving chisels, used but sharp.
I think they are Vampire chisels, as they have drawn blood already.
That's how I know they are sharp.

gouge not common chisel

Very Shakesperian.

Nice BTH motor, amazing quality, that’s at least 58 years old as BTH became AEI in 1960. I have one on my Fobco, I love hearing the click as it winds down.

Brand new mower thrown away by DIY store, nothing wrong with it as far as i can tell.

Normaly the human input of the buyer had an issue with it. So as it has no noticeable defect it will be binned.

Another 12v parkside tool, this time I purchased it for the 3rd battery for my mini grinder, and the 12v battery lead. But it appears this might be a half decent 1/2 impact gun for light jobs.

I'll probably keep it. I think it's a hydraulic impact, similar to reviewed by aVe recently.

I only went into Lidl to buy broccoli...



Might modify the 12v cable to fit my 12v lithium booster pack

From a certain auction site £25 I collected them up today and was suprised how heavy they were
