When I was talking with my brother last week, he pointed out
that the Warrant Of Fitness on my car was due to expire this week. I never would have known!
This morning, I took my little car into the Service Centre (garage) and it passed
with flying colours, so that is good for another twelve months.
When I left the garage I needed to drive around the block so
as to avoid having to cross traffic, and there was a carpark right outside the
Orphans Charity Shop. It was meant for
me, I’m sure it was meant for me LOL.
One of the first items I found was this lovely $3 hat. Blue is one of my favourite colours and this
will make a nice addition to my summer wardrobe.
Mittens was not impressed though. She was more interested in returning to her
snooze than admiring my hat.
I keep telling Myself to stop buying books but Myself never
listens!! Three books this time and I am
looking forward to browsing through them.
The one about an Edwardian Childhood looks to be especially
interesting, whereas the other two are basically cook books.
We are having heavy showers today, interspersed with little
bouts of sunshine and accompanied by gusty winds. There is a thunderstorm watch in place, so
that might be something to look forward to later in the day. (Not!)
Have a happy day 😊
Margaret.
Love the hat and the books look interesting. We just had a loud clap of thunder.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great hat.
ReplyDeleteWe have car inspections here every year too. Another thing to look after.
I give Myself talks too...about books and fabric!
ReplyDeleteYour hat is nice...and what a steal!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat the Thunder and Lightning in the night was very loud
ReplyDeleteWe had really heavy rain but I never heard any thunder. Looking at Napier tonight, I think we got off fairly lightly.
DeleteYour hat looks brand new and no doubt will be a great help in keeping the sun off your head/face.
ReplyDeleteThe book about the Edwardian Childhood looks VERY interesting!!
Your hat looks much more stylish than the Speedy Gonzales thing Mr B used to keep the sun off me. You could wear your hat to a wedding. Xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteBut Tigger, you looked so cute in it :))
DeleteCattern Cakes and Lace is one of the books I have and use for my 1st of the month country sayings blog pages. I'm glad you found a copy of it right around the other side of the world!
ReplyDeleteI read through it this afternoon. What a fascinating book - I can see why you use it :)
DeleteYou can't have too many books ever!! Love your hat, I have a huge floppy brimmed hat for our summers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hat! And Mittens is just too cute! Yes, I know what you mean, I ordered the new Jamie Oliver cookbook...
ReplyDeleteYour hat was a prize not to be missed! We have a whole selection of cookbooks but seem to get most of our new recipes from the internet these days.
ReplyDeleteOOOO don't we all love a charity shop bargain!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes , you were definitely directed to that hat by a power above. Those books look very interesting
ReplyDeleteMittens is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning hat Margaret - an great buy. I would be most interested in the Cattern Recipes and lace book, as lacemaking is a hobby of mine.
ReplyDeleteStay safe
