I've just eaten an Easter egg. It's been sitting on my sofa* since before Easter and I had a bit of a tidy up.

Also on my sofa were a magazine, a book, 5 masks, 4 Christmas cards from last year (unopened or undelivered), a dash cam, a blanket, some sanitiser and a fleece. Actually, they're all still on the sofa. It was only a bit of a tidy up.

*Or is it a settee or a couch?

 

[Illaveago]

Is that as opposed to the rather nice bin?

(Hat, coat, et c)

Yes it is a rather drab green colour, I would like a nice sparkling metallic blue one .

You've got to start somewhere.

By the sound of it, it's a shelf.

Does not surprise me as I had all sorts of chancers when I worked for a living.

I worked in a charity shop for a while when I was between jobs and never ceased to be amazed at the way some people would try it on, even for items priced at fifty cents.

 

[tyred]

I think that I will go

We get this as well. Our manager was getting thoroughly exasperated by a customer today who would bounce from one item to another and ask "how much for this?" when the manager told him, he'd ask for a discount or just wander to something else at random and repeat. We also have people occasionally who ask us to donate items to them.

I tend not to worry about it because some "customers" show similar psychological problems to our clients so I can generally guess why they're acting in the way they are.

Right, it's time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Nah, there's another 45 minutes to go in Blighty.

Tough !

 

[Andy in Germany]

Tough !

You can still spell then, despite the 45 minute head start...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Tough !

No worry, I got there eventually! It's a bit lively though....

It`s well past 11 am!🍺

I am suitably full of veggie chilli plus trimmings.

The Bay of E auction I thought would be a shoo-in. Well, I lost that one too... The universe is having far too much fun at my expense. Fortunately it's a reasonably common programme that turns up regularly. But four times in every five, it's sans the race card / lap chart.
