Blakemere Boot and Uke Marathon

Boot was the last of the year. A bit drizzly so only 3 quarters full field. Dint get much just a spindle of CD-R's which are always useful for mix tapes etc. Hazel didi well with lots of plants, mint, pansies etc. Also two toffee tins and a silk scarf. Plus a mid century wood magazine rack. She thought Archie might like it. Then off the town to see the Ukulele chaps and chappesses doing their thing - tryig to beat a 36 hour record Uke Jam. They did it we later heard. Great stuff!

Shaft

Any excuse to hear the brilliant and funny Ukulele Orchestra of GB again.
A bit of a quiet week despite the return to Crewe flea market and the scavanging in piles of boxes. I got a couple of games. One works and the other kind of does, sort of, does. Also a few stocking fillers I can't mention just incase. Winks- taps side of nose.
Lots of shops closing in crewe , even the pound shop. Shows you how bad things are gettings. Where am I supposed to buy my sets of multi-function glue now?
Even the charity shops seemed full of dregs and barrel scrapings.
I have phoned several plumbers today and left messages on their answerphones but not one has phoned back. Maybe my plummy southern telephone voice puts them off? Hazel felt sure they would jump at the chance of repairing our bathroom leaks. They are becoming more drippy than ever now - and we have to empty the baking trays twice a day. Will phone some more tomorrow and pretend to be Albert Tatlock ( before your time obviously! ).
