Just back online after a long bank holiday weekend - one of the kids managed to give me a nasty cold so nothing major done down the allotment!!! >:(
On BH Monday Mrs Wivvles dragged us all out to the monster car boot sale. After trudging round various stalls and looking at piles of junk I came across a chap selling - well, junk, to be honest. There was a pile of old tools to one side, so I rummaged through and pulled out a rusty looking object about 12 inches long, with a wooden handle. Before I could say a word, the chap said "That's a boot scraper - you can have it for 20p". I duly gave him the coin and wandered off. Mrs Wivvles looked down her nose at me - "Why do you want a boot scraper?". "I don't want a boot scraper - but I do want this onion hoe..."
Half an hour or so with some sandpaper and an oily rag and it's not as good as new - but it's a bloody bargain!!!!! ;D
