Look what I bought!!!!

[undercarriage plan]

Well, Wardy, took your advice and got a scythe!! Isn't she pretty!! ;D It's only a little one, couldn't get a big one in the car......Sad thing is, got far more of a buzz getting this than clothes etc.... :-\ On the black and white theme front, all sorted, little black dress and pearl necklace, boring, but cheap! ;D ;D ;D Lottie

You'll just have to go out and buy yourself a big black cape now!

[undercarriage plan]

Oh Aqui!!! You're right, humpph! Tried son's batman one, not quite right....... ;) Lottie  ;D

[Derekthefox]

That is smashing Lottie! If you ever spot a left handed one, will you ask the shopkeeper to reserve it for me please ? Or is that handle reversible . . . ? I love using hand tools, but have never got on with a right handed scythe . . .  :(

Well I can at least live in hope . . .  :D

That's interesting Derek, I assume then that you are left handed and play a right handed guitar, ???  have you ever thought about changing the strings around the other way? or is that not possible? ???

[undercarriage plan]

You lost me too, Derek, easily done though, I suffer from the concentration of a slug..... Surely you just put it in your other hand? Or am I being more dense than normal..... ??? Lottie :-\

[daveandtara]

cool toy lottie,
about the party, are you sure we can't persuade you to buy a cruella wig?
it won't cost much and you can take it off after you make your entrance.
go on, you know you want to  ;D

OK, bit more persuasion........wavering here......where would I get such an object? If I was wavering......which I'm not...or am I?    Oh dear....back to drawing board.... :-\ Lovely tool though, eh??? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Lottie

[wardy]

If that's a scythe what's a sickle ???  ;D  Does it matter?  No!  ;D


That will go nicely with your little back dress  ;D

[undercarriage plan]

I thought so, Wardy! Little black dress, pearl necklace, scythe.....just goes together. like strawberries and car oil... ;D ;D ;D  Lottie

Ta EJ   So I was right then?  She has a ickle sickle  :)

[undercarriage plan]

Size isn't everything, you know.....it's how you use it ;D ;D ;D
Lottie

[lorna]

I agree about size so for goodness sake be careful what you do with that sickle!!!!!!!!!! NO NO LOTTIE!!!!! I just meant we don't want to land up with a shortened version of Lottie. ::) Lorna.

[undercarriage plan]

Oops!! Decided twirling probably not wise..... :-\ ;D !! Thanks Lorna, will step away from the sharp implement thingy.  Mind you, could don black cape, lurk in shadows of greenhouse and give little thugs a run for their money........ ;) Lottie

[ellkebe]

Little black dress, pearl necklace .... scythe - that's a disturbing image  ;D
On a serious note though, I wouldn't leave that anywhere the 'little dears' could get their hands on it.

[Derekthefox]

Right yes, just catching up here . . .
ok, Yes sickle of course . . . silly me!

Roy, yes I am left handed and play the guitar right handed - don't have any choice on a piano . . . just decided it's a right handed world so I will have to live with it, or pay a disgusting amount just to have a left handed guitar. The construction of a classical guitar is not symmetrical, so restringing it would not sound correct.

Lottie, you sweep in a particular direction to use the sickle?  ie anticlockwise?
As a left handed user I would sweep in the opposite direction, and the sickle would therefore be upside down . . . think about it . . . it would point towards the ground because of the angle of the handle . . .

Never mind, I tried ! ! !  :D

Derekthefox  :D

Derek,

Browse Anything left-handed.co.uk, gardening & DIY section - £40 buys you a 16" scythe - oh! and you get 5p change  ;D

Spensive business, being a southpaw, innit?

Cheers!

[Derekthefox]

Caeggy handed apparently . . . thanks for that link Alishka

If I had a blade, I would make my own sickle, must scrat around at work, see if I can get a decent piece of steel . . .

Thanks though . . .

Derekthefox  :D

[Derekthefox]

Apparently that is correct FB, but it has its limitations !

Sorry Lottie, you have my apologies, looks like your thread has been hijacked, now seems to be about lefthanded guitar players ! ! !  ;D

Please don't hit me with your sickle . . . .

Derekthefox  :D
