There was no way to not say "moose and squirrel" in a poorly done Boris Badenov Russian accent when I found them :p

Founded in 1949, West Germany hasn't been used in nearly 34 years now

Just what I needed, more stuff to display 😋
 
I bought these today and it is a nice time of the year to treat yourself. To be honest I stopped outside and some stuff did catch my eye. I forced myself in there though in an overwhelm or whatever trying to carry on with life. My Starbucks cup needed replacing. All in my favourite colour of course.

Bet you all can't guess who's my all-time favorite Pokemon. :P Bought these weeks ago during the first day of November.

Same deal with these. Just haven't got around to showing these off due to being sidetracked.
 
Eight talking machine records.

Currently listening to Dick Haynes' rendition of "Let the Rest of the World Go By" on the Decca label. I would like to have it on Edison Blue Amberol cylinder or Diamond Disc, but I don't mind this one! It's pretty typical of the fifties/late forties remakes of songs popular in the early 1

Also found the Vaughn Monroe take of "Riders in the Sky," which is absolutely one I've been looking for for a very long time indeed. (Could've bought it online but it was more fun to hunt it in the wild.)

Had to steal this photo from another website because while I did buy this (and it arrived on Thursday), I had my mum wrap it up for me as a Christmas present lol.
 
I bought half a harp back in October.

I just heard from the craftsperson making it.

It's all done, except the levers have to be added and regulated, so a few more days and I can buy the second half of the harp.

In time for Christmas. I'm suddenly a child again, crazy with anticipation...
 
With Christmas obviously some of on here will be buying more right around about now and especially those of us with children in the family. I don't want to post all their presents, but I do try and get them sometimes retro gifts that I used in my time or well known and something of their chosing and sometimes a bit of money as well.

I have really liked personal organisers filofax and stuff. For years I asked my youngest brother to buy me a filofax every year or a diary. It was not like I maxed them all out but would ask. Of course the date changes lol.
The last one he bought me a A5 Dominio and I have not asked for another and then my family went to under 18 only for gifts. That point I was in the middle as being over 18 with children in the family to buy for but none of my own. I was spending a lot and getting nothing in....con. No I like buying presents for the children and my brother and my oldest but youngest brother still now buy me a gift down to his own choice. I like it the one year children only sanction when we did the Christmas secret santa in the family and I ended up pairing with my brother in law.

Anyway getting back the organiser and I am still using the last one my brother bought me and actually just restarting. Used it in long train rides as well. I have been buying lately some inserts and it makes me feel good. I have done some uploads. I even took the organiser in a masterclass after I saw a theatre called the Gift. Unexpected turn, less said.The story writer was departing her knowledge to the young and I tagged in and learnt a lot. She was so humble body language and how dressed.

One pocket sized insert I couldn't make it out I needed A5 and they have given a full refund. I was prepared to get it to them with efforts a lot as well..laughing. Some I am split for one was like encouraging discourging my eating distress for it I link as well. Minimal eating planner..eat as less food as well..writing down junks...throw it out when you get it. I tried to change my mind. What on earth can they mean.....I cannot work it out right now. One was on a sale and got it yes I wanted it for complete for the year..not for 12 pounds on Filofax. It was about 5 pounds and I was just going for a first page like a calendar and probably 6 months won't be fully used.

Thank goodness I am done for Christmas as well pretty much. One I have been buying I have been and re buying as a cheap gift. Such a good deal I got one then got infected by them sig a ling. They are so nice. So far rector has got said good things....auntie as well phoned me and applauded...now mum and dad...sis just went..for one unit as an outpatient...more in advance will link to them.

I have been trying to think more about the minimal food planner.
First of all came up with no snacks. Still that is not great is it.

Then just now may be it doesn't fold out that much. Never before have I seen it called that.

I have had it delivered I will get it now.

Opened it doesn't seem the second as a pull out small size. It is all individual pages and there is things for grocey shopping.

Minimal cost hoping perhaps in this age that would be the better one. Out for here today and viewing Argos with expectation not great though.
 
I decided to try Heineken‘s non-alcoholic brew today.

Not bad at all. Goes well with tacos. Kinda pricey, though.
