Fiona's Quiet Life

it was either sit at home obsess­ivly watch­ing for people to bid on things i was selling on ebay or join in the fun, so sat­urday morn­ing found me inside queens park cam­era club munch­ing on a bacon butty.…..well it was mid day and you can’t do a chal­lenge on an empty tummy.

so we split into five teams of four people and off we set in search of 16 things 12 of which we had to get pho­tos of as amus­ing as pos­sible i.e. a rep­tile, the Vic­toria puma, cath­cart circle, the white cart, park life, sport­ing activ­ity, place of wor­ship, water­ing hole, stained glass win­dow, eat­ing ice cream, etc etc.….….….….…the trick was not to win as the win­ning team had to set next years chal­lenge, my excuse for not win­ning ) then we had to pro­duce 12 pic­tures for instant judging by 3 pm and while the judges laboured over the entries.….choosing there own as the winners.….we all had after­noon tea yum!

it shows how long it is since i did any ebaying,.….…..where have all the post offices gone, i nipped out to post some­thing and my two nearest ones had gone and the next nearest is awfull and it cost to park near it. how­ever post office online and paypal both allow you to pay and print off pre­paid labels online.….……i just hope my weigh­ing scales are accur­ate. two people ignored my col­lect from home only bit for large items and now expect me to post them. but the per­son to whom Mar­isa gave her green­house a couple of weeks ago have bought my old sat­nav and are going to col­lect so that saves the paypal fees and postage.

and i have planted 4 more potatos.……the slugs ate all the brus­sel sprout plants, i am now waging war on slugs.
