How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!

Last weekend the girls came home for a few days so I didn't make any plans - no buying or selling expeditions, walks, drinks, meals or coffees.  On Saturday morning we went to Westfield (with my credit card) and then?  Well, I scarcely saw them because it was very important that they catch up with friends - the friends they speak to every day on Facebook, Skype, BBM and all the other methods of social networking now available to anyone who doesn't find a peddle bin a bit of a technological challenge.

So, having no plans I could get up on Sunday morning and do a little bit of much over-due painting.  These little vintage boxes are destined for Shepton Flea on 11th December.












Now they need a coat of polish.

Also, to show you a few things I found at the back of the garage when I had a turn out ...


Painted wood...




... and more painted wood.  Don't know what this handsome couple were for.  They look as though they ought to be handles for something but the bottoms are solid.

Remember these?
