Tis the season to be jolly

More apples today... and these ones made it into a crumble.

I like mine with cream.   I think Jamie probably would have preferred custard. 

Hooray for leftovers.

A new trolley named Doris has been integrated into my rounds this week.  She is very robust and holds lots of catalogues.  She leaks a little but that is a small problem that is easily overcome with baby wipes.

I hope to spend many happy hours with her.  The apples fitted very well into a very handy little pocket in her lid which was definitely a Brucey Bonus.

Beady eyes

 One of my customers makes gorgeous sea glass beads and has a new website which I will tell you more about soon.
However, via her website I have discovered Beads By Laura, which also has some beautiful beads available if you are crafty.
  I used to make jewellery but don't anymore. However I still take an interest and really enjoy feasting my eyes on the stunning beads that people are producing now. 
You can enter Laura's competition by following the link and may win some of these beauties.

Dogs

seem to be featuring frequently in the 'unusual uses for Kleeneze products' category  at the moment.

Today one customer disclosed that she had bought the hose to tap connector purely so she could hose down her very large and  very hairy hound out in the garden as he had outgrown the bathroom.


Having had a large labrador in the past who loved water and baths I can understand this desire to remove him from the bathroom. 

My dog, Otto, used to love being bathed and tried to eat the shampoo once it had been put on, so I had to rinse him off very quickly before he could eat enough of it to be sick!
