Lovely Sunshine!
It's so warm here today, but I feel absolutely drained! I have no energy! Its not often we get a few days in a row of really sunny weather - just not used to it! I'll apologise in advance - photos have nothing to do with post - they are of a dockside crane and I just fancied putting them in!
Overheard in a charity shop - sorry Scarlett (check out her blog for some great "overheards"!), its not often I hear anything worth reporting, but this was a classic!
I think we've all noticed that charity shop prices seem to be on the rise - this woman was most put out!
I was just minding my own business when I overheard the woman, who was looking at the textiles rack, tut and mutter -
"£15 for wan curtain - that's £30 a pair - ridiculous, could buy new for cheaper!"
I made the mistake of smiling in agreement with her, which prompted further revelations - it doesn't take much for Greenock folk to "share" with strangers!
She indicated the skirt she was wearing - emerald green in some sort of clingy material, and she wasn't a slim chick!
"Ah sweat a lot in this weather, so ah got this skirt in here yesterday, cost £4! Then ah went tae Primark an' got wan fur £3 - brand new! These places are gettin' terrible wi thur prices!"
What could I say - so true, I had to agree, but the sweaty bit was far too much information!
I promptly left (empty handed) before I was the recipient of any other personal information she might wish to share with me!
(Hope you understood the Scottish accent!)
Anyway, off to do housework (if I can find the energy) - elder son and daughter in law arrive tomorrow for a week - so looking forward to seeing them!
Have a great weekend.
Love, Liz

I see you love the Outlander series! I too have read them all more than once. I often remember that Clarie describes Jamie as speaking in a much heavier Scottish accent when he was with emotion on a subject. You just did that perfectly with this post. It was so funny. I just love that book series. My Grandpa was a McKenzie, so I am very fond of Jamie!;)
