Darrell Goes Mooching .........

Well, that was a Eurovision semi final and a half we had last night and from the little ones scorecards from Saturday night, Little Miss Iris won herself 80p and Young Master Bertie, the princely sum of 70p, for managing to pick  8 and 7 (respectfully) of the 10 songs going through to the Grand Final on Saturday. However, today, we need to inject a little normality back into our lives, before doing it all again tomorrow night ..........

So Darrell, bless him, has been out and about charity shop shopping  in town ........


....... "With summer on the cusp and in ascendance, it's always nice to add a few new key pieces to ones wardrobe, to help give you a bit of an extra spring in your step!" he informed me, What on earth is he like?


Let's just say there wasn't a 50p or 3 for a £1 basket in Evesham left unturned ........


....... with him returning home with a triumphant haul........


...... including a Christmas shirt, but hey, now's the best time to find those out of season bargains he reasoned.


Obviously, he was keen to model one in particular that just had summer fun written all over it, which, he said, would definitely be going on our next Greek oddity with him.


There was also one I quite fancied with a subtle, pastel, palm tree pattern on, so Darrell encouraged me to try it on and I have to admit I loved it, it fit like a dream and I was instantly transported to a beach holding a pina colada, Darrel could see it too, so, bless him, said I could keep it!


What a truly wonderful, wonderful generous friend! So its swits-swoo and wolf whistles at dawn ........... wait 'till Alice gets a gander of us!
