Where I'm stunned by the wonders of ebay and a beanstalk

11.00am
Email from ebay this morning-
"Congratulations! You are highest bidder for item: Vintage scented soaps from Spain, in original satin lined box, with Flamenco dancer design on lid."

It is accompanied by the helpful footnote which reads -
"Don't miss these related items"

Liverpool FC pewter key ring
Collection of 5 corkscrews (condition used, a little rust)
Barcelona FC imprinted lighter (brand new)
Small meth's burner, in metal case
Glass and lead propagator

Mmmm... is  it just me, or.....oh, never mind.

Anyway, I think I'll need a  chainsaw to prune story back into a neat topiary at some point but at the moment I'm just glad to go along with the growth. Writing anything is better than nothing at all I tell myself. At least you can edit rubbish. I think....
