Word of the day - Extravagant

Weatherwise it was poor today. 'Chilly for June' some would say and they would be right. Thirty - odd customers in the shop. That's the number not an observation on personalities. I always enjoy meeting the people from upstairs. This week they're from Edinburgh. Last week the family was from Prestwick. Who will be lodging in the flat next week I wonder. Did you know that a journal of residents recommendations and moans is kept. Seemingly, one ex-resident complained that there was no tea cosy! They should try a winter campervan holiday in NZ!

To-day's good news is that Bertiegirl sold a purse (there's irony there somewhere) and the gloriously extravagant Ms Tessa Mendez sold a couple of silk cards, what else! How wonderful it must be to have a name like Tessa Mendez. It sounds, well, 'gloriously extravagant'.

I had Art Pepper with me today. Had to turn down the volume tho' when Art was in his full improvisational element. I'm aware that it doesn't appeal to all.

The car's goin' well after last week's mechanical extravagance.

Oops. Where is that decimal point again? Maybe we could share a can of iron bru instead?
