Good morning tooters. It is not a cold morning, nor was it a cold night & was nearly 13c when I got up & will reach 17c today. Lots of rain overnight & sounding quite heavy at times. More rain is forecast during today as well.
I’m still going to Yarrawonga today but the person who was going with me has changed. The friend who was coming rang to say she’s unwell, slept badly & didn’t feel she could cope with the drive which a shame as we were both looking for a day out & to catching up. Anyway I’m sitting here with my coffee & trying to decide what I should do with my day instead & another friend rang. I told her what had happened & she said that if I wanted to still go she’d come with me. Took me round about 10 seconds to say yes 😄. So a slight pivot but still a day out. Also means I need to get moving shortly. Should be a good day out despite the rain.
Wishing everyone a lovely #Wednesday hope there’s sunshine 🌞 for you 🌻. #Weather #RoadTrip #DayOut #OpShopping.
One thing I love about #opshopping or #thrifting is that it lets me think outside of the box when it comes to dressing my son. I found this women’s jumper covered in cats and immediately snapped it up. It fits him perfectly and actually looks super cool. 😍

One of the unbroken truths of crate digging in Australia is that you will always find at least one Kamahl record.

In the southern states you're going to find a lot of Nana Mouskouri but Kamahl is undefeated as the king of all op shop vinyl crates.

So much so that David has started to collect them in his regular op shop crate digging missions. And we've (only half jokingly?) talked about doing an EP of tracks only made from Kamahl samples.
