OUT WITH THE OLD

Unlike today, which is a complete snow blizzard and white-out [and schools are shut! yay!], last Sunday could almost have been Spring.

Despite being cold the sun was shining and Blue and me actually went in the garden.

One job was to sort out some old stuff brought down from the attic.

I love this 70's hot plate for a coffee pot but it if we are ever to downsize lots of of the stuff we once bought from car boots in the 90's will have to go.

As its missing its coffee pot its sadly destined for the trash.

The future of this Brick Game is uncertain. If it works it may go on the 'We'll do a Car boot Sale in Summer" pile. Did you have a Brick game?

Not so this, our first ever scanner, an old flatbed from the 90's.

and this bit of an old plastic stacker would double up nicely as a UFO style launch pad!

Some stuff is more useful and an Ebay corner has formed in the house. Pino looks worried!

As is always the way, as some stuff goes some new stuff arrives. I just can't resist buying vintage toys in charity shops and I picked up this bag-full of die cast and plastic for a few pence the other day.

I think the white robot-like Police Motorbike is a Gobots Night Ranger and maybe the blue copter next to it is Gobots too. No idea about the green ball hot rod or the beetle with wheels. You?

These three Barbies came home with me too. Ever since my toy fair stall days I've loved identifying Barbie and Sindy dolls, clothes and accessories. Do you?

It really was a nice Sunday and great to be in the garden again after 6 months!

A bit too cold still for old Blue boy though!
