August 2018 Acquisitions

[p.b]

I thought he was working his way through the list and, having reached the end, opened up public sales again? That’s what I read his blog post to indicate anyway. ?

It was a very oblique blog. He gave up on the list. I’m a bit peeved about it but there are other things more important.

Congrats mate!

Guilty! Thank you for your friendly words, my friend.

I picked up this vintage Simpsons which was looking pretty tired and required some TLC

I do like the way it had aged but parts of the handle looked grubby

I petted it in the fields, I ate its meat, and now I have its hide. Just not sure where to put it, as it’s currently a bit crowded around here...

Dragons Blood is a great scent, I tried a sample and it irritated my face. Not had that with many soaps

Shame. Always annoying when you get a soap you like but it doesn't like you. Had a few like that. Did you only get irritation with Dragons Blood or was it Reef Points soaps, generally?

It was just the Dragons Blood. Not sure what ingredient caused it. I had a full tub of Aviator at one point and had no issues with that, apart from not being 100% sold on the scent.

My father had a farm and that was my carpet when I was a child. I loved his touch on the feet
