The Oldest Swinger in Town

There are many reasons why I love to go to the Charity shops
you never know what you will find, it could be a damn fine pair of shoes, a squeal worthy bag,
or vinyl LP's that are happiness

I couldn't bring this home

number 7
tickled me no end

but I labelled it 'inappropriate' darn it!

however I brought Dennis home with me, he has a handsome, luxurious moustache, dimples and a hot denim shirt,  there is wonderful commentary about Mr Weavers character on the back  'Dennis Weaver is the type of man I like to hang around', I liked that
and his song
'Make Love to Life'
I'm not sure how to, but I think it's right to get all hot and bothered about things you like
could be tea-towels, bird watching, poetry
I think passion and love for things we are passionate about and love is always good
I have the greatest passion and love for music (bowls and tea-towels) any, as long as I like it
I once went to see 'Madame Butterfly' at The Lowry' with Mr Foxy
in the cheap seats,  it was magnificent
the ending, which is beyond sad, had me be trying my best to control myself, it didn't work
I cry and it's ugly, snotty and snorting
no regal sniffles from me, couldn't be posh if I tried!



Chazza jumper, £2, I am rather smitten with the lace detail, very Victorian
its 2 sizes smaller than me,  I try and take no notice of sizings when in Chazza's
however I pushed it a little too far when I saw a coat of dreams, and it was! it had a tufty HUGE faux fur collar, belted, tweed skirted coat and for a brief deluded moment I thought 'yes!'
Missy threw it on while I was misty and mesmerised, 
and it fitted her, deluded indeed!



Success at the chazza's! we kind of had instant karma, as we dropped a bag of at Oxfam
we then we got a haul of goodies, party dress for Missy £1, 2 cutsey jumpers for Little Miss-ette for about £6, 1 was the softest angora hooded jumper with pom-poms, too sweet

another was a book, Alan Carr's biography, Mr Foxy thought it would be good for my first day at work as we are allowed to read in between calls.
At no point did I think this was a problem
Alan Carr is hilarious, funny and caused me at several points to snort

and then compose myself, and snort again
He described puberty as a time were most boys were blessed  overnight by the puberty fairy with chiseled chins and hairy chests, he was given moobs and the voice of a pensioner
funny, funny man

I hope you are all having a marvellous day
I hope whatever you are doing, you are having some fun
see you soon, you gorgeous lot

  2. Oh my ... I've never heard of Dennis Weaver before ... but I'm pretty sure I need to make his acquaintance ... such an impressive moustache.
    Sounds like you bagged some fabulous bargains ... love the jumper ... shame about the coat ... you win some you lose some.
    xx
    P.S. Glad you didn't buy the swinger ... he looks kind of disturbing ;0)

  3. Charity shop vinyl is the stuff of life! You genuinely never know what you'll find - although 'The Oldest Swinger in Town' makes me shudder! That Dennis Weaver LP is RARE! It's $25 - $50 on Amazon at the moment!

  4. Let's all singalong now, to Tits and Bums! That's my kinda tune! The Oldest Swinger in Town was shite though, wasn't it? I had no idea Dennis Weaver sang as well as being an actor (wasn't he in Duel?)
    Yes, being ludicrously excited and pleased about the stuff you love is great. Tears and snot at the opera, vintage vinyl, charity-shopped clothes, snorting at Alan Carr - these are All Good Things. The ability to be happy with what you have is a gift. Let's all be like Dennis, and Make Love to Life! xxxxx

    1. do you know, I didn't know he was an actor! Mr Foxy thought it's why I bought it and I have seen Duel! *oh shame* Make Love to Life indeed, might make a badge of it !! x x

  5. God, I remember The Oldest Swinger In Town! Can you believe someone's had that album in their record collection for thirty years? I wonder why they suddenly decided to get rid of it?
    You look fab in your lace jumper and I love the family snap, too. Alan Carr only has to open his mouth to make me laugh. xxx

    1. Alan Carr is too funny, the book is a guffaw fest! I get curious about where the LP's come from too although I got one recently which had an address on the back and is about 5 mins from where we live x x

  6. Ha! I can pretend to be posh but it only last for, say, five minutes. I loved Dennis Weaver in Duel. I thought it was the scariest movie I had ever seen when it came out. Glad you had a great treasure hunt.

    1. Duel is a proper scary film! I have a weird 'posh' voice when I'm annoyed, it is eye-meltingly awful x x
