When Fester's Away

Just returned from the charity shops of Byker: trousers for Thunderthighs, 2 tops for me and an egg slicer £8.74.
Fey  Is this what you get up to when Fester goes away then?
Bentonbag  It's a sybaritic life of unbridled hedonism
Fey  All that and a decent night's sleep... live the dream.
Mr Mull  Gosh you go to expensive shops. 
Our charity shop on Mull (Island Castaways) would do you 50p for children's clothing, £2 for men’s/women’s clothing and egg slicer 50p, but perhaps yours was designer labels?
Bentonbag  Sadly Thunderthighs is big adult size (44w31leg).  One top was £1.50 and the other £3.25 so it averages out to much the same.  And you have to pay for quality in Byker.  Egg slicer was 50p though

Just back from a walk with Ferretfingers from South Gosforth to Heaton via Jesmond Dene, Armstrong Park and Heaton Park.
Very pleasant not to encounter any runners or joggers: they're all off doing the Great North Run.
Not many cyclists either.
Stepped to one side to allow child cyclist to pass safely and he immediately swerved into a nettle patch.
