no I couldnt think of anything else catchier! Anyway after aeons of non blogging here I am again. I must start this time with a little word about a great eBayer I dealt with recently and who`s just starting out- I bought a new phone off him and it was really a good deal. I only wanted something cheap and cheerful to phone mates in Australia with and when it came the next morning (less than 20 hours after bidding) it was much better than I thought - I put the card in the back and got straight through to Melbourne. Why can`t air travel be this easy! Anyway do go and check out eBayer "madeeasycompanies" and give them a go - cos I rate them a lot!

Not bidding on anything at the moment - there is a pot lid and base I like but not done anything about it yet! And I am looking out for some sports gear cos one of my body armours needs changing before it falls apart and so I am after a good deal from someone who hasnt also worn it to destruction!

If you read my blogs many thanx. Keep on reading. And one day I might find out how to reply to you. But I always go and read your blogs if you leave me a message, and check out your me pages too. They`re GR8...

Thats it for now from the barefooted-surfer - but, just like Arnie, I`ll be back

this title is not the most interesting way to start a blog... must think of something more catchy (plus I will soon run out of fingers to count on) 

anyway hi to you all and many thanks for all your comments - I did try to reply to a couple of you but nothing happened - is my machine faulty or am i doing it wrong... if you know what i should be doing I will give it a go! I did read all your "me" pages, and your blog logs - i learned a load about feathers and birds in the process so many thanks to douganpunk3 - if he is a regular reader can I ask what happens if a parakeets head feathers all get plucked out by another bird - would they grow back once the plucker gets put in another cage ? One of my mates has this problem - or, actually, one of his parakeets does...

gotta go now - after the lovely sunny bank holiday we had (yeah, right)  i have blown down fences to mend and plants to repair from rain damage

hope you all had a great bank holiday and that some of you saw the sunshine

blog to you soon

from the barefooted-surfer

been ages since I blogged on - have been competing and practising so no time to eBay though I have bid on a few bits and watched loads of others (only to fall asleep and miss the closing time!)

weather here awful but it is May so summer must be on its way - after all we had six weeks of no rain which made the ground into rock and I fell whilst practising (self and equipment undamaged).  Mind you I remember being on holiday in July when I was a nipper and we had snow plus the kind of winds which blows tents out of the ground and into the next door field....

Gotta go but hope to blog more regularly now - or did I say that last time....?

well thanks to everyone that has replied to my first ever blog - and best wishes with your blogging! I have changed the picture but apart from that havent done much - I just bought a DVD from Greece where it is probably as sunny as it is here today - it is the film White Mischief which is one of my faves. Will let you know about it when it comes. I buy lots of DVDs and music, as well as odd stuff. Have recently been after a cold cream pot to keep my skin cream in, but I dont know anything about them as far as rarity so I usually bid a little bit and then by the time I pop back and check up it is enormously expensive and I look like a dill for only bidding a tiny amount! So apologies to anyone whose cream pot I have under valued...

More when I am next online

happy blogging to you all!

Ok now I see I did it all wrong! This is where I shoulda put the info that didnt fit a second ago - will do better next week!

Well hi and welcome to my blog - I never hadda blog before so this should be fun and will hopefully give you a look at my world on a weekly basis - lots about what I just bought (or didnt) and some about my competing etc.

I also have a me page so do check that out too
