I seem to be materially-minded

skyringI was smiled upon today - at one of my favorite opshops, I found a Folio edition of Rumpole for five bucks. No slipcase, and no other similar books, but I'm not knocking back a Folio!
As it happened, I didn't have five dollars on me, so I had to sweat off the the shopping centre and get some money out, ten packets of Special-K and a couple of audio books from the library.
By the time I got back, the book was still there. Whew! I'm surprised it hadn't been spotted within moments of it hitting the shelf.
Probably worth (say) $25, but it's the thrill of finding a bargain that lights up my eyes.
The Special-K is for the competition. I'm pursuing an optimum course to get as many entries in as possible before they start drawing prizes. One prize a day for 50 days and all entries stay in the pool. Mind you, I've got dozens of packets of cereal to get through in the year before their shelf-life expires.
Audio books for the trip up to Sydney to see the A380 arrive on Sunday.
