You mean the rubbish dump?

See? This is why I love the tip shop. I check their Facebook page every morning to see what's come in.
The Le Creuset set was posted this morning. One has lost his little hat, but no matter as they're asking $100. Yes.

If today were any other day I'd be out there in a shot. But today is the day before tomorrow. And tomorrow I'm off to Melbum for four days. Sans l'enfants. C'est vrai. Sans l'enfants. And sans husbandido. So I'll keep that $100 for Melbum.

But really. I'm tempted. Should I dash out there? And have fewer glasses of wine while in Melbum? Or have only half a haircut? Just eat dumplings all weekend? (Actually, I could easily do that.)

Here are some other recent things from Tiny's Green Shed.

I was too late for the vase on the right. There'll more though, I'm sure.

And these are just the things that I find appealing. There would be something for you. Fosho.

I just hope I'm not breaking some Canberran code by relaying this information.  Although most people give me very strange looks when I voice my enthusiasm for the tip shop. (I have no doubt that ASIO is monitoring this.)

Canberra, like all places, I know, has its own particular cultural etiquette. Here are some words that I can't be bothered stringing into coherent sentences because I shouldn't be blogging, I should be doing other things:

public service
small country town
weather
hyper self-consciousness due to those words above these words you're reading right now

(wow lack of punctuation is quite liberating isn't it look forward to some angry poetry soon)

Praps you could make some sentences for me.

See you in Melbum!

Yippee kay ay! I haven't been to Melbum for a looong time but any where is exciting when you are all by your onesy! The pots are a quandary but if you love them, maybe you should just do it and work the card in the 'bum.

I'd pick up the red vase for MMMC and not be able to part with it and those Blue cups for the AGM that might still happen -one day...

Oh Annie, always thinking of others first. That's why God loves her and makes her special.

Save your mula for Melbum. You don't need those pots. (Can you believe I said that??)

Great tip shop though. If only they sold groceries and you could visit everyday under the ruse you were getting another lettuce.

Should we organise an AGM of like mindedness?

Wow, I'd grab those pots. Of course I've never been to Melbum so what do I know???

tiny's green shed is the best. I went there on a visit to canberra and I'm so jealous. I wish there was one near me!
