And Then There Was Three
…or….
…how to empty the pockets and wallets of record collectors in Dunedin for a third week running…
…Step 1 :- condense records left over from last week…(place excess, if any, in crates under tables)…
…Step 2 :- fill gaps in between older crates with 10 freshly prepared crates…(mmm…fresh crates)…
…Step 3 :- let the record collectors know that they need to be up bright and early and at the doors of Restore, 7 Gordon Street, Dunedin Central at 10a.m. or they might be able afford groceries this week…
…Step 4 :- reassure the record collectors that there only are 3 (maybe 4)…(maybe 5) more weeks of 10 crate drops to endure…
…Step 5 :- avoid record collectors immediate families and employers for all of time.
Accumulation Drop The Second
…Restore, 7 Gordon Street, Dunedin Central…10a.m. sharp…
…10 more crates have been added to the accumulation…
…a sample….
…and another sample…..
…worked all day at the coal face…
…packed 10 crates into the car…
…processed 12 crates….
…dug 10 crates out from under the work bench in the garage…
…pile seems to be the same size…
….lots of empty crates at Restore….
…more of the same (but different) next week.
Set The Accumulation Free Day
…had a more sedate start than I was expecting….
…polite browsing on a Sunday morning seemed to be the order of the day…
…this guy was first thru the (back) door a couple of minutes early and was rewarded for his precociousness….
…this week we’ll tighten “security”…
….another early visitor with a large pile of goodies….
…look at that satisfied grin….
…and I that’s about it for the photos…
…I didn’t take any of the car “low-riding” with 20 crates on board…
…or get any vid’ of folk fossicking…
….maybe I’ll be more organised this Sunday the 11th of July when we drop the next 10 to 15 crates….
…hopefully it will be another goodie for Restore, 7 Gordon St. Dunedin Central…
…(heard we broke their daily turn over record on “opening day” and can’t wait to hear how they did during the week)…
…see you Sunday…
…bring your big wallet.
…(if you just got here, scroll down for photos, vid’ footage and an explanation of the accumulation).
…(did I mention the 10 to 15 fresh crates?).
Ladies And Gentlemen Start Your Engines
…. 20 crates (count ’em) of the record accumulation I’m currently processing will drop on the 4th of July, 2021, at Restore, 7 Gordon Street, Dunedin Central…
…here’s a random crate…
…ah, crap….let me try that again….
….the stack of 70 crates featured in last week’s post now sits at 72 with more to come from inside the house….
…we’ll be adding more crates to Restore’s stock every week for some time to come…
…something in there for almost everyone…
…with…so…much…more…to…come….
…see you Sunday, 11a.m…..
…er…
… and every subsequent Sunday…
…until it’s all done.
Bali Hai May Call You
…any night…any day…
….in your heart , you’ll hear it call you….
….come away, come away….
…bali haiiiiiiiiiiii……
…(tourist clicks from the US…best motel ever….ever….Indonesian tourist oil….reduced to $4 at a local charity shop….R&H….fuck yeah….)
Central Otago Scene
…Central’ has for many years been the play ground for retired amateur oil painters…
…the charity shops up there are awash with these….
…(the octopus is a recent phenomenon)….
Puss-Puss Cometh
…trying new things…
…playing with paint….
…and junk shop art….
…trying to figure out how many octopi are too many octopi…
…current conclusion is…
…there s not such thing as too many octopi.
No I Have Not Read It
…found this at the Tip Shop the other day…
… the content doesn’t live up to the marvellous cover though… within a few paragraphs it became apparent that it was written by someone whose grasp of science fiction was not that which is possessed by fungus crazed, smock wearing, alternative reality mongering, bald, green, zombies from some long lost episode of Star Trek (original series)….
…shame really… it’s even got a flying lizard on it.
Bored with a record shop.
