What have you bought recently?

A 28cm Baccarat Stone Square Casserole With Lid for AU$59.99 ... so amazingly better than alternatives and so useful ... already have an original large red rectangular one as does my DIL after I gave her one ... it's become a staple in both households ... cooktop to oven no problem, no sticking, crisp and tasty baking. Will give her this one to as she is a far better and prolific baker than me LOL. Many a wonderful baked treat has ensued at her place.

Love those!
Are they heavy?
 
Wife wanted a home security system so she bought a EUFY 2c pro wireless system. Plus door bell camera & weather covers for the 3 out door cameras.

Being a DIY guy setting the WiFi system up to be accessed via our smart phone & thru Alexa took longer than I expected but finished it in a little over 3 hours.

We have this deal, she buys whatever she wants. I install it.

40V Battery powered lawn mower from Lowe's

I've had battery mowers......they're a lot quieter than gas.....no pull cord.....on the farm, just used it for trimming.......but......they are very heavy to push......not sure if you can get one with self driven front wheels, that would be great if you could.
When i moved to town......got the front yard mowed with it charged, but not much more.
The back yard is quite big.....kept me hoping to get it done before the battery died.
Also, i found if you were going through thick grass, you could hear the mower power slow down, a lot of battery power used up.
But, like i said, they're very heavy to push......a really good work out.
 
Home Depot just got in a load of different size clay pots for the season. nothing fancy but over the years I found my houseplants do better in them. I bought quite a few in different sizes and shapes. They go fast.
I will cut back, repot and start new plants.
Years ago I had a cactus collection, ferns and succulents.
I want to start a snake plant collection. When we travel I won't have to worry about watering them. I have 3 varieties already.
They are a bit hard to find. they usually sell the same ones.
 
Potting soil for my raised bed, box spring. Strawberries, fresh pacific caught wild halibut for dinner thanks to Costco and a salad mix. Dinner was yummy. We just pan fry the halibut. Hmm, cashews, cheese, and couple other things.

Husbands bed frame was delivered today plus two curtain rods. Bella’s new harness and leash will be delivered tomorrow, and Wednesday 2 puppy fences to finish the run. Spending money like I had some 😂.

Yes. Clay pots are best as they allow the soil to breath. Plastic pots are infamous for staying damp and perfect medium for gnats.(y)
 
Today was my first day shopping in stores other than supermarkets for the best part of a year... I went a little shopping mad...:D

Bought 3 blouses/tops ( one really pretty red floral linen tunic style).....from different stores... and a pair of baby pink slip on sketchers.. also a baby pink cardigan

Got my car valeted

Got a collapsible 10 litre Bucket.. , another box of disposable gloves, 2 pink melamine style water glasses...some fake flowers


Several other bits and bobs... a new mirror for the hall to replace the wooden framed one that's been there forever...

.. a tank fullof petrol..and £60 worth of groceries...
 
Like shoes, purse, dress changing the floor tile, vanity , wall paint, lighting all have to coordinate with the new shower tile.

So my wife picked out what she wants & I am now get to spend my time with more DIY bathroom renovation. All I have to do is make sure the floor is level, rewire the lighting, get new trim for the base, adjust the plumbing to the new vanity base. fill in the holes where stuff used to be sand & feather it to match the original wall, paint, then lay the tile, grout it & maybe just maybe the bathroom renovation will be complete.
