And more again
Sunday: Seanan's Mum collected us and drove us to the most enourmous fleamarket (bigger than the biggest car-boot sale I've ever been to!) where we sepent some cosniderable time wandering form stall to stall, bargain hunting. Tom foudn the boots he'd been looking for and looked at old coins, Seanan bought a sand filled snake, a Bryer horse to replacce one of her lost childhood ones and a tray of huge strawberries. I bought some white-embroidered hankies and a table runner to make into dolls clothes some cheap-tat bracelets to remake into costume and doll jewelry and I'm not sure what Seanan's Mum bought, but there was a lot of it and it included lots of Bryer horses (the packrat gene runs strong in that family).
After that we went to a supermarket for lunch then drove out to Danville (land of posh and snooty, apparently) where we discovered that signs to garage sales give false addresses (non existent ones) and that doll-collectors shops randomly decide to not open the day we go to see them.
We spent some time in the ordinary toyshop necxt door then drove back to the Concord area for a tour of various shops, most of which stocked DVD's in search of season one of NCIS for Seanan. We have been Bad. We introduced Seanan to NCIS, which she hadn't watched before, and Abby and Gibs have caught her attention. We have now come to the conclusion that this was all part of a huge plot to frustrate Seanan. The reason being that, she would like to watch a fer of the season one episodes to see if she likes the series. Alex's copy is mysteryously AWOL from the house, and nowhere we have looked has season one in stock. Tom and I have even looked in the big stores, like Virgin Megastore, in the city and random Raspiutins we happened across, with no luck. I believe other people Seanan has mentioned NCIS to by 'phone have also checked their local outlets and had no luck.
