Race against disaster
Today I went to the Collecta-bool Fair. Do you see what they did there? They combined 'collectable' with 'Warrnambool'. Someone had a thinking cap on that day. Anyway, it's a day for people to show their collections. There was a man with military medal ribbons, a woman with swap cards, someone with Mickey Mouse stuff and people with butter churns and irons and coloured bottles. And thimbles and oil cans and VW beetles, oh my.
I had some of the swap cards on display when I was little, so that was fun, but I think my favourite display belonged to the guy who collected old film posters. There was one for a film called The Haunted and the Hunted that advised DO NOT SEE THIS ALONE, OR IF YOU HAVE A WEAK HEART! Also that it was filmed with a process known as Dementia 13, so it must be good. The best tagline on one of these posters was: He called himself 'The Preacher'... and he wrote his sermons in lead. This was written above a picture of a man holding a rifle, just in case anyone thought he was using a pencil.
Then I took the tulip bulbs out of the vegetable crisper and planted them, and pulled up the tomato bushes. Busy day.
