Ms Spanner is getting fractious because I’ve not expressed any desire for a birthday prezzie.
Probably about £250.00 max, maybe a bit more if it’s something she likes.
She did buy me a lampshade* once though when I said ‘just get me anything’, so probably best if I specify something.
Watches? I’ve got a G-Shock and a cheap Casio – no desire for any others.
Bikes? Could do with a crank, cassette & chain for the tourer, but it’s a bit boring.
A new road/cx frame would be great – anything reasonably priced knocking about?
Needs to be comfy, cheap & geared. Everything else is negotiable.
S/H Cross Check?
Photography? Don’t want anything just now.
HiFi? – Been offered a new pair of Monitor Audio RS1’s (old stock) for £299, very tempted.
Shooting? Want a new air rifle, but she won’t buy me one because she doesn’t believe I’ll stick to target shooting and won’t go hunting ickle bunny wabbits with it.
To be fair, she’s right.
She’s offered to buy me a desktop computer, but I like arsing about wih flight sims and I don’t think £300 will get me anything that’ll handle that, so I’ll probably pass.
Would be fine if I could put some money towards, but it doesn’t feel like a prezzie that way.
Guitars?
You know, a Squire Jazzmaster, Yamaha acoustic or a secondhand Gordon-Smith might just fit the bill.
But I don’t use the one I’ve got enough to justify it.
So, it’s looking like LEGO again unless anyone can come up with something better?
Ta in advance.
*Darling, it’s a lovely lampshade and looks fantastic on the upstairs landing. Yes, I know it’s handmade. Yes, it really suits the house. I’ll put tea on, shall I?
