Why post a self portrait?

Who's posted a self portrait on this thread?

I think grannylynn65 means the picture of the lady enjoying the hammock?

Thought woodmouse49 was looking good for 70?

Ambre I bought it on Amazon. Just enter Retro Turntable. Just looked & it’s on for £83.29. (I-box Walters Timeless Collection)

My other best buy were a couple of luxurious Lilysilk silk pillowcases. So good, I bought some for my DDs for Christmas. Supposed to be good for your face (wrinkles!) and hair. Still waiting to see the difference but it’s early days.... ?

A Panasonic bread maker. OH likes fresh bread so this cuts down trips to the shops.

Mollygo

Thermal underwear from M&S - they look like thin jumpers but are so effective. An electric egg boiler/poacher. I could never guarantee good poached eggs, but Eggs Benedict with bacon, ham or smoked salmon and Eggs Florentine are regularly on the menu now.

Mollygo. Aren’t you so glad you’ve got these to wear now!. I have some from last year. They feel so lovely against your skin and they keep you so warm.
I don’t have an electric egg boiler/poacher but I’m thinking.......

Airpods, I mostly listen to comedy podcasts, often laughing out loud in shops, cant imagine what other shoppers must think.

Mini Nest. Only cost under £20 and plays any music I want just for the asking.

We did the garden over and we installed a slate monolith and water feature. They were so lovely and the guy was great to deal with I ended up buying my DH a matching wine rack for Christmas. I keep looking on the website to see what else he sells so I can ring him and listen to his lovely welsh accent. ?
