car boot extravaganza.....

so today me and mum had the joys of chucking out selling some junk of our unwanted possessions at Castletownroche car boot sale. Fun times were had by all...


best sale of the day was a toss up between a wickless candle and a broken plastic tree to a woman who couldn't read ... for 2 shiny euyoyos ... dont ask .... i was getting us coffee when mum made the sale, not sure how conversation got to literacy, maybe mum tried to flog her a book togo with the candle?...


 My artful sale of an old pair of my  size 9 school shoes to a size 7 woman for a euro ( yes they were for her) also was one to remember ....also I unintentionally attempted to hustle encourage a woman to purchase a dutch book mum had just picked out of the jeep, incidentally she didn't understand what I was saying because she was Dutch.


Major LOLS :-D ....what are the chances...


Anyways, i made buckets of dosh and saw some really cool crap, not that the olsens are cool or nothing.

It was also really sunny( by Irish standards) 



And there was yummy cake.

So to celebrate my natural reaction was to make some cakes, my favorite salmon cakes....

Recipie
