A Sunday Surprise

Once in a while the universe works synchronistically to bring together two plans..
One was to catch up with an old friend that I once shared a warehouse with in the 90's, and the second was to go to a garage sale on last weekend. I had seen a flyer on King Street last Friday for a 'Toys For Boys' sale in Petersham and promised Kaspar that we would check it out on Sunday (if he was a good boy beforehand, of course).
It's not too often that he isn't and after some persisting we set off down the line mid Sunday morning.
A few days before all this I had been thinking of catching up with my friend Jessie and family, after she finally returned me a phone contact on Facebook a little while back. It had been a year or so since I last had an address for them so was thinking of dropping in soon.
Anyway as we turned into the address on the flyer who is manning the garage stall but Jessie and her sons. The last time we had seen them was up the road from where they used to live in Stanmore at, also a garage sale. This time it was their turn to return to the world selections of J & J's playtime objects that they had grown out of. This is more a Kaspar post as I didn't pick up anything for myself, as the 'Boys Toys' were not quite my genre, but he did score for $20 (mine not his) two bag loads of Lego with lots of Star Wars and medieval bits, a dozen pint-sized cars, the latest Herbie movie and a Star Wars plastic retractable light sabre.
A morning well spent.. thanks J & J & J (and lets catch up soon..)
