Extra Items for some

Milk arrived for me slightly later than usual, on a warm but blustery morning, I was disappointed to see that Toastboy was absent from the front seat,I attempted to go in the back seat,but then decided not to as it might have made Milk feel uncomfortable.

On arrival at the booty Milk made a purchase within the first two minutes,I think this may a record.
I purchased a rusty 7/8th socket and swivel bar for a bargain price of 50p and the usual bag of spuds.

Milk had a craw sticking moment when he attempted to purchase Dan Dare annuals for the sum of £1 each from a slightly dim stall holder,but was stopped by the dim stall holders bespectacled and bearded colleague who scuppered the purchase by raising the price to £5 each.
Milk related this unfortunate tale to me, and then instructed me in Fagin type manner, to go to the stall and try to procure the above mentioned items for the max price of £1 and bypass the now "I hate that speccy bearded "bas.... " "
I found myself skulking behind a clothing rack,watching the stall, but this money grabbing stall holder was on duty at the side of the stall where the books were and I just could not get the opportunity to make the purchase.

On arrival at the Tesco eatery we were confronted by a slow moving queue, Milk picked up a tray which had not been cleaned,I could see the look of disgust on his face,we made our choices and sat down to eat, I immediately used the butter melting technique, but did not have the right timing and slight clarification occured,Milk commented on how dry my selection looked,I then noticed that I did not choose the beans option.I think Milk scored and received a total of 9 items,somehow I always seem to miss out on this beneficial errors.
I went to the pet shop and purchased half a ton of bird seed which Milk kindly carried to the car which was parked some distance away,and he then informed me,in a low and breathless wheezy voice ,that the dull headache he had earlier had gone, and it was now a pounding headache. I hope this kind turn did not have any lasting effect,but he can be safe in the knowledge that there are fat contented birds flying around Evanton.
A very good morning 9/10.

I believe the sore head may have initially been caused by you making me look at the glaring reflection of the sun on the Cromarty Firth.
