Tea Cosy update

My tea cosy met with a rather surreal fate last Friday night. James O'Loughlin was MCing and doing a fine job. Most items were raffled with a signed rugby jersey and my tea cosy left out for auction. Somehow in the noise and confusion, James decided to auction them TOGETHER. Go figure. So, someone paid $800 for the jersey and got a bonus tea cosy (which James wore on his head for the duration of the auction). (Or maybe they paid $800 for the tea cosy and got a bonus jersey). The jersey winner's wife was very pleased with the cosy and refused to sell it to several people who offered reasonable sums thereafter. She put it on her head too. Several people were most put out by the process as they would happily have bid on the cosy on its own but had no interest whatsoever in the jersey.

Aah the drama and delight of a good school fundraiser.
