There was a pool of drool after opening the sample bag on Thursday to see what items were going to be in the count
... but not including any of that in todays ritual deflowering of the Sports Mix Bag
18 and counting 5 hours to opening the bag.

Just over an hour and 15 minutes to the ritual opening of the "Maynards Sports Mix" bag, Mrs BC is sterilising the scissors as I type....
Preparing the work area ready for the delicate operation.
Time for a few more gummy estimators to get their estimates in
