Shiver Me Timbers, A Jack Of All Trades (Trade 37)
OK OK I know I know, it's been a while... But I now have a trade to report so here I am!
I spent the weekend before last in Amsterdam, which happens to be the scene of Trade 19.
And I saw a lot of oranje landlubbers...

I also met up with Lav, a Dutch canal pirate who be eyeing my trading booty for quite a while now...

Lav took me along on a long long voyage around the canals of Amsterdam. At some point I was pretty sure we were lost and would have to take a taxi back or something. Maybe a canal taxi. All in all obviously quite an alarming time for me...
But also the perfect time to work out a trade!
So I produced the little green guy and asked Lav what she'd like to offer me for a trade, and she produced...
One squirty orca!
Deal or no deal?
Well if it was just an orca I might have backed off, and fallen into the canal, but this was a squirty orca and therefore a trade-up offering...
So we had a deal!
And we did the trade...

And then, before you could say "c'mon matey sup up yer salty dog, ye be drinking like a landlubber! yarrr" Lav had named her little green guy...
Captain Jack Smiley O'Green
And then Captain Jack appeared on twitter and even started his own photo blog!
So who wants to trade me something for the squirty orca? details soon...
