Nice day yesterday, sky was mostly blue, sun was mostly out, very mild for this time of the year! 

Was train and tram into Nottingham, visit with my son, catch up and back to town... Had a wander around, crazy busy! Mayhem was already ensueing! 

I am talking into my phone again to write my blog, it just seems easier as long as I keep an eye on what is being sent out on here and not miss heard by Google. Lols it wrote 'herd' Oh dear!! 

So I am now pottering around and moving things around until things find their home, which made me laugh when just telling a friend, because I have been moving around for 66 years and I'm still not sure where I'm supposed to be! Well, that's not strictly true, I did feel home, as soon as my feet touched the tarmac August 3rd 1988, en suelo español. And yes, that's still where I am with that. But where I am supposed to be? Is that a different thing?

I found a little plastic tub that I'd obviously filled up with items as I left home, I thought it only had thread and needles in there mostly, but it seems I had placed other odd items in there... It's very annoying today talking my Blog..  as I speak it doesn't understand the difference between they're there and their! See Y eso me ha dicho and in Spanish! That means 'and that's what he told me!' Not sure who 'he' is, and it's not what I said!

And so inside my little plastic box, I found my collection of Costa Coffee badges that I had collected from the Costa Coffee in Aylesbury!

I bet if I walked into Costa anywhere now wearing them no one working there would even remember them! Mostly not even born then! 

Also in there which expectedly would be quite a few buttons, I have a huge collection of buttons in a button tin, have I mentioned that before? They belonged to me my mom, my grandmother and my great-grandmother at least! 

I keep meaning to take them all and get them to my daughter-in-law, she will make much better use of them than I ever have.

There was also Pippa's first collar which was a bit sad to see, and the smallest tiniest little silver pot with a mother of pearl lid and a black elephant on the top, I was fairly buoyant, fairly happy just going through these things, then I opened the pot and the world stopped, did anyone else notice? Did anyone fall off the planet when gravity ceased to exist? No!?! Just me then, it has a very small amount of Franco's hair inside. 

Is our family weird collecting hair? I have mourning jewelry with hair, dating back generations. My mom's baby hair, my own, my boys... 

I think it's time for me to get back to my movie I started watching, and paused about half an hour ago it's a horror film I'm watching, needed a break from Christmas movies, chick flicks, and or any other movies that can be a bit sad this time of the year.

I wonder if the only way this world will work is if we learn to coexist with the past as well as the future
