Day 276 - Treasures

Mr 16 is sorting through stuff in drawers in preparation for the move to a new desk. Some treasures you never throw out - even if they are useless. I still have a red Santa tin which I used to use to surprise myself when I was very young. Life was sometimes unspectacular, so I would hide something in the tin, then put it away and not open it for a year. The idea was that I would forget what was in the tin, so it was exciting to open it up and see what was inside. Sad? Maybe. But I prefer to think that I was resourceful. I invented delayed gratification for myself.

Day 59 - Down the sink

How many things have you lost down the plughole in the sink? I've lost a gold cross and chain as a child. I was too scared to own up, and didn't realise it could have been retrieved.
When I think of how many items of jewellery and other things I've lost in my lifetime... Wouldn't it be amazing to discover a box with all these missing things? I sometimes dream of finding 'treasure' boxes.
