Ah, I don’t wish to mislead you Jonathan – it isn’t terribly exciting. It’s just a piece of Persian decorative art which has particular resonance. It is sadly not the remains of a tattered pink feather boa, complete with mysterious stain, from a splendidly decadent night out on the town with my aunts. Or something like that.

I am amazed no-one has yet demanded that you expand on ‘the excellent present my Aunts gave me for my eighteenth birthday’. Surely if ever an enigmatic sentence demanded to be fleshed out into a fully-grown post this is it!

Thanks for stopping by Keith. Hope you’re having a good weekend – with good, unpanicked dreams to go with it.

Nice to see that someone else is nostalgic Ill Man. I could never, ever let the photos go and neither could my Mum. I don’t know what else you would get, everything else is replaceable isn’t it? Years ago someone broke into our house and nicked a pile of stuff, including my camera – which I could get over, but not the loss of the almost full roll of film that was inside it. Bastards.

There’s so much stuff in my folks house that I’d hate to see disappear. The sewing machine my mum got for Christmas as a child is in there somewhere, as are screeds of photos that remind me of better times. Not sure my folks would save them first, but if I was about, we could work as a team. I could get the nostalgia, my dad could get the collaterol & mum would wait outside for the Fire Brigade :)

I have all sorts of dream that will put me in a panic about something I should probably be doing.

Have a great weekend.

yeah people talking about their dreams is always dull take heed martin Luther king…
Not sure I’d bother saving anything it is all just stuff after all, the loss of pictures would be shame but my brothers will have some copies and many of my digi ones are on flickr probably just grab a bottle of malt and watch the lot burn down once every one is out.

Hmmm, this wasn’t meant to be couch-trip type post. I’m not stressed, I’m not going to Australia and I rarely have dreams like this, let alone share them. It’s just Christmas time you know. But thanks for your concern!

I hate that – dreams that linger into daylight. It’s never the nice ones is it?

Are you stressed, Cocktails? I hate those gather ye rosebuds while ye may dreams, they’re awfully unsettling, but they do spur you into action.

Gosh,what an unpleasant dream. You due a trip home, Cocktails? I think your subconscious is trying to tell you something.

I’ve got all my photo albums where I could (maybe) get to them easily, but on reflection I ought to put those shoeboxes full of letters in a more accessible place. It would break my heart if they went up in smoke.
