I've been doing laundry all weekend... The sun shone for long enough to dry sheets and towels outdoors, and they smell like the tree that's flowering nearby. Everything else is drying on racks inside while the hail and rain crashes down. What's up with this weird weather? Will spring ever come?
In laundry pockets:
Two army men
A chocolate wrapper
Two paperclips
A sharpener
A felt pen that's had its nib bashed in
One Trinidad Dollar
£3.26
Chas' missing keys
A memory stick
Several napkins
A nut (the edible kind)
Some matches
Sand
Interesting rocks
A hair tie
Spring always brings interesting pocket finds, doesn't it?
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

Ah, you found missing keys!
I've found candy wrappers, rocks, lego pieces and a pencil.
Little boys love rocks... because they rock!
I found keys too! Although I would not have minded if they had stayed lost. In handbag pockets today:
Keys to the office (misplaced two weeks ago).
5 wet wipes (from All Out Sports Bar).
Stub of a lip liner to remember to buy exact shade.
Jade stone for inspiration.
Torn up bank deposit envelope.
Yogi Tea Tag which says: Grace brings contentment.
Have a good week Nan!

So glad it was an "edible kind". And those Army guys - they're shooting Enfields, right?
Good question Lou!
