I was packing my work bag this morning and found a whole packet of custard creams in a side pocket. What a great unexpected treat!

What's been your favourite surprise?
 
One of my personal favourites of late involved my testicles, ky jelly and a lovely lady.

Some time after she had had her way with both items, i received a letter in the post from her clinic congratulating me on having only a minor cyst in those regions and not terminal cancer as i had convinced myself it most certainly was.

A lovely surprise tbh.

Went for mine today but had a big hairy doctor……..
 
Had a girlfriend that died very suddenly a few years back and I dealt with the funeral and the estate because she didn’t really have any immediate family to speak of, and any she had were in Glasgow.

She had three kids (with two different dads) all fairly young who I have stayed in touch with. They all went to live with their respective dads after she died.

When it came to dividing things up once the estate was settled, I couldn’t find her her rings which were part of her jewellery.

Engagement ring, wedding ring etc which I was going to divide amongst the three kids. This would have been about 2019. I knew they had been in the house but couldn’t say when I’d last seen it all. If they’d been lifted, it could have been any my one of a number of people such was the timeframe and as such finger pointing wasn’t going to achieve anything. Was absolutely devastated and felt very guilty, although it should be said the two dads were fine.

Then, last summer, after a couple of house moves I was having a barbecue at mine, and my sister in law needed a safety pin and so I went through some suits that I hadn’t worn for a very long time to try and locate one, knowing how they are routinely used by dry cleaners.

And in there were the rings, plus my wedding ring (which I hadn’t worn for a decade). I must have put them all in there one night, when hammered, for safe keeping, and completely forgot about it! I’d actually checked all the suits when I’d turned the house upside down but they were in one of those tiny inside pockets that I must have missed.

I’ll never forget the feeling of realisation as I felt my way through the pocket, followed by the confirmation when I pulled them out - as well as the feeling of complete joy that I could hand over the rings to each of her kids.

How much did you get for them?
 
When I was a kid, my mate and I were at Guide Bridge watching the trains. (There was something to watch back then.) We were absolutely broke; we just had our bus fares back from Denton to Belle Vue. Anyway, we set off walking to Denton, and for some reason, I started rooting about in my pockets. I found 2/6! (12.5 p modern money.)

It was like winning the lottery! We adjourned to the chippy and bought a bag of chips each and a big bottle of lemonade that we supped between us. Then we went home, having caught the bus to Denton to save our little legs.

To this day, I do not know where that 2/6 came from—maybe it was a gift from God. I do know it made two young boys very happy—the joy of simple things. I suppose the equivalent now would be finding £50 and going out to lunch as a treat.

Just before Christmas I was looking through some old clothes that had been in vacuum sealed bags in the attic for nearly 10 years. There was a pair of jeans in there that were decent, tried them on and not only did they still fit I found 3 pills in the pocket.

Still kept their gurning magic in them?

a tough time, pal.
the conversations you'd had with her about your own lifespan prior to it happening,
and your devastation upon finding her.
xxx

and i wasn't much help.
the love of my life had just fucked off and left me behind to go and work for the u.n.




still here though, aren't we.









































edit:
better add an unexpected treat...

when i was very young my grandfather gave me an empty jamjar and instructions to fill it with caterpillars that were eating the veg he was growing in his garden.
upon returning it to him full he rewarded me with cash,
gave me the still full jamjar back,
told me to empty it in the nearby field so as not to kill them
and to then again set about refilling it.

naturally i didn't empty it,
just dossed about for a bit and returned it to him with the same contents for an extra payment.

that wasn't the unexpected treat though...
by this time the light was fading.
in the next house to his resided a lass i fancied.
her bedroom was at the back.
she had turned on her light and got changed into her pyjamas.
the first pair of tiddies i ever saw.

Oh, that reminds me of a neighbour when I was kid who used to undress with the light on and the curtains open. I used to ogle her all the time. She was about 19, I was about11. Not thought about that in 60 years.
