Lesley's Loot

It’s a poppy with a theme.

Everyone makes shopping list but on occasion I come across the to-do-list; this ones no exception and was found outside the school gates. I’m imagining the disco they’re referring to is the kids end of term one.

This was found abandoned at a bus station. It’s still got the price tag on too.   

This furry octopus shaped find is a mood changing toy it appears; one side happy and on the upside down sad face. Extra useful for any child suffering from mental health issues. I’m in a grump. I’m not going to throw a tantrum etc.    

Jennie doesn't need to say anything as her badge does it for her. This reminds me when catching a bus or visiting the super market; just two random selections in my everyday. For example when you entre a bus there stuck on the drivers door a notice announcing ‘welcome Aboard’ so there’s no need for that odd grumpy old bus driver to even open their mouths in recognition that he has passengers boarding his service, apologies for those smiling faced ones.

This was found totally by accident just on the edge of a curb and not long since Remembrance Sunday. These pin on badges are prone to coming loose and so getting lost. The old fashioned paper and plastic version, that is still sold to this day and put together by disabled war veterans but always falling off as they’re pinned onto your clothes using just a single pin. However there are so many different sorts these days from metal to knitted ones even white versions for conscientious objectors during war time.

It’s coming up to Christmas and on the school gates is a tree decoration. Perhaps bought in to either go towards decorating the school tree or perhaps to used for the morning’s show and tell session; either way I returned it and so was gone the next day unlike last years one which was never claimed so I kept it!

These were found in the middle of the shopping precinct. As it’s now coming up towards Christmas they've no doubt been bought to decorate an office, as they're just a neutral colour.
