I was litterpicking a shop/cafe car park last month and made a gem of a find, real junk jewellery. 15 x 10mm. I hope whoever lost it wasn't too upset. Then I was litterpicking in the woods yesterday and I found another purple gemstone. 35 x 20mm. If I was superstitious I'd probably believe the universe was sending me a message, but what? Wear more purple? Oscar the Grouchy trash god loves me? Crossstitch a bejewelled icon of St Tobermory of Wimbledon? And will these puns get me condemned to eternal dalmatian?

I received a solstice present from one of my pet garden moles, who turned up a small piece of willow pattern tableware showing one of the blue birds - except the transferware was smudged so it has four feet and looks like a winged dachshund - and the tops of two small broken medicine bottles, all from the mid 19th century. For the twelfth day of xmas a mystery true love gave to me, in the front garden, one piece of broken 20th century white glass cookware showing an eight-pointed star of yellow leaves.
