Magpie!

I'm following in Ember's footsteps this year and getting rid of one thing every day....so far so good.

Magazines from the year dot...one LBD too many and it had to go...
...how many handbags can I genuinely think are necessary for the different occasions in my life? some have to go!

Ohh! yes, I could go on and bore you even more...until you tutted at the lunacy of the collector, and her wilful ways...

But!

There are still areas of the house that I can't bear to consider as they are my worthless but magpie collections.

Forgive!

Not much of monetary value...just memories of Ireland ...children and grandchildren.

So

I'll just go and dig around in another drawer for a while...
...there's bound to be suitable throwing out or passing on materials in it!

Magpie Tales Mag 94

A prompt from Magpie Tales for this week....

......The Lunch



School Lunches.

There was always a room set aside for our lunches.
We sat in the desks and we opened our boxes.
Mine was predictable ever so boring...
Her’s was always really exciting.
Her mother made savoury “rice mould” with mayo.
While mine only gave me ham sandwich…
With mustard.

I longed to share her lunch and
Sidled closer to her seat.
I made some small remarks at
Just how good it looked to eat.

But she sat placid and ate her way through it.
And I was left sitting with nothing to do but
Eat the ham sandwich with the mustard to taste
And long for a mum with less money to waste.
For the truth of the matter is now plain to see
There was rice for that girl but roast ham for me.

Yet I Ionged to share her lunch
Slid ever closer to her tin.
And made some little comments
On the rice grains on her chin!

She never weakened!

So many thanks for Magpie Tales this week ...it brought back old school memories and made a bit of sense of how envious I was!
