A weird little story

When my Granddad passed away around thirty years ago, I was given his War service medal. I kept it in the top drawer of a small metal cabinet. My last memory of it was when I dropped it and it went rolling across my garage floor, never to be seen again. I looked for it many times and even had a final thorough look on the day we moved away from the house but to no avail.

Last night, I watched the Antiques Roadshow with that man and his collection of war medals and I went to bed and dreamt that I looked at the back of the top drawer of the cabinet and found it caught up.

So today, there I was down in the cellar and I decided to do just that, I pulled the drawer right out and there it was, stuck at the back.

A little help from your friends 'on the other side' me thinks, dongle.

Good job you took heed and didn't ignore it.

Mmmm, this issue here LD, is why you were watching The Antiques Roadshow in the first place. Have you not got any hobbies, or books to read!??

I don't know really. I actually find it a bit depressing because it always reminds me of having to get ready for school on Monday. I hated that. The only thing I can think of is Fiona Bruce..
