Went out for a walk this afternoon, visited the nearest Sue Ryder charity shop. One of the volunteers there shouted across to he colleague: "I love the scarf this lady's wearing!" and went on to tell me it was beautiful
The way back to my room is mostly along Stafford Road which is an urban dual carriageway. Anyway I noticed a shiny something on the ground and picked it up. It was a small metal disk about 17 mm in diameter and about 1.5 mm thick (I measured it with an IKEA paper tape measure when I got back to my room). Being a bit of a magpie I dropped it in my handbag. Then a few metres further on I spotted another. And for the next five or six hundred metres I kept seeing them in various sizes and shapes but all clearly related. Sometimes singly, sometimes not for fifty metres or so, and sometimes half a dozen in a square metre. I didn't pick up all those I saw and I'm sure I didn't see all of them so they are pretty common there.
