One of my pottery figures has disappeared
I’ve only just noticed.
8 benign faces watched me eat my breakfast this morning before counselling
There should have been nine. I searched the kitchen, behind the radiator , in the cushions
On the floor
And….nothing
It’s a mystery for sure
The wind is up and both cats are lying on the couch when the dogs are at Trendy Carol’s.
The garden has dried in the wind, and the honeysuckle around the front door has bloomed fully over just one day.
The “ Winifred” Rose ( bought for me after Queen Sãlote Tupou died) has finally flowered too , showing great sweet smelling blooms the colour of custard tinged with raspberry. The rose was planted just under six years ago but has never properly flowered until now
Just sitting and day dreaming about nothing
My hands folded in my lap like Auntie Gladys used to hold hers.
A mystery indeed. I have my suspects and they all have fur and paws! The Winifred rose is beautiful and I'm so glad it's fragranced. What's the point of a rose without scent? It does seem to be a good year for roses. Mine have flowered well too. xx
ReplyDeleteIf it was a furry accident then there would be pieces of it or a whole figure on the floor.
ReplyDeleteOnly a dog would be able to get it in it's mouth and take it into the garden.
Or....perhaps a visitor knocked it off and took it home to mend it.
Or.....you have been so stressed that you put it in the cupboard or fridge in a moment of distraction.
The again you may have a ghost in the cottage. 😱
I would search the house again and then search the garden.
It certainly is a mystery. 😃

And you just thought they were inanimate objects. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat's interesting is it appears to be the middle one (?). Gotta love a mystery especially in a historic cottage in Wales!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe penalty of old age is that the extent of one's grasp of/knowledge about one's surroundings narrows down. Things vanish (and appear - for me a large box of expensive and delicious chocolates) without one realizing what has happened. A bummer but live with it. Roderick
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a good mystery? But that honeysuckle! How beautiful and lush is that!
