Making sure that they don’t look like something Lonnie might eat.

(Everything looks like something Lonnie might eat, including tractor tyres. Basil hisses at him.)

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

When OMCB left the island to move into her new home she was unable, because they were forbidden on the plane, to take with her my father’s ashes, which were in rather a nice heavy pot with a stopper and which she was keeping so that eventually the two of them could be scattered together . So she left them with me and eventually they came with us to Norfolk, on the ferry, in our trusty motor home. Before giving the ashes to us she put the pot in a canvas bag and we put the bag in a cardboard box which we then stored here in an unused cupboard.

We will be visiting her later this week and she has asked us to take the ashes with us.

So. This afternoon TFD opened the cupboard and lifted out the box. The bottom fell out of the box and the canvas bag, pot and ashes fell with it. The stopper came out of the pot and the canvas bag fell open.

Most of the ashes were still in the pot.

TFD said he’d deal with it and to go and make a cup of tea. So I did. Gratefully.

Don’t anyone tell OMCB that I distinctly heard the vacuum cleaner.

I’m ashamed to say that it gave me a fit of the giggles. Well, a bit ashamed, I’m pretty sure Poor Old Dad would have been amused by the whole thing himself.

Mine certainly would have been (although not cremated himself)
