Things I find at work Pt. 2

All of these i found today and they are a nice mixed batch
so some kind on nut key, a hair clip (curiously found in the mens changing room - I always find really odd stuff in there), the obligatory chunk of metal and a shopping list '2 onions, 2 pop somethingies, rosemary sprigs, sage leaves and pear barley. How very middle class, 'do pass the pear barley dear, I need something to wash these rosemary sprigs down with', actually i really like the word 'sprigs', god knows what was to be made from the contents of this list... :D
towards the end of my shift one of my coworkers kids came in 'kirby'. He can be a little tyke at times but today he came and helped me clean windows (legend) and i gave him his own little bucket and spray to help me (hes 10 so is perfectly capable of doing a decent job). Afterwards we found an ink pad and some stamps.
This was the end result...

i do especially like the one with a picture of a worm that says 'smart' as i had no understanding that worms are animals renound for their intelligence.

all in all  a good day :D

The Curious Incident of the Toad and the Grow Bag

so im chilling on the sofa, posting stuff on facebook ect ect, when my brother comes flailing his arms and legs shouting 'there's a toad in the conservatory!!!!'
'heh- toad' i thought , i have never seen a real toad in the wild, they have always been misslabled frogs, so i sauntered out into the conservatory, and there it was, chilling in the tomato plants grow bags (my mum has a fetish for tomato plants and so from sept-nov we have infinite amounts of them to eat)
and here he is in all his glory , he puffed himself out a bit because that makes him terrifying :D
he is a fine specimin of the european toad (Bufo bufo) and has almost definately been eating the slugs in the conservatory ...(my mum shall be pleased) apparently, like hedgehogs they are not found in ireland as they never made the crossing before the land masses divided.

Thank you Simon the Toad, you have made my day :D
