Yesterday I went looking for my button collection and couldn't find it anywhere. Trouble is I took them out of the little jars they had been in for decades, and put them into some other container, and now I cannot remember what or where, and I need to find replacement coat buttons for my winter jacket - the middle one of three has disappeared. Isn't it funny how you come across small stashed items when you do not need them, but come that occasional time when you do - they have hidden themselves in another dimension...
This getting old business can be a right pain in the arse.
I did though find a pair of bone earrings an old friend made for me years ago, and decided I really must wear them again - despite the fact they are really long and probably inappropriate for this septuagenarian. They were made by Jono Randell, he was one of the carvers of the rock art at Taupo that has become such a popular tourist attraction. One of the group whose names are rarely mentioned in all the publicity material, despite the enormous dedication and skills they put into making one man's dream a reality. Jono was a really lovely man, he and his wife Vicky helped me survive new widowhood, I will always be grateful for that kindness.
