An excellent vintage....

Wednesday 8th March
Day 445

I know, it must be the drugs!

Or... how not to lose my keys...

It is a pre-decimal coinage three penny bit for those who don't recognise it :)

My Gran used to put these into our Christmas pudding... in Australia! And, I'm a bit partial to a 1960's vintage myself.

Yup. We used to get one of these in infant school for our birthday. Or am I much younger than that and thinking of someone else?
JW08-Mar-2006 21:57
I once tried to balance a number of these on top of each other after reading there was a world record in Guinness book of records! DOn't think I got anywhere near though!

1961? Hmmmmmm Must be the year you were born.
Guest 08-Mar-2006 13:26
Does the year itself hold special meaning for you as well? ;) There are other things that affect losing your keys too, you know---like leaving a friend in the car who then leaves the car and locks them in the car...

Excellent composition and focus.
Do you agree, Lee, decimal system is much easier?
