D has just returned from a walking visit to the optometrists ¼ mile away with a king-size polyester duvet he found on the street.

'George' ASDA brand. Brand new. Still in its wrapper.

Must have fallen out of a car.

If that's anywhere near Watlington in the Chilterns, it might be the one stolen from JBB by red kites a few years back!

Nice little ride down to the bleach.

Beach?

No, bleach!

Admittedly I had spied this little hoard the day before, and vehicular retrieval might look a bit 'suspect'.  So on with the bags, and a bicycular retrieval was the order of the day. I left all the jars of sauces, cheese spread etc, as I didn't now how long they had been in the sun, but bleach, doesn't go 'off'.   ;)   

ps crisps and oxo dated march 21.

I confess, this was not on a ride, but we were in a rather large shopping center yesterday, just out side John Lewis, and on the tiled floor, I thought....hmm...what’s that then......Ooooo! It’s a £10 note. No one in front or behind, so I picks it up, then 3 steps further on, there is another one  :o, but this one was actually standing  on its edge  ??? So £20........squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
