p&t?     They are actually a very useful pair of gloves.A pair of track mitts from decathalon, slipped over a pair of Primark thin fleece gloves  (2 pairs / £4 IIRC) . They work very well , as they are layered , and I can delayer as I choose.

Its not a used condom! its a perfectly useable roll of blue insulating tape, and I've already used some of it.

Do you know?  I was thinking only yesterday, "Blimey, Bloders hasn't found anything for ages.  Hope he's OK".
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

It's winter gloves season.  As in, the roads are littered with the things (though rarely in pairs).  There must be a lot of people going around with one cold hand.

A Brie.
About 8" diameter, in a box. We'd already decided to pack but Mr Smith didn't hear me when I asked "Is that your cheese?" and by the time I'd clarified, we were a long way past it.
He only really likes cheddar, anyways.

In fairness, we didn't have anywhere to stow it. Except the obvious, and I wasn't hungry. In fact, I was feeling quite sick at  the time :(.

Similarly, a used condom I rode on.

Cycling along, as I do, and spotted this box, upon further investigation,...........................

Didn't look to be anything of any value, but called 101 just in case. and 20 minutes later, PC  came out , and said very interested in it at the moment, as they are '' actively persueing enquires, relevant to related incidents in the locality ''  I didn't hang around after he turned up, as I'd chilled off a tad too much by then, and was cold.
