What Do You Collect?

I was quietly making Tiny some porridge yesterday when I realised I had a collection happening. Of spurtles. I just love me some spurtles. I've only got three, which is probably three more than you, dear reader, but I love them each - and they were each given to me by people I love. 

I even have a spurtle that has a groove in it - so when I am not stirring - it can hang out on the saucepan and not leave porridge sludge on the bench.

I have a deep and abiding love for spurtles. I love the name. I love making porridge with a good honest spurtle. I love spurtles. They are woodwork done good. Each an individual artwork unto themselves.

So 'fess up. What weird and wonderful do you collect? 

Would now be a good time to tell you I still have my wisdom teeth in a jar (I had them out over 12 years ago) - complete with sinew? It totally grosses the Doctor out. When would be a good time to toss them away?


No idea what a spurtle is? Read this.
