igenlodeI have been starting on the gargantuan task of emptying out the contents of my flower-pots and putting the compost back into its bags to store over winter (plus a certain proportion of roots that will presumably break down to restore some organic matter), while attempting to check for bulbs and evacuate all the worms that are still resident. I'm not sure that the volume of earth that is going to remain outside all the winter is actually sufficient for the volume of wormflesh that is going to have to reside in it -- although presumably worms also go dormant as there can't be that much for them to eat.
A mysterious cherry stone came out of one of the pots that I definitely didn't put in there, which goes some way to explain the appearance of a young plum (?or cherry) tree a few years back!
And I located a missing leather glove which had gone suddenly absent between arrival at my front door (for surely I could not have walked home with one glove missing and not noticed it?) and hanging up my coat. It had fallen or been dropped into the inside of my umbrella, exactly as had happened to my fountain pen on a previous occasion... which I fortunately remembered.
Clearly that umbrella is a menace, since it doesn't fold completely and thus offers a bottomless pit into which items can vanish when they slip from your fingers while the handle is hanging over your arm :-p
