We went away for the weekend, as my niece just got engaged and she was throwing an engagement party.
Before I go away, I like to have a good tidy, and clean the house, because I hate coming home to a tip. I vacuumed the living room as part of that clear round.
We stayed at my in-laws house. Himself lives there during the week, and (along with his brothers and sisters) has the unenviable task of sorting thru 70+ years of their lives.
One of the kids saw a game - Draughts - and asked if we could bring it home. Upon counting the wooden 'men' we found that one of them was missing, so the game was considered 'a scrapper' and put to one side.
When we got home, I walked into the living room and there was a wooden draughtsman in the middle of the carpet.
