Earring redux

[desperance]

Not a false alarm, but an unexpected happy outcome: the lost ear-stud has been discovered, on Bryan Talbot's bathroom floor. The butterfly-clip from the back is missing, but hey. That I am sure can be replaced.

Thanks for all your concerns and suggestions: not needed after all, but not wasted either. You made me feel warm, in a chilly time.

It's odd; I was thinking about you this morning, while I was out delivering the first round of leaflets this morning, and wondering whether there was any hope of finding the lost earring. It's good to come home and find that this happened. Butterfly clips can always be replaced.

I am *so* pleased.

But maybe my idea would work for an anniversary? An extra hole in memoriam?

I've been thinking the same thing. I'd already half-steered myself towards looking for a new pair we'd both have liked; no urgency, but - well, it's twenty-five years since he died, so anniversaries are in the air. I may not unsteer myself.

Excellent news!

YAY! I was hoping it might turn up. YAY! *hugs*!

Oh thank goodness for that!

It's years since I saw Bryan. When I lived in Lancaster we used to be quite good friends.

Pleased to hear it. I was hoping it would turn up, but reluctant to raise hopes by saying so.

Butterfly clips can be replaced fairly readily, although I'd advise testing any replacement to make sure that it fits the post on yours properly. Enough people lose the clips that some jewellers stock little packets of replacements.

And I'm with fjm on getting another pair for you both anyway. Putting the other half of a new pair on Andy's grave was something I thought of after making my initial post; I came back to add it, and found that I'd been beaten to it. So that's at least two of us who came up with the idea independently yesterday -- it seems a good one.
