Metal and leather straight-back dresser trunk, c.1890. It converted from steamer trunk to dresser so the traveler was not required to unpack.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.
Saturday, 25th April 1981(?) I was almost eight. There was a bomb scare halfway through and we all had to get out.

Agree. It’s also my strongly held personal belief that “Good grief, it’s YOU!” In The Wrong Trousers is the best line of dialogue in any film.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
