How quickly the mind forgets.

We have been shifting things around in the kitchen over the last few weeks and among the jars of aged spices, 500 trays and cobwebs I found my wedding ring.

(It isn't actually the one shown but it IS a R*E*G*A*R*D ring)

It wasn't really lost but has spent the last six or seven years sitting on the banana hook on the side of the cupboard. Every six months or so I put it on again but within a few days the dermatitis flares again and so back it goes.

CK handed it to me with a look of mild disdain (He is one who apologises if he ever has to remove his ring. Creep.) and so I slid it onto my third finger.

That was two weeks ago. It was only yesterday morning as I chatted to Baby Will's mother that I noticed how she was wearing her rings.

On her left hand.

I silently swapped mine across.

  1. Hahaha! You're a funny girl! I have that problem with some rings. It seems to be subdued a bit if I take them off at night. I guess the ol' skin wants a little air. ;-)

  2. Ha ha ha - you kill me!

    I had an inspiration last night and have asked Mr Moog to get my engagement and eternity rings repaired for my Christmas present. Seven years ago I lost a stone out of my eternity ring and four years ago the diamond dropped out of my engagement ring - onto my lap, I'm glad to say.

    My engagement ring had been 'safely' stored in a shot glass at the back of a shelf in the kitchen and the eternity ring took a bit of hunting this morning but I eventually found it amid a jumble of old silver earrings and bracelets in a dusty seagrass basket.

    Just think how blinged up we'll be next time we meet up!!
