A short thread about stuff. Clearing out the loft (still) and finding things. More things. Old stuff. Fresh stuff back in the day.
Important stuff. The stuff of memories.

A brown envelope in a red box tucked right into the eaves holds Rosie’s ‘just born’ tags. Born. 19:26, 27 years ago. The 'girl of..'.
I wonder at the writing on the pink tear off paper, carefully slotted it into the soft, pinkish bracelets. An arm and a leg.
I stick em in my cardi pocket to show her later.
‘Hey, look!’ I say. ‘Look what I found!’ 'Oh, yeah.' #Stuff

A short thread about an Uber driver who picked me up from the @PHMMcr exhibition tonight. [Can't get him out of my head.] 1.
There was a bit of confusion and we ended up with two extra Deaf passengers who were going in a kind of similar direction. 2.
The driver said that they weren’t allowed to pick up people without bookings, so they try and find a black cab or occasionally give the person a lift as 'a friend'. 3.
Well the exhibition is stunning. Superb work @PHMMcr and thank you @Aliswilde for thinking of the #JusticeforLB quilt. Close enough to see every detail.
