Trouble in the Fields


Maybe I have too much time on my hands (not true) but I started wondering what people have on their keyrings. Mrs Weasel has a sporran. This to me indicates her wholehearted adoption of the country we live in. I have a John Deere Tractor. I think it indicates I want a John Deere Tractor. I did consider getting a John Deer cap, just like the one Seasick Steve has, but I don't live in Missiispiispsipspi and I don't drink Miller or own a plantation.

What do you have on your keyring? Does it have a story?

While you are thinking about that, here is a little song, by Nanci Griffith, quite relevant to mine. It's a song that is relevant to today and it always makes me cry.

I've got a LED torch on mine.

We had the same front door for twenty years, I could come home in pitch darkness, drunk as a Foulkes and pin that yale, every time.

A new front door is bought.

One quiz night later(Won, prize a bottle of malt split between four of us)

After half an hour(perhaps more?) of scrabbling, the door opens upon a very angry spouse.

Purchase of LED keyring torch the next day.
