How. Very. Random.

I was cleaning the sink and noticed there was something rattling about in the sink plughole. On closer inspection I found it was a coin. Which is an odd thing to have in the plughole of your sink anyway, but this one was a strange colour - kind of yellowish - and had twelve corners.
Taking it out, I found it was a threepenny piece. From 1944.
This coin is the same age as my mum. How on earth did it end up in our sink?

Date: 2006-03-17 11:19 am (UTC)I found it at some point when I had the washing machine out. How it got into the space originally, I don't know.
And, being me... Throw it out? Pah! So it's been kicking around on the windowsill for ages.
Sorry to be so mundane. Feel free to delete this comment, and go back to more fantastic options :)
