Hi Tim,

Well, you now have a puppy worth over £100, and/or a wife who now knows what to get you at the next holiday. It does suck. My parents lost an *old* Navajo blanket the same way, before they clued in and put the treasures out of reach of little teethers.

If you're desperate, maybe we can take up a collection to replace your treasures.

Hi Jim,

I've seen that circle cross symbol cut into the sides of Chinese daos, and I'm waiting for Gav to come up with a reference. I think they're an allusion to the "Coin swords" used as feng shui talismans (swords made out of old coins and red cord, to drive away whatever-it-is).

Best,

F
