Foxfire

Depending on who you believe, the largest, or second or third largest, diamond found in North America. Found at the Diavik Mine in the NWT - I've searched, I can find no larger finds in North America.

187.7 Carats.

  • Prospecting,

The School of Life

I've been but I didn't make any notes. Not these notes, they actually describe me pretty well. Clearly I've got some work to do...

Ralphie

And Ralphie's in, with his child bride, 20 some years old, he's my age, trying to impress us, I'm not impressed, good-luck-buddy- easy to catch, hard to hold... 

They have a kid, a year old or less, in a bassinet sat upon the table, I think about it, my life, starting again at 50, I have 2 already, no-way...

But Ralphie's putting a good face on it, doesn't know better, thinks he's impressing us.

They leave, tip well, cleaning up the table in the linen I find his phone.

He calls. He'll come and pick it up. "Not to worry" I assure him, "I''ll drop it off", he only lives a few blocks away. And I try to talk the nephew into dropping it off, he's done, it's polite, but the nephew will have none of it, he's got plans after work, he's busy, I excuse myself for 5 minutes, drive up, drop off Ralphies phone. He answers the door in his housecoat, bottle of Grey Goose in a little generic Xmas wrapping, this is his thank you, I decline but he urges me to take it, "It's only liquor", and I return to the restaurant with the trophy to show the nephew what an ass he was, a large return on a small effort...

  • Vodka,

More Mudlarking

As winter is settled in and attempts at prospecting have failed (still too much snow, and it falls, still it falls) I fall upon YouTube to deliver me it's treasures.

Thank you Nicola White. Makes me want to return to London, if only to stroll the Thames...
