Superstition . .

Well, I did not actually spill the salt per se; I picked it up and the bottom plug just fell out! Poor old thing. the pair were a wedding present ,so being over 49 years old doesn't owe me anything.
I will probably pick a little and throw over my shoulder when clearing it up -  but then might have to re sweep the floor, so perhaps not!!
It is amazing how many superstitions abound, not that I really have any belief in them... but do remember them!
