A while back I was getting ready to leave for work. Wallet, phone, cash in pocket . . . car keys?? Had them a minute before, where had I put them??
Started looking around the flat. Stranger and stranger, no sign anywhere. Wandered into the bathroom just in case I'd left them there. There was a medicine cabinet with a mirror front about the wash-basin. Looking back at me is my reflection, with car keys dangling by their leather fob between my teeth. Don't tell anyone, OK? |

The other day, I noticed a bit of cover strip coming off one of the kitchen cupboards. I knew that I had some super glue in the shed, so set off to get it. I got to the shed and noticed on unfastening the hasp and staple that they were a bit tight, so I thought that I would grind a bit off the staple so that it would fit better. After a bit of searching, I found the grinder but it was too far away from the power point, so I started to look for the extension lead. When I found it, I noticed that the cord grip was loose on the plug, so I started to look for my electrical screwdriver. After about five minutes of searching, I asked her indoors if she had seen it. It seems that she had borrowed it to get into the storage box on her sewing machine as the catch had been sticking. I eased the catch by rubbing a bit of plastic off the edge and applying a bit of silicone lubricant. I used the newly found electrical screwdriver to refix the cord grip on the extension lead. I plugged in the extension lead and plugged in the grinder, ground off the corner of metal that had been making the catch stick. By this time, I was getting a bit dry, so locked up the shed and thought that I would make a cuppa. When I got to the kitchen, I went to the cupboard to get the teabags and guess what I noticed?

My excuse for avoiding housework is that "I'm going out for exercise", so I have been planning (avoiding) clearing some accumulated papers and junk. Woke last night to remember a box of ageing DIY magazines in a box in the loft and decided, today they go. Got up in the loft earlier, finally negotiated all the other boxes of junk, to find that, sometime in the past, I got rid of that box of old magazines.
