In our house it's usually OH who can't find things. My theory is that it's easier to ask me where it is than to look properly. I've taken to saying "it's where you left it". When I can't find something, it's usually because I've put it "away" somewhere instead of leaving it lying about.

Grr, the boiler service person isn't going to come today. They've re-booked for tomorrow. So how come in November when I first tried to book today was the first date they could give me 🤨

My wife regularly puts things 'somewhere safe' and then hasn't the faintest idea where that safe place is when she needs the item.
We had a good dusting of snow last night but it was really dry powdery stuff that blew into drifts by the morning leaving the roads and cars nice and clear.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
It’s happened again … yesterday evening I searched my box of knitting needles, and my knitting bag m, for a set of four 4mm double pointed knitting needles I thought I had …
I found the 3.25s I also needed but no 4mms …
… so today I drove into the city to Hobbycraft to buy some … and succumbed and bought some pretty eau de nil wool I knew @WonkyWomble would like …
… but you know what happened don’t you … I got home, picked up my knitting bag and out fell a set of four 4mm double pointed knitting needles … 🙄 🤣
As OH said, that’s why he has two rotary cutters … 😆
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm curmudgeonly because I drove to the Surgery this morning to pick up a registration letter from them so I can sign onto the NHS website and see my details - nope, despite my best endeavours and a new ID, it now won't let me video my face while I'm saying 4 numbers out loud! No idea why not. I think I've got all the permissions set up but who knows, it's getting a bit beyond me. The computer obviously thinks I'm a criminal trying to defraud the NHS.

Sometimes it's easier to knit with five DPNs rather than four, so you're good to go, with some spares.
