Losing your favourite secuteurs is the pits, but unless your wife takes
them shopping with her they are likely to be somewhere in the garden.

Somewhere in my garden is my pruning saw and the remote key for my car.
Despite exhaustive searches over a long period (and I know where I was
last using the saw) I have found neither. Gardens swallow things for
ever.

Otoh, when spreading he last lot of compost from the bottom of the bin,
I did find my breadknife. I suspect a teenager left it in a pizza box.
