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.

My garden has a penchant for trowels and I waste more time than enough
looking for them. I find the answer is to have several left in
strategic places in the garden but even then seem to spend a lot of time
trying to remember where I left them.


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.

Teenagers are good at doing things like that.
