Yesterday morning Chewbacca went missing.
It was one of those classic moments where the Missus moved some of my stuff in the front room and Chewwy vanished.
The Chewwy in question was a tiny plastic game piece from the Sarlacc Pit game 1983, which I picked up at the local boot sale a week ago, together with a Luke and two Gamorrean Guards.
I actually heard myself saying 'Why did you move my stuff?' like a fifteen year old!
The Missus was inevitably defensive and reposted with 'I needed to get to my own stuff!'
An hour later, the front room turned over, my need for Chewbacca's return ludicrously real, the wookie emerged from a bag of Matchbox track it had fallen into, in the hall!
In the end my Missus had nothing to do with it. I'd moved the Matchbox track bag! I was suitably humble when I said said sorry to the Missus for accusing her!
Does this sound familiar readers?
very much so. its usually electrical goodies like cables or chargers. I plug something in, charge it, walk away and come back and cable has gone awol. I got told off this morning for leaving the Ninentendo Switch on the mantlepiece after playing Animal Crossing last night. Also the dogs have a habit of stealing my specs if I leave them around too!

ReplyDeleteI wonder what your dog's do with your specs Bill? Ha ha
DeleteThis is why you should never, ever, have a tidy up. It takes forever to find anything again.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, the stuff I've misplaced... My first thought is enemies have broken into the house again, but 9 out of 10 times, the answer is my old memory-addled brain, and its somewhere I left it in one of my fugue states! SFZ
