Welcome to my two new followers, Jan and Sue h.
We've
lost two soup spoons out of a set of 6. We remember using them for
the accompaniments for the Indian meal on Tuesday, since then, no
sight. Our guests helped us wash and dry but we put things away.We
have hunted high and low, in every cupboard, drawer, nook and cranny.
Can we find them? Can we heck.
As
a last desperate attempt, hubby decided to check the bins as they
were due to be emptied. He duly got dressed, put some gloves on and
out he went into the cold, frosty morning. Said bin was pulled back
into our hedge archway (presumably so he couldn't be seen by some of
the neighbours/ or to keep out of the wind). Each of the few bags was ripped opened, searched and
tipped into a new bag.
Neighbour
came out in his pyjama's and dressing gown to put his bin out. A short explanation obviously
followed as he wheeled his bin round to our side and indicated we
check the rubbish again and put it all loose into his bin.
DB by now had almost crawled into our bin to get the bag at the very
bottom, so only his bottom and legs was visible. Our neighbour was
stood the other side of the bin so only his top was visible. They looked like two non-matching halves of the game Guess
Who, that we used to play with our DS. when he was small.
Our
neighbour stood around for a while offering support and moral, it
really was something like a scene with Compo and friend from 'Last of
the summer wine'. Eventually neighbour got too cold and went in, don't
blame him, it was -2 Celsius out there!
Did
DB find them? Did he heck.
That
just leaves the compost bin to search at a later date. If we don't
find them in there, they'll have to be replaced, even if they don't
match.
