Why, when you find something is it just after you actually needed the item?

Yesterday I wanted a birthday card and knew I had one suitable...somewhere.

Eventually my daughter, who lives here, came up with an alternative one, so I duly wrote that and set off to deliver it..... at social distance.

Later, the cards I knew I already had, just turned up, when I wasn't actually looking for them.

No, but you generally say, "Wow! I've been looking for that for ages"

That should cover most of the bases

Ah but Allan what if time you find it, you forget what you were looking for...would you know you'd found it...

The kitchen roll we use is industrial and we have it for months we didn’t panic buy it, in fact we didn’t panic buy anything :-)

The problem begins when somebody leaves it where you put it.

Oh don't! Before the lockdown I put certain things in a 'safe place'. Nothing valuable, just stuff that I wanted to be able to lay my hands on.

Now I cant remember where the safe place is. :-( :-(

A couple of days ago i found an old mobile phone pouch amongst some old newspapers, how did that get there? Today I said to hubby I would buy some mustard seeds to grow with cress seeds we already have and later opened the cutlery draw and there is a packet of mustard in there. It is only us two in the house and no one has visited us for a long time.
How scary is that.
