I have just spent over a week looking for my camera!!! It had some how climbed into the cutlery bag in Beryl the van!! how that happened is beyond me except I was convinced it was in the camper so obviously deep in my subconscious I remembered I'd put there for some unknown reason!!
These senior moments would be worrying if I could honestly attribute them to older years - but I can recall several different incidents throughout my life where things ended up in strange places. Aged about 20 I once lost some shoes for months to find them in a seldom used casserole dish in the kitchen (could be attributed to over indulgence of alcohol). Another time we found quite a lot of beer in the oven and once quite inexplicably (small wailing children I suspect) I cracked 3 eggs into a teapot before I realised I wanted a cup of tea 'with' rather than 'in' my omelette!!
I blame a creative mind - a busy life - gin and children!!! Nowadays what excuses I can come up with elude me, having knocked the alcohol more or less on the head, I've retired, and the children have long since left home, - perhaps I'm just not as good at multitasking as I think I am!
I used to live in quite a big house with my family, assorted friends, visitors and lodgers and if anything went missing or got lost really one just had to wait until it resurfaced and got washed up among the debris (could take months). The only other option was to tidy up and that could start a civil war - not always a good idea - this is a serious advantage of living with Dr Fred, in a tiny cottage - impossible to lose things in (except the odd camera, only took 10 days to reappear)) and he is ridiculously tidy which has rubbed off a bit on me!!
Interestingly though - odd socks do still disappear (or possibly even stranger - appear!) and scissors are never where they should be so proving that these particular items do have a life of there own as I and many others have suspected for a long time.
Incidentally odd socks are very fashionable these days - you can even buy them as odd pairs!!! another one of those ideas I should have capitalised on years ago!!!!

I quite enjoyed some of the comments, some of them made perfect sense....
In keeping with todays theme - a poem by my 7 yr old granddaughter
Odd socks odd socks
On your feet
Odd socks odd socks
In your drawer
Odd socks odd socks
On your bedroom floor
Odd socks odd socks
They look very funny
Odd socks odd socks
One with a lion and one with a bunny
Odd socks odd socks
On my familys feet....
