Couldn't find it anywhere and satisfied myself by reckoning that I'd find it when the alarm went off.

I often tuck my hankie inside the waistband of my running tights, I mean doesn't everyone?! Got a tea bag out of box to make a brew. Put kettle on, got mug out of cupboard then couldn't find tea bag. Yup, you've guessed it ... it was tucked in my waistband 🤦‍♀️ I don't tuck a hankie there but I do recall going to blow my nose on a teabag in the past! 🤣

In WW2, evacuees were given a list of things they had to take with them and six handkerchiefs were on that list. When I work with school children at the National Memorial Arboretum, very few know what a handkerchief is! That really me feel my age 😂😂).

This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
