An odd phenomenon

Wasn't an insult, thatbags, it was a joke both times as some people recognised. Thanks to those who did.
Yes, I am envious, as I do not have a husband any more to wear the cufflinks he had before he died. He always used to take a double cuff shirt to weddings, but never wore it as he could not manage to do up his cuff links and would not be helped.
Happy now?

Durhamjen I regularly say and write things that I think are funny and others go po faced on me !! I am sure we would have a good laugh together.

It's good that even though you are sadly on your own you haven't lost your sense of humour. Keep them coming.

DH has a fair few pairs of cufflinks including a beautiful antique pair that belonged to his father. Does he wear them - does he heck as like!! He insists on short sleeved shirts every time

Not posh enough, kitty...

Horses for courses, isn't it?Short sleeved shirts, or open necked long sleeved shirts are more comfortable for men, especially when they are relaxing, I can think of nothing worse than having to wear a tie, and cufflinks look a bit de trop in the supermarket.However, I do like men to make an effort and dress up a bit [if I have had to, then so should he.]

My hairdryer and hairstyler live together happily in the same box; a bit TOO happily because they are always entwined, even when I have wound up the cords/flexes properly. I am always expecting to see a mini hair straightener or something as a result of this constant union.

Can I slightly change the subject? I have clothes that hide, I know I have that pair of trousers or that jumper, but when I look where it should be, it's gone. But when I'm looking some thing else - there it is on its hanger as bold as brass!

I thought it was only my clothes that go AWOL like that. So annoying.

Two pairs of jogging pants are currently in hiding somewhere in my bedroom. A nuisance because I like to slip them on when I get up.

I have this problem, too. It mainly affects one black top. It's in the wardrobe when I'm looking for another black top, but when I want it..........

My washing machine is an ended-portal for some parallel galaxy. In that other galaxy there is a housewife who puts in 2 socks and gets three out
But yesterday she also received a free pillow case.

I once found two socks in our hedge, they had obviously done a runner and got stuck. On my morning walk I noticed an odd black sock at the end of my neighbours drive. That too is obviously doing a runner. If it isn't there tomorrow I will know it has got further in its travels.

I confess I have yet to see a pillowcase, but next time you see some odd garment lying in the road or on a pavement. It hasn't been dropped or thrown away. It is on the run.

That might explain why when I unroll the ball of socks from the drawer, I find it isn't a pair after all. I think they must be disguising themselves before doing a runner.

I use they tiny bags that come with spare buttons on a new jumper, I put a chain or pendant into one of these and then into my jewellery box so they are all individually wrapped and I can see whats in each bag

How I wish I were that well organised, Seilverfish. But where do you put the buttons?

Sorry - Silverfish

I put the buttons in my button box. I know the younger generation does not know what a button box is but my granny and my mother all had them. You just have a biscuit tin and stow all your spare buttons so that if you've lost one it saves you buying a whole set. I also cut off buttons from a cardi that is past it and save a whole set of buttons. Buttons are also a good rainy day pastime for slightly older kids (past the stage of putting stuff into their mouths) and they play with them quite happily.
By the way Im the least organised person ever. Im off now to wash last nights dishes and iron last weeks clothes.

I found a skimpy pair of black nylon knicks in my back garden the other day. I don't know what they were on the run from, but as they were torn and chewed the mind boggles.

On the other hand, the fox family along the road have a penchant for old shoes and gloves, so maybe they are branching out ( latest shots of them )

Aka I LOVE your Saturday post!

Maybe our wardrobe is the other end of a portal too Aka? Pair of cream linen trousers currently winging their way to Alpha Centauri? Might be sent back at Christmas when totally inappropriate for the weather.

Lovely photography, Elegran. The cubs all have such different markings, don't they.

Thanks Anno They are all little individual characters. They squabble a lot, but they also show really affectionate behaviour too. The biggest is beginning to look just like Dad, who is a fine handsome chap.

Bout 10 mins ago I thought about another unexplained phenomenon which I was going to post up - then I found it has just gone from my memory, this is very annoying.

A missing from about!

Where do all those fugitive thoughts go to? Is there a Lost Think Tank somewhere surrounded by confused people fishing around for inspiration?
Another unexplained phenomenon.
