But I swear I did look in the right place and they weren't there until they suddenly reappeared yesterday. I blame gremlins.
At least I have never lost my glasses - I am so short-sighted that I put them on before I get out of bed, and only take them off to wash my face, until I get back into bed. They are polychromatic, so I don't need sun glasses.
This is not necessarily an age thing though - my sister has been losing things all her life. Before she had a mobile phone, she used to go into public telephone kiosks quite often to ring for a taxi (she doesn't drive). She has lost count of the number of items she has left there, or on buses - handbags (how can you forget your handbag?), umbrellas, bags of shopping......I used to tease her about it, but I think I will keep quiet in future.
The most frequently asked questions in most houses I know are : 1. where are my car keys and 2. where is the remote? My car key is on my house key ring which I have to use to lock the door of my flat, so I never lose it but the remotes (one TV, one digibox) sometimes inexplicably find their way under the setteee.
