I forgot that last time I used it, the zip on the weedy bag it was in
broke, and I had been organized enough to order a better bag for it!


Funny isn't it, how we get used to something being a certain way and
then don't recognise any changes.

I wonder how many of us have accidentally called our second wife by
the name of the first? (And you could imagine all the times when that
could be *really* bad / awkward). ;-)

And as you say, in the workshop, even though I may not have used
something for a fair while can't really remember since the last
reorganisation / tidy-up where it is, some sort of sixth sense draws
me (us?) to where it is? We can probably see where it isn't, so by
definition, it must be somewhere else (or actually where we thought it
was in the first place but just in a different container). ;-)
