Strange day...

Lazy-Ferret · 03-01-2017, 23:36

I had a weird day today, first off, in the back of the car, I have a pair of Rigger gloves stored in the net on the back door. On my car, the net is behind my fold down shelf, so pretty well protected. A few weeks back, I needed to get my trailer number plate out of the net, and noticed one of the gloves was missing... I hoped it was just somewhere in the boot.

Today, I decided to tidy the boot, and while at it, see if the glove was buried in there, but despite having everything out, re-packed, and put back in, there was no luck finding the glove... During the course of doing the boot, I moved a few things from the boot, into the back of the car, and vice-a-versa, and because of the way the car is parked, this was all done via the rear passenger side door.

I finished tidying up, and as I was finishing up, noticed I had not shut the rear door properly, so opened it, to re-shut it, and as I opened it, the missing glove fell out....

Then....

I came back into the house to warm up, and fit a remote control unit to a set of my Amber Beacons. over the year, I make fleece/cotton hammock bedding for our ferrets using a sewing machine, and because I really hate rethreading the cotton after winding a bobbin, I purchased a separate battery operated bobbin winder.

A couple of weeks ago, I hunted high and low for it, convinced I knew where it should be, but it was no where to be found, in the end, I wound the bobbin on the machine. Today, I went to a cupboard where I keep my box of Heat Shrink Tubing, and the Heat Gun, and as I opened the cupboard, the Bobbin winder fell out...

The thing is, I have been in that cupboard since I was looking for the winder and never saw it, plus, it has never been kept in that cupboard...

Spooky...

Now if these things really do happen in threes, I wonder what else is going to "fall Out" and find me... I can't even blame the ferrets, as neither of these are places they can get.

I would still blame the ferrets just to put my mind at rest, but yes i have the same problems, only today my Mrs asked if I had stollen/borrowed her broom, I had to own up and say yes it is in the workshop, but on entering this place could not find it??? a while later I visited the barn and there it was, now how it got there I do not know, so I will blame the dogs,
