The Accord's cruise control has stopped working, it's almost certainly the microswitch on the brake pedal that needs adjustment. Fine, I'll grab my spanner set and get to it.
Only they've been moved, or "tidied up." Admittedly I probably should not have left them in the spare bedroom for a fortnight.
"They might be under the sink, or in the out house, try the closet under the stairs."
Nothing. "Well I don't know, they're your spanners." Charlie says when I ask her where she put them.
What'll now happen is that I'll get another set for Christmas and she'll find the original set in February somewhere least expected.
Grrrr!
