Ever had that thing that sat on your workbench for weeks or months and when you finally need it you forgot where you put it.
Had a plastic rod I couldn’t find a use for until today. Had a lump of putty all mixed and ready and then the plastic was gone, hiding somewhere at the worst time. When I finally gave up and used the putty on something else, the playful plastic decide to stop playing hide and seek and show itself. This piece of plastic might be ex CIA.

Question: are tiled floors better than shag pile?
No: things bounce! Enough said.

Just this weekend I had a figure i was painting vanish when I went to refresh my drink. Found it this morning, under a couch 2 rooms away, chewed on by one of the cats. At least this one mystery was solved in quick order!

Regularly I place wargame items into, will do them later bin/box and forget where I put them only for them to turn up several months later. I think it is the wargame Gods way of keeping us on our toes.

The ridiculous track lighting casts some serious shadows in the corners. I’m always losing bits and then knocking them on to the floor.
