Once they were lost, but Now they are found!

Eureka!
A few months ago I sorted out a basketful of greetings cards that had accumulated over the 8 years we had lived in the Dower House. I had the intention of keeping, for sentimental reasons, the ones His Lordship and I had exchanged with each other over the years and binning the rest.
Weeks later I thought to look again at the ones I had kept, but they were nowhere to be found. So much was happening at that time I could not remember what I had done with them, and although I turned the house upside down looking in every possible receptacle, I drew a blank, coming to believe that I had inadvertently binned them too.

Fast forward to this morning with Robynn and I admitting to each other how much we liked notebooks and my telling her I had a drawer of them which had never been used and would she like one.
The said drawer is in a small set of drawers in an Ikea wooden box, the kind it was possible to buy unpainted and could decorate yourself. It sits on a shelf in my bathroom and also houses a selection of continental plugs, old watches............ .......and a drawer of the cards I had been looking for!

I have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of putting the cards in that drawer but the discovery has made Robynn’s departure back to Sharjah less painful than it might have been.
