perlmonger has just emptied the tumble dryer. In some consternation, he informed me that “the sheet was missing” … the load was mostly bedlinen, and indeed – there was No Sheet.
it wasn’t in the washing machine. It wasn’t in the tumble dryer. It wasn’t in the laundry basket.
it was still on the bed, underneath the clean sheet.
but you probably knew that, didn’t you …
Now I had guessed – inside the clean duvet cover … which is where we find missing knickers, socks, pillow cases, etc etc
ah no – we always do them up before they go in the wash, because of their habit of devouring everything in their vicinity. And it had been checked.
I do hope you found it in time to have the Post Office messenger boy return with your telegram of complaint to Mr Stanley Baldwin unsent…
I wonder why I read that as Stanley *Unwin* …
Good taste, I expect.
I think I wasn’t the only one chanting …
<panto mode=”on”> it’s on the bed </panto>

Re: I think I wasn’t the only one chanting …
You weren’t … ;-P
(though this post does remind me that I’d meant to do some laundry earlier this week …)
