Another example of my senior moments. This one is ridiculous. I'm staying with my friend in Essex. His gas hob has a burner which has developed a non-stop clicking noise if switched on - I think the knob is faulty. Anyway, to make sure I didn't switch it on I removed the knob and put it on the kitchen counter. Next morning, he says 'what have you done with the cooker knob?'. I say, 'I put it where I always put it - on the counter'. He says 'not there!' so I start to search. Did I accidentally put it in the bin? I go through all the bin contents. Not there. Its quite a small kitchen and I look everywhere possible - cupboards, drawers etc. In the end we decide it will turn up in due course.
Later that day he finds it. I had put it on top of the plastic milk bottle in the fridge in place of the cap (which I must have thrown away). It was just the right size! I have no memory whatsoever of dong this.
