There is a pencil thief in my shed. There must be. I bought 3 new carpenters pencils the other day. Sharpened one and put it in the cracked brew mug on the window sill where I put all my pencils. The other two I hid in a drawer. Now whatever creature the pencil thief is he/it has ferreted out all my pencils and has now made a secret nest of them somewhere. That along with my yellow wax crayon for marking steel, my engineers chalk and sundry other items like my straight and bent scribes, combination square and a few old school compasses I used to use for drawing circles have all gone.
The last pencil disappeared yesterday and this morning I went back to the shed to find both new pencils now in a different drawer and one of the scribes has turned up out of the blue. My wife thinks I am going nuts, she could be right but if I catch the mongrel he will have a very sore rear end from my size 11 EEE boot. Oh crap now my biro has disappeared. The bugger is in the house now. Oh hang on it's behind my ear.
Dooh just went into the laundry - no mans land I call it - and there sitting on top of the second fridge is a couple of cups chock full of pencils, compasess and scribes. The mongrel is storing them in the laundry. ....
Whats that dear .....
Empty my pockets before putting my clothes in the dirty clothes basket??? Why?????
