Oops - nearly not COUNTING AGAIN - 26 (yes 26)❤

Last night, just as we were winding down, the boys were asleep, the fire gently crackling away, Himself asked if I was organised for a number for today. 
Yeah I yawned, trying to remember which photo it was, I have some that I have collected through out the year and saved in my 'December numbers count down' file and I have some that I found this last weekend. I couldn't quite bring the image to mind.


I thought I would just check before turning the laptop off.....good thing I did coz there was no photo for 25!


Good grief - Himself and I rattled around the images for a while trying to see if I had taken one and not saved it in the numbers file but he soon got bored and went for a shower. I continued. I searched and searched, even to the point of getting out the external hard drive that holds our previous years and years of photos and trawled through those. Himself returned from his shower, pronounced himself clean and tired and said he was off to bed.


I decided to check though the cupboards to see if anything had a 25 gm or 25ml on it....no, I looked at the boys Tshirts for a 25, nope......I decided against using a page number - too easy too boring,  I discovered that nail varnish is only 6mls in size (too small) and the bread had a 35% discount voucher on it (too big)...I was almost on the point of giving up when I remembered that last December I had the flu and was unable to complete the counting - may be I didn't get round to using the 25.


That took a bit of sorting out - it entailed setting up the external hard drive again - but voilà - saved - I found an image for 25.
Good - I can go to bed now, it was after midnight and I was tired.


Fast forward to today. 

• Start writing the post (get it done nice and early as I have a fair bit to do) 
• Get the 'new post' page up on blogger............
• Notice the date
• Notice that I need a 26 and not a 25
• Sit dumbfound for approximately 10 seconds then grind my back teeth and start again......   

I have a flash of inspiration and check Himself's maps - surely one will have a reference number or similar for 26. I go through his rather large collection of maps, some dating from the 1940s, and eventually find this.........

So, today's number is brought to you by a combination of teeth grinding, stupidity and sheer luck!

26❤

 •Ps - don't you love my screen saver? I do - it was a gift from a rather Lovely Lady who sent me a Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar, and the boys and I are delighting in opening it each day - so thank you dear LL xx 

•Pps - I have tomorrow's date sorted - err it's 25 and ummm, I don't need to worry trying to find it again..... erhem.
