Almost all found, but more lost.

Well, except the clarinet reeds and the motivation. Everything else, curiously, was exactly where it was meant to be... I just assumed I'd put them all in the Green Box as I'd been in a rush. (The Green Box is the Holding System for everything in transit in my room... there's no spare room in it at the moment!)

My patience has also gone missing, though. This could have Consequences, though I got through the early evening without any Consequences.

In between times, I'm having a bit of a nostalgic moment with Holst's Planet Suite! No, nothing to do with remembering the Moon Landing of 40 years ago - I think I vaguely remember something, but it really didn't impinge on me at the age of four. No, it's much more personal... It's the only piece of classical music I can ever remember my tone deaf brother being able to identify! To my total amazement. Probably to his. Though, at the time he was working at a theatre with the lighting department and he heard it every night for several weeks. It had nothing to do with the fact his elder sister tortured him daily with classical music from either of her two instruments or her trusty radio/cassette player for years! I was informed it all sounded the same... Which to him, I am convinced, it did. I've only come across a very few people who are genuinely tone deaf, and he was one of them. Still, these days I can listen to it without getting tearful or having to turn it off, which I had to do for a number of years after he died, (nearly 18 years ago) and only get kind of wistful, just wondering.

Now - whilst I'm in wondering mode, which is better than being De-Motivated, or Impatient, shall I deal with the glitter crisis? Sorting out boxes of cards, with poorly stuck on glitter, (but all cherished cards as they were lovingly made by those with only small single digits in their age!) is a Bad Idea when wearing a new black T-shirt. I think I shall get the sellotape out and deal with it now!
