As a pinpointer they are very good Karen also for finding nails and screws in ceiling joists. It would take weeks to cover and distance of ground though.

Hi Lily, you are still welcome to borrow it. However we have a slight problem though, we canā€™t find it :rofl: :grimacing: we have 3 barns, 2 of them huge and a mini barn and an old non restored house that are all full of stuff. Iā€™m sure it is very safely in a box somewhere. Where this box is I have NO idea, we have tried everywhere obvious and where we thought but I think it is sadly going to be a case of spotting it when we are looking for something else!

In S Africa thereā€™s a very common Afrikaans phrase for that sort of situation that everyone uses regardless of which of the eleven(!) official languages is their first one

ā€˜N Boer maak n planā€™ - ā€˜A farmer makes a plan.ā€™

My wife used it yesterday when I made a platform to stand on in order to install spotlights above one of our staircases.

I think it probably dates from the C19th when the Boers were continually outwitting the British army (bit like the Ukrainians against the Russians).

I have the same problem with Franā€™s boules. My friends, knowing I used to be a keen player know nothing of the sport but would like to learn, but although mine havenā€™t been used for over 15 years I know exactly where they are, but I canā€™t find Franā€™s. One set is ok for teaching them the rudiments, but we need two sets to test ourselves in a game. Theyā€™ll turn up one day, as you say. :grinning:

Hi tory,
Please donā€™t stress, Iā€™m in no rush. Iā€™m just happy for your offer :hugs:
You are juggling enough balls at the moment :woman_juggling:
Be kind to yourself
