    It’s so annoying when you knock something and it does an illogical disappearing act. Hope it turns up soon!

    I hope the hearing aid turns up soon.  I'm with you on feeling tired and unmotivated!

    My sound bath for tonight has been cancelled as not enough people had signed up. Was looking forward to it too.

    Ah sorry the sound bath was cancelled. I've been to a few now but I'm on the lookout for a different provider. I was made to feel really uncomfortable the last time I went because I needed a chair rather than laying on the floor and was made to go to the back like a naughty child. Really unspiritual attitude of all of them including the person running it even though they profess to be love and light and kind. 🫣
    Blimey. That’s not on. So much for love & light. 
    I usually have a chair. The one tonight is by a lady who has been to the women’s group but this would have been the first one I would have been with people I don’t know.

    Whilst I have never lost a hearing aid as mine are too big as I can't have the little ones as my ears are too damaged so at risk of infection, I have lost batteries.  I usually find them on the carpet all too often by standing on them.  Of the 2 I didn't find, I saw one go under my computer where it is still.  The other I hunted for over a yard around where I had knocked it off & knew that it could not have joined the other one under the computer as I had been standing in the way deliberately so it didn't happen again.  Several hours later I found it in my pocket.

    Hope you find your hearing aid soon Beanielou. I lost a battery out of one of mine and was really panicked as visiting grandchildren are quite young. I was terrified they’d eat in. I spent ages and ages on hands and knees trying to feel the battery, moved furniture etc etc. turned up magnetically attached to a watch charger eventually.

    Sadly I have used the watch charger since. 
    Mine have no batteries and are charged. I understand the battery worry though.
