I don't know how many of you will remember, but I waxed lyrical about having a bed in a zenzen (magazine for Yamaguchi JETs) article I wrote last year. At home in Cullompton, I am fortunate enough to have a huge bed, a king-size one in fact. Because it is such a big bed and I am but wee, I tend to use half of it as a desk so I have all my books, remotes and things on it.

Now, tonight I was changing my bedsheets. I was taking them off and thought, 'now remember to take your remote off the bed', which I dutifully did. However, I forgot about my alarm clock which I left in my bedsheets. When I finally remembered, the sheets were already in the machine.

BUT...

I hadn't turned the on button on yet, so I spent a good 5 minutes rummaging around in my bedsheets looking for the sodding thing.

Now that ladies and gentleman, was the highlight of my Sunday evening.
