...my winter gloves and liner gloves? I am sure they were in the shed with my gilet and skull cap, but mysteriously they have vanished.

    You keep clothing in the shed?

    I keep all sorts of things in there, golf kit, cricket kit etc. Space and a tidy-a-holic Mrs means it is my best option. Plus, I constantly find myself going back and forth between shed and house when I am trying to get ready for a ride as I am quite forgetful, so I keep everything handy. At least I thought I did. It's perfectly dry as it's brick built and is really a jolly nice shed.

    Ah shed, the last bastion of men where we can hide from the Mrs and pretend we are doing something constructive, only drawback is that if you lose something in there you only have yourself ( or the fearies) to blame

    All hail the shed


    p.s.
    have you looked inside your winter jacket pockets

    God loves a good shed that's for sure.

    Tried my jacket pockets, but alas no joy...

    Lateral thinking - like it.

    Problem has been resolved - several weeks ago I remember that the shed had mysteriously become tidy (remember the tidy-a-holic Mrs?). Using my Morse like skills I applied ladylogic. Next to my bike is my golf bag, man wears a glove to play golf, gloves found, ergo they must be for golf. Gloves found stuffed in side pocket of golf bag with half eaten banana and mouldy Mars bar.

    Ta for the help :-)

    I have a garage made of brick, but never a shed

    Women are banned from sheds I thought.

    Perhaps I am missing something by why in gods name does your missus have access to your shed?

    Does she not know her place in the world? :lol:

    My mrs is allowed in the shed but only under superviision and is under no circumstances allowed to touch and definately nevernevernevernevernever to " tidy"
    In fact as I have a reasonable sized shed I have sectioned it off and she has her only side for her horse blankets
    ( sub - topic why do horsey birds need so many bluddy horse rugs)

    I have even considered putting another lock on but am waiting for retinal scanners to hit the domestic market

    never trust a man with a tidy shed.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    We have always had an unspoken truce without any hard and fast boundaries - I am expected not to ogle her friends and she stays clear of my shed. On this occasion, there was some kind of synapse malfunction in her brain and she crossed the line. I made my feelings very clear and made a mental note to get a quick surreptitious ogle in at some point in the future. It was all counterproductive in the end as I have turned the shed's contents upside down to locate the missing items so it looks worse than before :-)
