Ooh, I had to put this in a separate comment because it was so perfectly serendipitous there HAS to be something else going on.

woe!So I've renewed the search for my missing compact travel headphones for weeks, v frustrated as I need them badly when travelling on PT/plane - including tomorrow. Surely I haven't lost THAT? How many things can I mess up?

Dejected, I chucked my large unwieldy studio monitors in my bag, with the 1m long cable. On with the evening... was giving all the plants a pre-trip water but went a bit overboard with the ones in the study - sound of dripping water on the cupboard shelves five minutes later; oh no... Hastily move aside a dusty pile of stuff so it doesn't get wet. Way to go, me.

And then... I JUST happen to feel something cold and hard at the edge of the pile - what's this? A headphone connector! My beloved Audio-Technicas, this is how I was meant to find you after not seeing you for over a year!!

The universe has clearly decided to give you a break. Which is very nice of it. Does happen sometimes.
