"They seek him here,
they seek him there,
those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel."

Now that really depends on the occupation at the time! today more likely to be a broom or feather duster - tomorrow brush - wednesday - the pen, thursday - brush, friday - pen, saturday - brush, Sunday - almost anything.  Truth is, I leave the site running and pop in and out, now and thenLaughing.  Today it was in between the loads of washing and hanging them out to dry.  All finished now, on lunch break! Tongue out
