    Would loooove to take undeserved credit for this, but can’t. I am technologically maladapted to the modern computerised lifestyle and cannot offer assistance in such matters. As befits my boomer status. But I am delighted that it all worked out in the end.

      I’m going to believe that you smiled at a spring flower in just the right way to get the stars aligned. It really could’ve gone tits up but it all turned out okay.

      Now I’m not going to update my phone for another 7 years…

      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.
