I have found the key !

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all my readers!
No real news, I only wanted to report that the key that was lost has been found!
No idea where it had been but it turned up in one of those odd dishes we have around for emptying pocket change and general kipple into. Well, I was emptying my pocket of kipple and there it was lying in the dish! The key that was lost.

So the key has returned!
