Air conditioner remote...

As you may have guessed from Andrew's comments on my last post, we lost the remote for our air conditioner. As it is impossible to turn the air con on without it, this was a bit of a problem when we came home today after being away, and found our house to be incredibly hot and stuffy, with no way to cool it down. We searched everywhere for the remote, and finally gave up and went shopping, since we were hungry for lunch anyway, as it was past 2pm, and the shops are air conditioned. We searched again when we came home tonight after being out for dinner, and still couldn't find it, despite looking everywhere, even in the pantry (yes I know it sounds like an odd place, but we were running out of places to look!!). After we'd both sat down and read blogs for a while, Andrew decided to look for it again. This time, he moved something that was sitting on the couch we were on (something that I was certain I had moved before!!) and found it sitting there, on the couch, hidden. But not really hidden so well as to justify the amount of time we spent looking. But at least we have our remote, and can cool our house down again.
