You know for years and years, like many other boat builders, every so often I’ve misplaced a tool, spent ages looking for it only to find it in the first place I looked. If you’re tired or in a rush this can quickly turn from perplexing to Rumplestilskin type apoplexy.
Well I think I discovered the cause.

I walked up to visit my neighbour earlier for a Christmas drink. While strolling home full of the spirit of Christmas I noticed the lights on in my workshop. I thought I or my wife had left the lights on. But I could hear hammering! So peeking in the window I was able to snap the attached photo. I don’t know what it is but it was using my hammer. Being superstitious I decided on not disturbing this creature and I’m just hoping it put my hammer back on the shelf.
