My first, late, mother-in-law reported similar goings-on soon after the death of her second husband, my first wife Valerie's stepfather. She told a friend, who said, "Oh, that's just Edward playing tricks. It happened after my husband died. Soon stops, though." But the last death in this house was of Valerie herself ~~ 7 years ago. She's left it a bit late, eh?

Only kidding, of course. I genuinely do not believe in such goings on, for all Al's deathless verses!

OTOH, on the Sherlock Holmes principle, already cited, about having excluded the impossible then whatever remains, however unlikely... Trouble there in this instance, tho, is that such a postulation would surely rank as one of the impossibilities that have to be eliminated; so, back to ▢-1, what does remain?

So, yes Eliza: I would luv to identify this 'simple explanation' that there must surely be. However...

BTW, it is in nature for ladies to lose their glasses. Has anyone ever known one who didn't? Adding the occasions end-to-end, I must have spent a total of, at a conservative estimate, at least 6 months locating Valerie's spectacles during our nearly ½-C together!
So please assure that lovely husband of yours of my sincere fellow-feelings in this particular!
