I'm feeling pretty upset and struggling to sleep - we said goodbye to my great friend Bubble this evening. She's been my constant companion during home working over the last 18mths or so, gate-crashing Teams meetings and sleeping next to my desk most days. This afternoon she found a corner to curl up and sleep and didn't wake up - she was only 11. Silly, but the tears just flowed when I found her.

Not silly at all, Ray. You lost a loved family member and it hurts. My sympathies.

Certainly not silly. As Shane says above. Whether it’s ‘only an animal’ or not you have still lost a much loved family member and it hurts. My condolences.

Thank you guys. I've been for a long walk this morning, I just needed to get some space and be alone with my thoughts - still found myself looking for her when I got back though but that'll dissipate with time.

I had another good blub at the vet first thing this morning when I took her up to be cremated - I even started one of the nurses off. The vet staff were brilliant, very empathetic and dignified.

Thoughts please, ladies & gentlemen !
As I received not a lot of helpful comments, I decided to get off my backside and solve this by throwing technology at the problem.

I injected a 100mV 25MHz AM modulated signal (400Hz) into one end of the wire and then used my trusty little Sony ICF-SW1 to wander round the garden until I found a place where the signal went...
