15th January 2014 - elusive

I told a sad tale of my missing mojo yesterday, relating how it was always just outside my grasp. It continues to be so and today’s attempts to recapture it have not borne fruit. It slips through my fingertips every time. Today I sensed it hiding behind the curtain but could I grab it? No. It slipped through my fingers like butter off a hot knife.

I need my mojo back. I’m pretty sure you can’t buy new ones and I’m equally sure that no-one else can give me theirs (even if I could persuade anyone that they don’t need it). Is there some kind of emergency department where I can go to have it put back. Would an agency like ghostbusters help? Could the CIA, KGB or MI5 find it for me? Could a private detective help? Could I enlist the help of Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple? Are there places, a bit like dog rescues where lost mojos wait to be reunited with their owners? If so, do they get destroyed or rehomed if they’re not claimed quickly enough?

Time will tell of course but it’s not looking good, it's just too elusive. It’s been gone for too long to believe it’ll just turn up safe and well of its own accord and I am stumped as to how to find it again. If anyone has any ideas, just let me know. I’m prepared to try almost anything.

Have to agree with Ed and Ray: your photographic mojo seems to be fine. But if you do find it (I had a suspicion mine was down the back of the sofa... -- but it was just half a Digestive biscuit...), please let me know. Mine might be in the same place...!

A couple of school kids shouting for Mrs Mingay might do it.

Your photo mojo seems fine to me, maybe it's hiding within its self? Like the effect created here! (and I think ghostbusters would be better than those other three!) :-)

They would be almost priceless if they were for sale. Be well Linda.

Sadly Linda, the likes of Tesco Express, Sainsbury's Local or even Little Waitrose don't sell them anymore, so there are fewer and fewer places to find them! My advice is to find a little village shop that maybe still has a sign for Esso Blue or Ogdens Nut Brown Flake displayed!

But hey, I like this image, and I think that mojo is not as far away as you think...
