Surely something good happened to you today

[Obsidian7]

Visited my parents' home today. My teenage niece stays with them at the weekend. I brought a crap load of age appropriate video games that she'd never played before and we figured out what she liked and didn't like. Then we went to my sister's house. I had pizza and we watched 80's, 90's and early 00's music videos.

Went to a fine restaurant in good company.

I made us very tasty BLTs for lunch.

 

[MANT!]

Got new tires for my Veloster Turbo, rides so much better now that the stock hockey pucks are off the rims...Also converted all the interior lighting to LED....looks much better as well..now for the headlights..

Spent three hours at a car meet where I'm more or less a regular. Visited my mom and brother and we had pizza. Went to the gym. Ate ice cream for dinner.

Nice Sunday.

(Tomorrow morning, back to yogurt and salads...)

one of my sandals started to come apart (eternal thanks to George McGill, the inventor of the paper staple, who saved me fom having to run around barefoot now). Now I have an alibi for buing a new pair =)

My neighbor went fishing and caught... a shoe. It's a mystery as the shoe didn't seem worn out at all, almost new, in fact. Made us wonder what happened. Any idea?

How did a shoe pulled from the water look new, just out of curiosity?

I never said it "looked" new, I said it was new, IE without marks of wear and tear.

Lol. Use what you’ve got handy! Have had to use cellophane tape to fix a pulled hem before!

Duct tape. You can fix anything with duct tape.

OMG... they have "Hazelnut Spread" M&Ms now!!

I know M&Ms aren't really on my diet, but how am I supposed to resist such a divine combination?

At least I was able to avoid eating the entire bag in one go!

 

[Discofan]

I believe Nutella is part hazelnut part chocolate, but I haven't tasted it for decades so maybe I am misremembering.

^don't try it again. They changed the recipe. The new one has far less hazelnuts and far more fat. Lots of customers have protested against the changes but the manufacturer is merciless.

Perhaps there was a flood and the shoe was swept away? Or someone stumbled on a bridge and lost the shoe. Or some moron threw the shoe into the water to anger its owner. Or someone might have drowned, but we'd rather consider that a merely theoretical possibility. Just as well a shoe transporting van might have had an accident.


Good thing today: I found a 4 leaf clover =)

Congratulations.

thanks I find them all the time; my personal record is 15 in one summer. It's really just a matter of pattern recognition: the ones that form a square stand out amongst those who form a triangle. I suppose it comes with the job - one habitually notices tiny differences when working with insects.

My grandmother couldn't walk past a patch of clover without looking around for a 4 leafed one - and she usually found one.

Do you keep them all? If so, how many do you have?

So THAT'S what happened to my shoe!
