Can't find 'em anywhere.
So I decided to do some painting of the side gate, it was geting quite rusty and the black paint starting to peel off, so I thought on Saturday last I'd re paint.
I put the wire brush, the bottle of Kurust and the tin of Hammerite on the top of the brick post next to the gate, and took my glasses off too as I don't need them for close work. During the painting the lady who delivers the free paper came along with what I presume were her three daughters, they stopped at the gate and chatted and went on their way, at the finish of the job, (Kurust only), I went to pick up the brush and tin of paint etc and the glasses, and they weren't there, they had vanished, I've looked everywhere, of course at the bottom of the post both sides, all around the garden -though I'm sure I hadn't moved them from the post, looked in the house, the garage, asked a neighbour, all to no avail, a complete mystery, now I just wonder if one of the three girls pinched them, I can't think why but there doesn't seem any other explanation. I lke them when cycling for improved sight of course and to protect the eyes from road dust etc.
I've ordered two pairs of ''Reactions'' which should be ready this coming Saturday, so I'll where one on the New Foreat ride, but where are the original pair?!
I'm not light fingered at all, but years ago when I was about 11 years old I pinched a fisherman's's reel he had beside him on the river bank, I dropped it after about 100 yards, and have never done anything like it since, just a silly, small boy's prank, but perhaps this is the Good Lord paying me back after all those years?
