Our Day Out

16/9/2012

A serious post to follow, but meanwhile this:

At a pretty seaside town on the Basque coast. Pietro decides to go for a swim in the harbour. Choppy water. Changes into swimming trunks. Poised to jump in. Still wearing glasses.

G: You can’t wear your glasses. They’ll come off and you’ll lose them.
P: No they won’t.
G: Yes they will.
P: No they won’t.

Pietro jumps in. Two minutes later he gets out.

G: Where are your glasses?
P: I’m wearing them.
G: No you’re not.
P: Where are they then?
G: Perhaps they came off and you lost them?

P: Oh dear, yes, that must be it.

G: Groan [Not sure whether to laugh or cry.]

Glasses remain in the sea, lost forever.

And there you have it.

........oh my goodness how many times have I heard a story just like this!!!!! My Dad did the same wearing sunglasses many many years ago.
We all think we know better than the sea but the sea always has the last laugh! Reckon there's a glasses store somewhere in there!!

Hi Jacqui. Of course Pietro's glasses have been lost in lots of other places too! Hope you all had fun on Sunday evening. We were thinking of you all.

Losing precious things is actually a kind of habit of mine. You would not believe but actually it has happened three times with me that I have lost my sunglasses while swimming in the sea.
