FLIP FLOPS!!!!
A little story about the flip flops! Every Wednesday is the Church Bible study. The floods seemed to have cleared a lot so I decided to go along. On my way no sign of flooding, until very near the house were it was being held. Got to the house or the main road beside the house and could see that there was flooding from the main road into the house, but it wasn't far. So I parked my motorcycle at the side of the road. Crossed the road and put one testing foot into the water. Oh this isn't too deep I thought this is ok. SPLASH!!! On taking the next step it got somewhat deeper slipped on the mud and fell head first into the water, pretty much completely submerged!!!!! Taking my head out of the water, ah my flip flops were floating in the current away from me - ahh. I managed to grab one but the other was impossible. What am I going to do now, can I go back without shoes/flipflops? Dripping back to my motorbike I spotted a pair of discarded flip flops by the road side. One was broken but the side I needed was not. So off I went with my non matching flip flops, one left one right : ) Absolutely gutted to loose my black one with flowers I've had them for years, but have managed to buy another pair. Hope somebody finds it by the roadside someday and will help them out of their perdictament!!!

Oh Claire!! That's really sad about your sandel and your camera! At least you have some interesting stories now... Although I'm sure you'd rather have your camera and your flip-flop.
