A good luck band was given, this bit of string was a gift of luck and good wishes.
Now for some of us, this band stayed on for a day, week etc.
Mine however has stayed with me for a considerable amount of time.
Suffice to say I had grown quite attached to this tatty bit of twine.
Today finally after 642 days, it has disappeared :)
I therefore am a little bit down.
In respect the string and I had been through a lot :
- Found Nemo in the South China Sea
- ooaah and aahhed at Humpback whales
- Gawped at Machu Picchu
- Attended a Quaker wedding in NY State
- Swam in the Amazon
- Ate dumplings in Warsaw
- Changed the Guard in London
- Petted sharks, penguins, turtles and boobies in the Galapagos
- Did the sound of Music in Austria
I can now claim my prize for holding on to it for the longest.
Still does not make me feel better :(
A sad day in the Kirk household.
ReplyDeletePete's genuinely upset by the loss of his off-white string.
I have searched the house for it and until you look for a scrawny bit of grubby white string you don't appreciate how many other bits of scrawny whiteish string there are about!
Oh you are such a romantic at heart. Let me see if I can send you a good luck charm. Of course there's no replacement, but I will see what I can do!
