NOBODY IS PERFECT

LETTER N

And certainly not  me when it comes to keys and glasses ! When my friend Claudie was here, I wanted to take her to Ostend at seafront. It's about 1 1/2 h drive when the highway is not fully packed. We wanted to leave at 9 am at the latest.

I had everything except my glasses on my nose and without glasses I am blind like a mole, I am shortsighted. I looked in my room, no glasses. I tried to remember where I had been in the morning. No glasses in sight and without it is also difficult for me to find them. I called Mr. G. for help. First thing he did was looking in the fridge as I once had put my slippers in there. He looked in all cupboards in the kitchen, turned over the bin, checked the inside of all pots, without any result. Maria my cleaning lady was there too and looked under all the furniture in the house. She removed my bed, found tissues and an old wallet but no glasses. Meanwhile Claudie joined in and at 4 people we were looking for the glasses. Nobody found them. They had just disappeared. Without glasses impossible to drive. Finally I found an old pair which was not really perfect but at least I could see the signs on the street.

After  Mr. G.knowing his wife had  checked the inside of all my shoes, had checked my wardrobe, there was nothing to do, the glasses had vanished.

It was getting late so we left. After an hour I got a call from Mr. G. Maria had found the glasses behind the door of my room. I probably had pushed them there when I took my cardigan ! This was the only place in the house we hadn't looked !
