Long parted - together at last.

Condatis

For over a year now I've had two odd socks in my underwear drawer. With about 80 pairs at the last count this did not leave me short – but I felt sorry for them, all alone and no sign of their mates turning up.

I often thought about throwing them out. I just could not bring myself to doing it. They were perfectly good – of similar colour but clearly different. They had been rolled up as a pair. A simple and rare slip-up by my Sock Valet, Madame Condatis.

Then, by chance, I discovered that Madame has a stash of lonely socks, the property of various members of the household. Ah! there they were – the long lost mates.

Well now! for such a simple thing I was so happy. With a huge sense of relief I tenderly rolled one of the re-united pairs over my feet this morning.

King of Kings

best news I've heard all year - in the doom and gloom of the recent past stories should be publicised to show there is more to life than banks, earthquakes etc....

Hurrah!

Brings a tear to my eye
