Gardening is my favourite past time but I do not normally garden with my eye glasses on. However, on Monday 10^th October I found myself gardening (and yes) with my glasses on. I immediately removed them and put them on the back bumper of my car – a Kia SUV.  I finished my gardening and cleaning up my place and returned to upstairs to the living room of my house cool down and have some porridge (ummm) – I love hot porridge (oats). I then cooled my system down with three fans on me whilst I lay on the floor listening to Rooster 101.

Within half-hour I was under the shower and dressed ready to do my usual thing (shop, visit, etc.). It was then I started to look for my glasses. I looked everywhere. No glasses to be found. So, I found an old pair, put them on and carefully drove out of my property just wondering where in the world my missing glasses could be – where did I put them?

As I drove out onto the highway in the vicinity of the bank, HSBC, I suddenly remembered where I had placed my glasses. In a safe place you can bet – on the back bumper of my Kia! She was safely parked so it was OK to put my glasses on her bumper wouldn’t you think? Sure that was OK if I had remembered to take them off when my gardening was finished!

Anyway, as soon as I remembered where I had so stupidly placed them I quickly did a quick turn around into KIRK’s Supermarket and headed right back to see if I could find them. Find them?! Oh yes, I found them! But guess where? As I approached Helen Drive, in the middle turning lane of the West Bay Road, there they were. The lenses had turned very dark at this point in time as the sun was very hot. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I quickly put on my headlights and blinkers and parked in that middle lane, got out and ran to pick them up. No vehicle had driven over them. Can you believe it?? And I didn’t cause an accident. And my glasses are fine. And I am so happy. That’s my strange story. Strange? Do you know how much traffic travels down the West Bay Road? And they had landed in the middle turning lane? Strange but thankfully true.
