So, here is a story for you all to enjoy from the comfort of your living rooms...
It seems I am not the only one this week to loose something precious, only to miraculously find it again. (Gail, I can hear your sighs of relief from here) Last night saw free beer for all, which was naturally followed by drunken frivolities and searing hangovers. The rumors are true; beer does taste better when it’s free! What some of you may or may not know is that it is also enjoyed at a faster pace and in greater volumes. It was as if our lives depended on drinking the bar dry by 9pm. So there we are at a leaner solving the problems of the world, well Sunshine Village, and Anna drops her engagement ring. It is a noisy and dimly lit bar so no ding da ding ding was heard. Despite our best efforts we could not find it anywhere. Realistically we had no chance of finding it amongst the heaving masses anyway. Superman was there and even he couldn’t see it (for those of you who weren’t there it was a superhero dress up party, it wasn’t the real superman). Here is where the story turns…Anna, forever protective of her amber liquid brings it closer to her and goes for a sip, maybe to relieve some pressure, maybe out of habit, but sure enough there it was drowning at the bottom of her glass. Of course we had a beer to celebrate, silly not to, they were free remember. As with any story there must be a moral, in this case there are three:
Beer is always good but sometimes it is magnificent!
Don’t remove your engagement ring from your finger, ever!
Don’t be mad at John about the camera because you too may loose something one day.
I hope we all have learned something here today, I know I have.
Till next time
