Lovely post, @lizelle! So many great moments. The navigator woman — hilarious. Some people were just not meant to provide instructions to others. Wow, shoes as planters! And yes, one should always be braced for a sudden need to adopt a pet when visiting the SPCA. Sorry about your burst water pipe!
Hi @jayna, I'm so glad you enjoyed reading my little story. I still say they use a woman's voice in those navigators, so they can blame a woman for leading us up the garden path;)
I've also never seen shoes used as planters but they need a little TLC!
My late husband designed that wall to withstand the worst flooding, he was in roads and stormwater engineering. When I saw the water welling up so close I knew the pipe was going to have to be diverted. Thankfully they did it quickly.
I hope you're having a good Sunday, and that it's starting to warm up a little, or is it too soon for that?
