well, i just had a brilliant evening. i went out to dinner with some friends to (belatedly) celbrate my birthday. good food, margaritas (so i'm a bit drunk), and i even got some pressies, and on my way home from the restaurant, i passed in front of a café and noticed my beloved, irreplaceable umbrella in an urn propping open the door !! now, the irony is, when i first lost this umbrella, about 2 months ago, i went to all the places i thought i *might* have forgotten it, *including* this café, and they told me "no no, haven't seen it". so it was, to say the least, unexpected to notice it sitting there. but i am so happy to have recovered it ! it's a very old umbrella, probably older than i am, and they don't make them like that anymore. no matter how hard the wind blows, this umbrella will never be turned inside out. probably, i will fly away, with the umbrella as a sail, before that happens. and since i lost it i've been very sad every time i think of it. so i really can't say how happy i am to have recovered it ! purely by chance, just walking past. and i had a very funny conversation with 4 guys who were the last clients in the café, at a table just outside the door, when i noticed it and picked it up.
an excellent night, really. who would have thought, an umbrella could count so much ?
