after5's Journal: Day of Lament

I went to London today, saw the Tower of London, Crown Jewels, Harrods, Fleet Street, etc.

But the worst possible thing that could happen, occured.

No, I'm fine.

Camera is okay too.

Rucksack intact.

Credit cards/money safe.

Even WORSE than the above...



...my sunglasses ran away.



I don't know how it happened. I was riding the tube to catch the coach back to Oxford, and somehow they disappeared from my shirt pocket. So someone on the underground (mind the gap) or by Victoria Station, well, merry christmas! You have my sunglasses! Worst. Day. Ever. I want to go home.

Oh no!

Now I won't be able to recognize you in dark rooms w/o you wearing your shades 24/7! :o)

Here's the plan...

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. Well, at least you are safe and all of your things weren't taken. We'll have to use satellites or something to find the thief so we can chase him/her down. From there we will steal your sunglasses back, then place some of those silly clear ones in their place. It would serve that evil person right to have to deal with damaging UV rays.

We miss you and look forward to your return... there are just a few days left.

hmmmmm

[dmbdoitforfenton]

yes indeed... "Mind the Gap" I'm probably the only one who got that

poor brother!!

Oh my poor baby brother! I can't believe someone would stoop so low as to steal (notice I used a much harsher term than borrow-with-the-intent-of-not-returning to truely communicate my disgust) your sunglasses. I thought they didn't like "normal" sunglasses. Maybe they stole them for a clown costume, jerks. Well, when I go to London next summer you better believe someone is gonna pay for what they did to you. I know how sensitive your little eyes are, this is unacceptable. I hope you are somehow able to move on through the rest of the week. Your mother is anxiously awaiting your return so she can tah-tah you. I will not rest until you have a new pair of sunglasses! Well, I'll rest when I'm tired, but when I'm not tired, watch out Sunglass Hut!
