The Blessings of Autumn
Problem 302.3b of losing weight and nearly attaining goal; your rings no longer fit and while you like to continue wearing them you find yourself constantly hunting for them in pockets and on the floor when you realise theyve fallen off. Now you could of course have them resized but this is an expensive business especially when its all of your rings and many of them it woud cost more to resize than it did to originally purchase them so you make do with alternate methods such as string wrapped around them or those little plastic sleeve things to reduce their size but that only works so far.
And then this morning happens. You reach for the handle on the toilet, depress it, bring hand back, watch as rings depart into toilet bowl and then the water clears to reveal acres of pristine porcelain and zip. Witness if you will, nada, nothing no rings at all.
I wonder the adventures they are having along miles of pipes. Or in fact probably sitting just on the other side of the u-bend but eh, I aint going in after them. My sister would be appalled, she works in hydrogeology so gets really snitty when people flush things down toilets that shoudlnt go down it. She judges brixxx for flushing Cappy Norman the goldfish down it. apparently its no fun for the guys at the sewage treatment who have to keep hauling the screens up to scrape little fishy carcasses of them, although they do occasionally find live ones.
Moral of story, if rings no longer fit, get them resized or stop wearing them
Off to mourn.
