Belated Vicky

A little late for Victoria day, which was Monday, we found a Victoria theme for our daily selfie. Since the app would only dress up one of us at a time, Sue also did an individual one.



On our walk. Monday, I happened to spot a hearing aid on the sidewalk. What are the chances since it was less than half the apparent size seen in the photo and of a colour that wouldn't stand out?


We put up notifications on FB, and it was claimed within a very short time by a hospital worker who was missing it badly. We had met her briefly once, and we ended up on the same message group, so she saw my post. She had had to rush to work with wet hair and must have knocked the appliance off while walking hurriedly and fiddling with her hair as she scurried along. She was most relieved to have it back as these contraptions are  very expensive and also very important to the lives of those who need them.

There is not much more to report after a slow day yesterday when I wasn't feeling great and did even less than usual. I did try to bbq for the first time in the season, but the propane ran out. I had fired it up earlier to clean it and make sure it was working, but when it was time to cook, the last bit of propane had been used. It could have been worse; I could actually begun to cook and then have had the fuel run out. As it was, Sue was able to pop the chicken in the oven, and it turned out pretty well.

Today, however, we plan to have a distance coffee meeting with friends in their spacious backyard. We will bring our own coffee and, therefore, exchange no deadly germs. I want to try something different with the camera; if it works, I may post about it tomorrow.

What great news on Being able to reunite that hearing aid with its owner. Kudos to you for that very good deed, AC. Today’s selfies were regal and I wasn’t sure if I should bow or curtsey, so just smiled instead. Hope you all have a great coffee social distancing visit and will look forward to photo updates.

Well, hooray for social media.
Hope you are better today. JB is off shopping. He left 90 min. ago. He does get distracted.

How wonderful that your eagle eye found that hearing aid. They are terribly expensive. The Victoria selfie are glorious. Hope you're feeling better today, AC. :-)

Those earrings are really you.

I am missing my coffee break friend as well. We may try such a gathering too.

How fortunate you found the hearing aid and could return it.

Happy Belated Victoria Day, Your Majesties! And what a good deed that you could return that hearing aid to its owner. It looks very like my own.

Happy Victoria Day late, your royal highnesses! I love the idea of the coffee date. It's great that you could locate the owner of the hearing aid. There are definite advantages to social media at times.

Nice crown on a pretty woman! Enjoy your coffee with friends. And how lucky that woman was to get her hearing aid back.

I wear hearing aids and they are a little difficult to put in and then feel if they are still in.
