RIP lovely flip flops

Yesterday was a sad day, when my flip flops finally snuffed it. They are broken beyond repair. Well, I say they, It is only one that has broken beyond repair. And they were brand new when they were given to me just eight years ago by Emily my wife, who was just my girlfriend at the time.

It is very frustrating really, that one of them is perfectly useable, and only last year I discarded 2 flip flops when one was also fine; and if only I had the knowledge that in the future I would be in the same position, I could have made a pair again. Maybe when I replace them, I shall purchase 2 identical pairs and wear them out evenly, so when one breaks, I'll always have a spare.

Today, my feet just haven't been the same, both sheathed in boot socks and shoes, with no air allowed to circulate freely around the toes.

So thus ends a chapter, with so many happy times, my flip flops and I have shared, but life must not end here, and we must move on, regardless of our footwear condition. Sometimes we forget how lucky we are, to even have owned a pair of flip flops, so even though my flip flops have gone, the memories will always stay.

RIP lovely flip flops.

Does anyone happen to know if there is a flip flop recycling bin?
