Our first year of marriage was spent on Bougainville Island in PNG.

You made your own fun then, so we got into running and playing squash.

On one Sunday fun run it was bucketing with rain. My husband had gone back to Australia for a conference, and while he was there he bought us both a pair of very expensive runners, plus running gear.

We wore them on the run. We also won two huge umbrellas and a few other prizes, which we left on the deck as everything was so wet.

We went inside to shower, leaving behind our wet running gear, and came back out half an hour after to find everything GONE!

My husband was a Florsheim lover. I'm off to tell him your story. 🤣🤣🤣

Plastic shoes...did that get him a sympathy vote???
