I almost died from a heart attack !

This evening, after a long day of hard labour*, I took the subway to head back home.
As I was getting into the train, my right shoe got caught into the doorway. Thinking that the door would soon close hardly, I disengaged my foot of the shoe in order to prevent any ankle breaking.
then my heart stopped : with horror I saw my beloved shoed falling and disappear between the gate and the rails !!

I immediatly jumped out of the wagon on one foot, disoriented. One of my favourite shoes was lying down there, unreachable, alone !!!

One foot bare, I had to get to the upper level and ask the employess for help, feeling all of sudden embarassed and stupid ...
They called me Cinderella and told me I wasn't te first one. I could sit in the office while they were getting my shoe without stopping the traffic (one train every 2 minutes).
After 10 minutes, they came back, gave me my shoe back and told me to get home before midnight ... (did I mention that the trains are orange ?)

I could go back home safely with both shoes ; aren't they lovely ? (mine are black)

* I came back from a 2 weeks/2200 km vacation today, discovering our new offices, tracking the printers in the corridors... My day was actually like a blur ...

Initiallement, j'ai créé mon premier blog (dont je n'ai pas pas encore recopié toutes les archives ici) afin de participer à une sorte de bourse d'échange entre tricoteuses anglophones.
Mais Livejournal propose peu d'options gratuite (hébergement de photos, stats ...), donc me voici chez Canalblog.

Et puis j'ai autant besoin de faire travailler mes neurones que mes mains. Mais tu noteras quelques entrées en français... principalement dues à la paresse ...
