I went to a lace fair wearing odd shoes once!
It was an early start for the Ford's Christmas fair so still dark when
I got up. I didn't want to disturb Terry more than necessary so found
my shoes in a very dim light. I had two pairs of shoes which were very
similar, one pair navy and one pair dark grey. I managed to get one
from each pair! By the time I realised what had happened I was sitting
on the coach half way to Birmingham.
The thing is that just a couple of weeks earlier a similar conversation
had come up in class with one of my students saying about how she'd
managed to go out wearing odd shoes!

Actually, I did that when teaching at the University about 25 years
ago - so I can't even claim it as a senior moment. I drove to the
commuter parking lot and got out of the car to get onto the bus to go
to the classroom building - and bingo! - slippers. No time to drive
back, no shoes in the office. Sigh. At least it wasn't snowy.
Have you don't anything laughable/embarassing, and how did you deal
with it?
Well, yesterday, my hsuband droped me at the ferry in Hull to deliver
my weekly german lesson.
I got out of the car, looked down and I had my slippers on.
Not just any slippers, my old ones withe the holes in the toes and
covered in dog hairs.
DH suggested to nip into town and get some sandals or something, but
there was not time.
I went on board and just told reception that I felt so at home here
by now that I had come in my slippers.
I did take them off in class, telling the students that in the summer
I never wear anything on my feet.
It gave everyone a good laugh though.
