Jandals BAD


OK not the smartest idea. It’s a muggy “casual Friday” so I’m in a skirt and tee shirt today and I decided to wear Jandal/flipflop/thongs to work. It’s also RAINING. The polished concrete/pebble tiles surrounding the Hikuwai plaza were like ICE.

I was coming down the stairs toward William’s crèche (below the tree you can see) and fell on my butt. I’m ok just pissed off.


I was being careful. I’d put Will down and said “Go slowly. It’s slippery” because I’d already seen one guy fall on the stairs. Whilst sitting in my dirty puddle comforting a very traumatised wee boy another girl slipped right beside me. ALL three of us were in Jandals!

I was looking for a picture of some Jandals and came across THIS article on the dangers of these hazardous footwear . I might have to start thinking of wearing different shoes to work.

Hope you dry off soon.. the dryer things in the toilet might be handy if you can back yourself up to one...

Thongs (see I used the correct terminology for my country of residence) are death traps when it's wet.
I hope your posterior isn't too sore
