Well, that was yesterday. Today's challenge (apart from having to review a 600 page novel written mainly in an irritating present tense) is a 500 word piece on surrealism in fashion for my college art course. At this stage, having exhausted my knowledge of same, i.e. Schiaparelli's shoe hat, I am being to wonder if I can pad it out with an erudite discussion about odd socks. Are they truly surreal or just a product of bad laundry management and poor logistics? Any contribution towards the remaining 400 words would be appreciated.
On another surrealistic note, Freecycle listings are a great source for the social commentator. Looking through yesterday's offerings on the Hastings list, I see that someone wants Gary Rhodes and has recently taken possession of a black dustbin and some cycling overshoes. Have the police been informed? The strangest offering I've seen so far was a burnt saucepan (I thought about it but decided against it).

I am sure the missing socks , parted from their partner ,end up in a parallel world similar to the one where Douglas Adams supposed missing biro's go seconds after you put them down,but unlike the biro's that slip through a pen shape portal , the gate to the sock afterlife is an invisible black hole built into all washing machines by the manufacturers who are in a world wide collaboration with hosiers .On a more practical level though perhaps someone should start a lost sock website ,to be viewed by the owners of recently separated socks to find a second mate ....a job surely for the down at heel.
