Do you honestly think you will be able to resist photographing the next one you find . . . . ? :shrug:

I didn't know lost balls were a thing? Seems at though they have quite a following!

Strange how you always lose one of them.

My shed is full of left handed gardening gloves.

My sock drawer follows the same pattern. :grin:

I once read that lost socks are the larval stage of wire coathangers.

The writer theorised that they creep into dark wardrobes to metamorphise, which explains why you can have a completely empty new wardrobe - and the next time you open the door there is a wire coathanger hanging on the rail! :laughs:

I used to check all the lost footwear I found along the beach.
Lefts always outnumbered the Rights and only twice did I find a matching pair, best thing about beach sandals is the high strength velcro straps, a few mins. with a penknife and Id have another rod wrap.

Of course if your Nick Cave you can suddenly 'discover' the attraction of lost gloves (there's been loads on Flickr and elsewhere for years) you can put some pics in a book with a pretentious commentary and sell it for £45. :laughs:
