チョコレートだったら すぐキャッチ

Ann's looking forward to 2005 and the challenges it brings with it. She
feels very lucky and for a very good reason: "It was 5:30/6am, a good time
to be down at the beach, before everyone else. A run along the shore from
Scarborough to Trigg was always a good way to start a summer's day. I had
finished the run, had a quick dip, and then returned home for a healthy
breakfast, shower and change, before heading into work. The last thing to
put on before heading in was my jewellery. 'Oh no! My watch!' I remembered
wrapping it in my towel before I went into the water. It must've fallen
out when I picked up my towel and I'd completely forgotten about it. The
watch was special. It had been a gift from a very close, Japanese friend,
and not a cheap gift either; it was a Charles Jourdan.
By now it was close to 8:30 and it was getting hot. When I got down to
the beach, the sun had well and truly risen and heaps of people were either
walking along or lying on the beach. so I walked down to where I thought
I had put my towel. On the way, in the sand, I spotted an emery board, and
I knew I must've been close because so I kept on looking. I started walking
up and down, looking in the sand, and being careful to tread gently in case
the watch sank further into the sand. Two ladies nearby asked if I was looking
for something, and so they joined in the search. No more than 5 minutes
later I saw it. There it was, slightly further away from where I thought
I'd been. It was there! I couldn't believe it. I thanked the women. I think
they could see the look of delight on my face. Driving back home, with my
watch on, I cried. I said a big prayer of thanks. Then I called my father
from my mobile and told him what had happened. (I had to tell someone)
