Temperatures drop (just a Little)….. and the Mystery Returns

Glove-20.10-a

Followers of my Blog will know that my footsteps in the winter months are dogged by discoveries of ‘Lost Gloves’…..The temperatures have dropped, not by a lot but enough to encourage some folk to dig out their gloves.  Not just that but they continue to drop them en-route.  The mystery has always been… 

“ Why are all the adult gloves we find LEFT handed?….and to add to the conundrum when we find the occasional a child’s glove it is RIGHT handed? ”

20th October and the first discoveries of the winter have appeared, and yes, both adult gloves and both are Left handed!

So anyone with any answers to the Left/Right mystery please speak up…….

Can I add that it would seem that ‘Glove Finders’  are a considerate bunch as the gloves are always hung, draped, placed just as you see them.

  2. If you walk with a child, you tend to use your left hand to hold their right – it keeps *your* right hand free for sweets, tissues and other child-required actions. And the glove falls out of a pocket, I would guess…

    2. Just a further thought….as we get far more adult gloves then your theory I guess wouldn’t work. Unless of course adults are far more careless than kids; which of course the facts suggest that they are otherwise why would we get mainly adult gloves!
      Stupid I know but a puzzle all the same.

  4. I’m starting to think you have a reader who occasionally thinks, “You know, I haven’t put out a glove for him in a while….”

    1. If that is the case over the past two years they will have ‘thrown away’ over 60 left handed gloves. But I will keep an eye open for those folk walking about with left hand in pocket and right hand gloved!!
