Forced

to buy a new pair of shoes today!!!

Reason being my current pair have worn out.

There are holes in the soles.

The laces have barely enough left in them to stay in one length.

They are no longer waterproof and I cannot wear them on wet days.

They are falling apart..literally.

I found myself with time to spare this afternoon so I went a-wandering.

I snook into a shoe shop where I never go.

I tried the patience of the lovely shop lady.

She did her utmost to suit my difficult right foot.

I hated the ECCO ones..not a good look for me.

I hated the mock croc ones she showed me even more!!

I wanted flat...absolutely flat ones.

Shoes for every single day that don't hurt.

We finally  found a pair I liked that were comfortable too.

But the laces were too short.

Nice shop lady ran off to the shoemakers and returned with

longer laces.

I decided I ought to now buy them.

So I did, thanks to some perfectly timed birthday money that

came in the post yesterday!!!

I might wear them tomorrow.

No, I have to wear them tomorrow because they are all I have!
