I am wearing new shoes!











They were £6! It is extraordinary. I am trying not to think of the poor people who made them being paid tuppence a week and beaten by large men and locked in tiny, cramped, dark rooms and being shouted at a lot.

I do not like them so much anymore.

*sigh*

BUT! Have I mentioned I have nice feet? They are by far and away my very favourite bit of myself (and along with my ears, the only bit I can really claim to like. Properly. Without thinking "Oh if only it were in some way less. Now did I start this in brackets? It seems I did. Best end it then.)

Anyway. None of this was the point. The point was that this morning when I was waiting for the bus I saw a woman whose toenail was literally four metres long. It was the big-toe nail on her left foot. It almost made her trip over as she clambered aboard the bus.

Why? Why would one grow a toe-nail of such length? I cannot think of any useful purpose.

Also. I love my hub. But he believes in cynicism and I think that is a pile of old balls. Soon, I might write more about this.

I sure know how to dangle a good cliff-hanger.

You really should provide a photo of these shoes, you know. Otherwise, how are we to know if £6 was a good price or not?

Anx you are of course entirely correct. How remiss of me. Coming up.

Ooh, they're lovely! Much lovlier than an extraordinarily long toe nail (ick!)

Ang I am glad I have your approval, I do regard you as somewhat of an expert. I thought I saw you yesterday, walking down Shaftsbury Avenue, but was in a bit of a hurry, so couldn't investigate...

How nice to really like one's feet! Myself, I do not have lovely feet. I try and think of them as being quite "functional," which, I guess, is really all they *have* to be...

Lovely shoes! And lovely feet! I suddenly find I - Miss FIona - NEED new shoes. Didn't even have to google it. Oh, and I too think cynicism is a pile of old balls

Miss Tickle said...

Meesha it is true, to have non-functional feet would be rubbish. Love your functional feet.

Loveliest Fiona why thank you! I can believe that you, Miss Fiona (lovely) need new shoes! Hoorah! Buy some! Hoorah!
