The weather seems particularly dismal at the moment: cold and wet and grey, with barely enough hours of daylight to make it worthwhile getting out of bed in the morning. And it's a long walk into work from where I park the car – not miles, I mean, else I would drive a bit closer, but a good 10 minutes' walk, which is about as close as the double yellow lines let you park – so that I end up soaked and miserable when it's raining hard. My feet have been suffering more than they deserve, but then I realised that there was quite a large hole in the sole of my shoe which was letting in water.
I am not looking for sympathy here: perhaps I do tend to hold on to items of clothing longer than is decent, but that is more to do with a reluctance to go out shopping rather than my wallowing in abject poverty. But if you feel the need to make a contribution, please do. Though preferably not by sending actual pairs of shoes, as I did manage to nip out the other weekend and buy a pair. Black. And, as far as I can tell, water-tight.
