Dunlop Wellies

 So ... it's the time of mellow fruitfulness, or whatever the Mr Kipling advert used to say. And yes, before you all write in to expose my stupidity, I am aware that it's an extract from a poem, but my A-Level English Literature put me off of that kind of thing for years. Perhaps I should persevere with Frank Skinner's Poetry Podcast? 

Anyway, as ever I digress. Last week I purchased some green Dunlop Wellington boots from Amazon so that I can stomp through the local woods and do the gardening in. I know that Hunter wellies are the fashionista choice, but they're way too expensive and even if they offer a size 9 the calf width would be far too narrow.

Doc Martens Balfour Sandals

Regular readers will be aware that I tend to buy shoes in fits and starts, hence my double DM purchase during the last sale. As it's summer I intend to write about the velcro sandals 👡.

I'm usually incredibly faithful to my Birkenstocks, but fancied a change. I like fugly footwear with thick soles, so the Balfour sandals seemed perfect. I am wearing them as I type and best of all, they're cleanable with Cif.



They are quite long and wide, but the adjustability makes them a snug fit.

COVID-19/Coronavirus and Social Isolation

Yep, the world's gone pandemic mad.  This means even more time will be spent wearing my indoor clothes and by that I mean my comfies - Primark seems a place that I tend to frequent to purchase such garments.  Please take a look at my slippers, they were marked down to an impressive £2 in the sale and are a man's style in a size M, which is a UK8-9 and they fit perfectly.  They contain memory foam, which is slowly sinking, but they are still fairly supportive, although I have trouble walking up our stairs in them.  Quite frankly, the stairs in our suburban semi are far too steep and shallow - my mum hates them and according to a previous owner, an old woman once dropped dead on the bend of them them(!)



Anyway, yeah, feet and all that - here's a couple of lovely pictures for you all to enjoy.  I am not altogether sure why Blogger, in its infinite wisdom has decided to stick both pictures together as it looks like my feet have been chopped off on the second shot, but hey - who cares?
