Dress boots or shoes, boots/shoes to be worn when going out dressed in an evening or dinner suit, not usually worn when hunting yellow stickers in Morrison's for that it us usually trainers or general wear shoes

[Nicos]

Rary, you have more shoes than me (by a long way).

Same here!

Good Morning All Not raining and quite mild. Have a good day

Mornin Flon'all
Warm enough here last night to leave the window open for Hibou!...and boy has she been in and out all night
Not quite sure what today will bring.
I have stonks of domestic stuff to do as well as gardening, preserving, crafting plus helping a friend put together some IKEA kitchen units
I do sometimes wonder why I keep myself so rediculously busy

[Mr Bones]

Morning all. Mild and misty. Went looking for wild mushrooms yesterday and not one, it's just too dry (to the point of being dusty under the trees). Seems ages since we had a proper downpour.
Funny you should mention Ikea Nicos, that's where we're planning to visit today.

Happy Mondays whatever you're up to

Morning All

Mild and the sun is just poking its head through the mist. Possibly the plots today....

Happy Monday

[Nannysally99]

Morning everyone, hope you all had a good weekend
Not too bad a start to the day here, not too nippy outside
Amazed to hear about Rary’s shoe collection. Is he related to Imelda?
I have multiples of sandals and boots. Dress shoes is one black low heeled court, for funerals and the like.
Booked another trip to Las Vegas for May 2019, must get back on the diet
Have a lovely day you lot

Bet he's not like Jamie Fraser (from Outlander) though

[Thelma Sanders]

A little warmer this morning, but no sign of the sun

Waiting in for a parcel, so starting on Gson's birthday cake while I wait.

Have a good'un

[Bren In Pots]

Morning a misty start but its almost all cleared away the garden looked pretty covered in spiders webs.

Terrible news about your hiking boots, Rary. Could you not find anyone to put a new sole on them?

So, today's news: very dull weather at the moment. Rain still forecast. Had a firewood delivery (at long last) yesterday, so am planning on keeping warm at least. Work for me. Not decided on lunch, but definitely carrot and coriander soup for supper. Yum!

Have a good day, everyone.

Just so's you know, I deleted a huge paragraph about my footwear. I thought it interesting at the time, but realised before posting that it wasn't. Just goes to show what an exciting life I lead.

Edited: Dog not going to the vet's today after all. Emergency at the vet's, so she'll go in a couple of weeks.

Good afternoon all,Rary you got a lot more foot ware than I have,well,i have been a very good girl and altered a pair of trousers for MR,i'ts all an experiment to see how he copes,if all ok,i will make some new ones from scratch again,i still have the pattern and lots of fabric ext,all gathered over the years,i have a lump of the same fabric,so was able to replace the waist band completely,sooo,i let out darts,side seams and back ext,to make it wider,then replaced with a elasticated band,i left the fly intact for use,i was fed up with seeing him in jogging bottoms,so they on trial for a couple of days,i hate alterations,but i have to see if it works out before cutting and waisting fabric,the other pic is some of my collection

[Thelma Sanders]

LD, it's great to see someone with a fabric stash like mine - Love it

The only thing you keep a tight grip on is your wee bawbee. I don't know what that means but it sounds like you.

The Scots bawbee was equivalent to a happny which you would know as a half penny, it was of very low value that where the saying of, I wouldn't give you a bawbee for it comes from, and that saying is still used quite regularly, but you are right I would keep a tight grip of it if I had one

They did have new soles fitted Snoop, that was the second set that I was referring to, I used to go walking every week, it was the legs that failed you could have left the info about you footwear in just to show that women can leave us gents in the shade when it comes to footwear
