Ready for Action

Today was my exercise class and I also joined a walking group before the class. I sure am feeling it now... it must be doing me good.

Over the weekend my new shoes gave away after wearing them twice. I took them back today and got a exchange. I paid a bit more and got a pair that are like my old ones that I brought just before the earthquakes and they have walked around Europe and I am still wearing them.

After that I was going to go to Ilam Gardens seeing I was over that way but the wind was strong and cold so thought I would go back through the city and get some shots there... every road I went down was blocked. I just came home again without a shot. My shoes had to be my blip for today.

Choosing Shoes

by Frida Wolfe

New shoes, new shoes,
Red and pink and blue shoes.
Tell me, what would you choose,
If they'd let us buy?

Buckle shoes, bow shoes,
Pretty pointy-toe shoes,
Strappy, cappy low shoes;
Let's have some to try.

Bright shoes, white shoes,
Dandy-dance-by-night shoes,
Perhaps-a-little-tight shoes,
Like some? So would I.

BUT
Flat shoes, fat shoes,
Stump-along-like-that shoes,
Wipe-them-on-the-mat shoes,
That's the sort they'll buy.
