Meanwhile, in the boot room...

My new go anywhere dog walking boots (no, they are not electric - the battery and charger were found in a cupboard and I have absolutely no idea what it powered). The boots are about to get the seams fully waterproofed. 

In my forties I took a size nine shoe, now half way through my sixties I take a size twelve.  At this rate If I live to be a hundred I'll need to source my footwear in a Clown shop.
