It's official. I am officially elderly. Today I proved it. I bought myself some slippers. I am funny when it comes to slippers - I loathe them. The slip-on type with no heel support I fall out of and find I get very close to falling down stairs if I attempt to use stairs wearing such footwear. The traditional type that are like a woolly-fabric or velvety slip on but with the bit round the heel there, I still fall out of, as they tend to sag off my feet. Today I bought a little pair of short, soft fabric ugg-boot type things. They are *ideal* Now I will never be seen wearing them out of the house. They are indeed *ugly* But they make an ideal house slipper for me. Being a boot shape, they don't fall off my feet, so I am stable on stairs. They are plain black, so they don't look like a traditional old-lady slipper, and they are fleecy inside so my feet are snug and warm. The sole is stiff-ish as opposed to being completely flexible, so there is yet more stability there. Hurrah! As I said - ugly wotsits.. but they are exactly what I need as a slipper!
Bring on my bedjacket and *crochet!
*I was going to say knitting, but thought Arch might be upset if I associate knitting with being elderly....
I'll forgive this time as it's your first offence against Ducks.
