I'm thinking of taking the alternative to the glitter wedges down to the shop, to see if they have any cat milk.
But it's raining, the route is hardly well paved - a problem as they have stiletto heels - and they almost definitely won't sell it anyway.
And I think it's too soon for me and these boot/ shoes to go out.
Although with concentration I can even walk in the park in my red shoes now (very uneven paths and up/ downhill stretches. So I can learn.

Maybe I'll take my go-go boots.
Then even if there is no cat-milk at least I've achieved something.

I start cooking dinner in about an hour and a half, and I worked this morning, walking there and back so there's that already on the achieving front, it's not all about shoes.

Decisions, decisions.

We learned to walk in heels by wearing thick socks and vacuuming. Be careful you don't fall and twist an ankle. Vanity be damned!

Turns out I was fine. And they did have the catmilk.

Took the red shoes to Luton hospital today.
Was glad to take them off when I got home, blisters on the soles of my feet.

That's the ache I remember, the reason I used to end up dancing and walking home barefoot, or getting a piggyback from an obliging young lad. I lost a boot in a nightclub that way. We were staying on a boat, so we got a taxi to the marina and I was carried onboard like a new bride. And no, I didn't sleep with him.

I just need to wear the red shoes and alternate silver stilettoes out of the house and stand in them for a while. I'll build up immunity. The wedges I will continue to practice in. Just not outside. Look, people learn to walk on stilts and millions of women wear heels as high as the ones I am acclimatising as everyday footwear (not the glitter wedges I admit, but catwalk model wear shoes just as silly.)

Anyway three women said they loved my shoes. It was the mile walking home after having them on for 6 hours that was the eye-roller. Like this

Hopefully none. they're 14 and 15. besides, they wash it down with Chlorine.


I regularly buy 30+lbs of pasta in one go, but I think this was my record for one type
