Bit big for rellies. A crow or magenpie, p’raps.
How annoying, Fishy
I too would not be happy about that
Can they be repaired, or have they died ?
I take great care of my Shoesies , but do expect them to be fit for purpose!
A particular annoyance to me is when I see summat that looks suitable, & then they turn out to be plastic - often hidden in tiny print that the upper is made of ‘other’ materials
I don’t mind fabric shoes/sandals, if that’s what I am buying, but I don’t want plastic masquerading as leather
I appreciate that many people won’t wear leather for their own reasons , but I do
Cheese & Ham Toasties for Lunch, if anyone would like some

I blame the Dolman Saxlil Corporation…
I wondered if it was yer Bruvver in his Bovver Boots…

I shall be taking them to a menders, Carinthia. I mean an actual menders, who put new soles on shoes. But I fear they may say that they can do nothing about them. And after that (since they have been worn fewer than ten times, I suspect) I shall be publicising the useless nature of modern Hush Puppies.
Me Bruvver does not leave footprints. At least, nobody’s been willing to say that they’re his…
Quite, Fishy
The same man looks after my shoes who has done for years. He started as an apprentice, & bought the business
And he gives me 10% discount

Fat & prosperous magenpie across the road…
Are magenpies grate big birds?
I have been making dinner
Beef empanadas with a corn and onion salad
In the Sparrerly Taxonomy they are, 'cos they aren’t small and tseepy, and they aren’t ducks.
My parrot can sound like a duck
And make many rood noises
She also has the sound of a glass of wine being poured off to perfection
I cannot think where she heard that as I have had her since she was a 12 week old chick
I would’ve thought the sound of a glass of beer, or gin…
Think of the nice glug glug sound of the first glass from a nice bottle of wine being poured and the nice pop sort of noise of a wine bottle opening…
Many times my hopes have been dashed by such a noise from the wicked wee bird
And there was great rejoicing in the Gus. For the Gusly Ma has made ginger ice cream. Not much of a one for ice cream in general, is Gus, but this is divine.
And I am not listening to TA. And the snerr is melting away, much to the relief of poor birdies and me. And the resident cat decided my freshly washed hair needed Attention, grabbed my head in her forepaws and fettled me properly.
Wafting contentment, ginger ice cream and pitchers in a Cellarly direction.

From the Pub’ ?
I missed most of TA last night, & was daft enuff to hear it this afternoon instead
When will I learn?
Cheers, Gus

Very Happy Sigh.

And slivers of Pickled Ginger
Absolutely delicious

Oh - is Pawel back?
I made empanadas with a corn and lime salad
There may be a taste for the fast cellar dwellers
Running away from the table where the platter is plonked
I have seen the speed of hungry sparrers
