Oh Boris ...

I have long had a very disturbing thing for Boris Johnson. I rationalise it away by saying that he's a cyclist, so aside from his questionable use of his penis and occasionally nutty policies, he must be a decent chap underneath. [Poll #1480605]

I'm a big believer in repairing good things - but then, my baby saddle is over 100 years old.

Having said that, shoes are the bane of my life, as I have little money to spend on them, and very difficult feet to fit - so even expensive shoes do not survive the heels of d00m, and it's very hard to justify spending money on shoes when the inside of the heels will be in pieces within a couple of months of use.

I have had zippers replaced on suitcases, and I do make home repairs to items of clothing that are worth it. My darning is awful, but then I buy cheap socks too (see above).

If, some time in my future, I did actually find shoes that fit me, and were comfortable, and in good enough style to be 'timeless' (and if I trusted my judgement of fashion one little bit) I would be prepared to spend money on them, and have them repaired ad infinitum.

Have you thought about asking the people at Preston Zly if they could mock something up for you? They do a lot of bespoke cordwaining and have some lovely styles. That shop we couldn't get to in time in Fitzroy stocks their stuff. Otherwise, pick a design you like and go shoemaker shopping!

If I'm ever actually employed again, and have more than the housekeeping money to get by on, I will definitely look into it. Until then, I will remain barefoot and barren in the kitchen. :D

YOU WILL BE! I have also thought that I must learn how to make shoes one day, so if I ever get my act together, I will experiment on you!

I would like to say something profound and witty at the same time. I've got nuthin'.

Sorry, were you talking? Can't think, contemplating shagging Bradley ...
