It's autumn and all thoughts turn to ... blisters?
I love summer, who doesn't? I think my favourite thing about summer has to be the shedding of clothes. Not full frontal nudity you understand but the first time you go to work without a coat.... wearing t-shirts instead of jumpers, skirts instead of trousers... not having to wash 57 pairs of socks every week.... that sort of thing. The sock thing, in particular, I love. Exposing my toes to the fresh air in delicate, pretty sandals instead of frumpy winter shoes. I don't know why but it's the best thing about summer.
Then the clouds roll in, the wind turns chill and autumn is in the air. And the sensible shoes come back out of the wardrobe....
... and with them come the blisters. You'd think all that exposure to the elements would be good for the feet but, no, all it does is make them soft and weak and the first time you put on proper shoes they rebel. They scream and howl their defiance at you, finally erupting into blisters in a last, desperate bid to escape their leathery prison. It works too for a time because, after their first autumnal outing, you can't wear shoes again for days, not until the blisters heal.... ironic eh?
All I can say is, I'm sorry feet but I have no choice, now please stop punishing me....

What you need is to soak your feet in a nice hot bath and have a glass of wine.
That should make you feel a little beter.
Oh, and don't forget the Mars bar.

Aaahh - I can identify with the sock thing, and the T-shirt thing. Not sure about the skirt though - maybe I should try it?
I wear industrial toetector shoes all week so my feet get used to a bit of abuse. But bare feet in summer - briiliant!
Until I crack my little toe on the table leg ...
