blistered soles

so, i bought cheapo razors -->
shaved my legs -->
ripped em to shreds -->
in order to avoid scafing of tender skin i had to wear a knee length skirt -->
said skirt is made from a pillow case and reduces my usual long stride to geisha small steps -->
walking thus and with a heavy back pack throws my centre of balance off completely and forces my feet forward in my flip flops -->
leads to shredding of said feet -->
leads to me walking barefoot half way home sans flip flops -->
the road thru th'east cut the feet off me as they'd say in dublin -->
so now i find myself typing in the evening sun in the yard with my feet soaking in a bowl of refreshingly cool water...

the moral of this story is, do not skimp on your blades

or, make do with hairy legs...

whilst stoically battling on, i have been entertained with a few gems from You Tube, kindly recced by the wee bro, who has taken to playing role of purveryor of computer based treats during these heatwaved days...by the way, did i tell you he and his dear wife are in the gestational process of becoming parents and thus making me an aunt?
