“ oh Darling John , you are in flip flops!”
Chic Eleanor was disappointed as she’d planned our early morning walk to be across the fields by the side of the Gop.
I had remembered by posh Northface jacket but had let the side down with my flip flops
“ Only you” Eleanor tutted
We walked across the wet fields anyway and typically I fell out of the said flip flops so many times my feet were stained with sheep poo by the time we got back
I didn’t mind too much.
It was refreshing enough
John - You and your flip flops x 🗑
ReplyDeleteI kniw
Deleteglad you enjoyed the walk anyway - also you got some "grounding" in!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a lovely day
DeleteShe knows you SO well. I think sheep poo makes your feet as soft as a babys bottom ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteSoft as a sheep's bottom!
DeleteShe does know me well and likes me all of the same
DeleteSheep poo squelching between the toes! You need to buy some walking shoes/boots. xx
ReplyDeleteI’m exaggerating as always
DeleteMy cousin recently broke two bones in her ankle when she slipped off her steps while wearing her favourite flip flops. I adore the convenience of flip flops but I'm now more mindful when I wear them. Whenever I put them on, my cousin's grizzly ankle pops into my mind.
ReplyDeleteI did that on my back step in Sheffield once and both flip flops shot into next doors garden
DeleteEleanor is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNext time, wear the Crocs.
I’ve binned them
DeleteJust get some proper, supportive shoes!
ReplyDeleteOh I just can’t be arsed
DeleteIt is hard to give up the flip flops when Summer warmth is still with us. A quick wash under the hose or dip in to a stream and your poop covered feet are good to go.
ReplyDeleteFox dung is worse and badger- good grief the smell would demand the evils of all time to hastily flee. Sheep poo is rather better in smellness. I have a story for you, a couple moved into a village wanting a 'country' life; the wife complained about the noise of animals and the smell of 'the countryside'. She was so demanding that she sent her husband to complain to the farmer - the farmer complied and put 20 pigs in the field....she did did not complain again.
ReplyDeleteLove it……country smells never bother me..countryvways don’t either ……the only thing I complain about is those yappy fucking dogs next door
DeleteReport 'em to the Council.
DeleteTa for the morning chuckle. I'm with Chic Eleanor!
ReplyDeleteWhen I fo out, I put on my Birkiees.
Hugs!
Unlikely !:)
DeleteI'm picturing you in a NF pparka and flip flops---top half sweating, feet blue w cold. And sheep poop.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a lovely and rather attractive picture don’t you agree
Delete“ Only you” Eleanor tutted
ReplyDeleteLMAOOO oh, I kind of love her.
XOXO
She has a way about her for sure
DeleteAh, yes, you would find sheep poo refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI meant the dewy grass
DeleteSure you did.
DeleteGoing for a walk in flip flops? Bonkers!
ReplyDeleteI know , a lunatic
DeleteI like my "mandals" but I don't think I could wear flip-flops now. Too much sliding around. (Especially when lubricated with sheep poo!)
ReplyDeleteThe “ clip clop” can be somewhat irritating
DeleteI always wear my flip flops from April until the end of October so I totally get it. My grown up son says that I always inappropriate footwear, I am known for it, but feet wash easily enough! Lovely photos of the three of you.
ReplyDeleteAt LAST asoul who understands
DeleteI blew out a flip flop last week (but didn't step on a poptop). Outside picking blackberries with my daughter. Absolutely inappropriate footwear and I had to chuck them out. Darn it!
ReplyDeleteE
Lol, mine arnt proper flip flops just beach sandals
DeleteGoing downhill in them on wet grass is suicidal behaviour
Could be worse, crocks
ReplyDeleteThey are in the bin
DeleteI think we should start a club. Inappropriate clothing is my forté too.
ReplyDeleteWith gravy stains?
DeleteI love my flip flops but would struggle going for a "proper" walk in them because of the sliding around. Makes me think of when an outing asks us to wear "appropriate clothing" which always makes me giggle.
ReplyDeleteI’m an idiot
DeleteNot sure the beard suits you. Perhaps it you side it straight? :)
ReplyDeleteA ramble with Chic Eleanor - in flip flops! What were you thinking! Send me as a stand-in next time lol.
ReplyDeleteLol , she’d love to hear she’s got a fan club
DeleteI hope you didn;t let Roger lick your feet - we don't want to get him into bad habits
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not , Dorothy would flatten him
DeleteLovely to read such a positive blog. Glad Roger has fitted in so quickly. Always a concern how new pets will fit in your pack x
ReplyDeleteI hope you meant that it was the WALK that was refreshing and not the sheep poo. Question though? Don't your dogs want to roll in the stuff?
