knobby k-new shoes
I bought some new running shoes on Saturday, and was finally able to put their pristine whiteness to the test last night. Somewhere under seven miles, I noticed two things - i) new shoes make all the difference, especially when the old ones are nearly two years past their best ii) no matter how comfortable new shoes are, you'll always risk blistering. Stopped just in time, methinks, as my feet are fine this morning. Have I mentioned that running is the best thing in the Universe besides rowing? Oooh, I haven't tried Kayaking yet, as I was reminded last night whilst running (the River Cam is very well used for recreation). Oh, iii) miracles can happen, and new shoes that are whiter than an Englishman's legs in Winter can escape mud, puddles and general grime, no matter how rustic the route. Next time, we'll try it in Prada.

Wow! Just came across your blogsite by accident. I am truly amazed by your style of writing! Excellent work!!! Well done!
Hmmm, don't get running I'm afraid.
And when you say rowing do you mean in a boat or arguing.
Or even arguing in a boat?
I like both (but not arguing in a boat).
Nor did I, once upon a time, but I started it more out of necessity than bizarre whim. As I became better at it, it got more and more enjoyable.
Hee, I mean rowing as in Cambridge vs. Oxford down the Thames. Of course you knew that I meant sport, but by rowing, I meant in a long shell rather than a stubby rowboat. Arguing can be pretty sporty too, mind, but if it has to be on water, better on a rowboat than a barge.
Horizon, kind of you to say; I'm amazed that you're amazed, but nonetheless appreciative - thank you! Incidentally, your use of CSS is really nice, with particular reference to the blue, coastal vista you've adopted as your background. Most evocative... kinda relaxing to stare at.
