From Online Shopping to Socks and Sandals

Isn’t online shopping great? You press a few keys, click your mouse and Hey Presto, new stuff without leaving the house. I know there are security issues, but what the heck, I like to live dangerously. I am telling you this because, I have recently become the proud owner of my own little bit of t’internet real estate. OK, it’s not much, and so far I have done little with it (so I’m not going to share the url Dear Reader, maybe another time) but it’s mine, to do with as I wish.

Online shopping is even better when you get actual items that you can hold, unless you are like Mr Blogs, who favours the Amazon cheapie section where he purchases almost no budget 80s B movies for only 10p. I have tried to tell him there is a reason why they are only 10p, but to no avail. I’m more of a book buyer, although I do find myself buying titles I would never even pick up in 3D shops. Carol Vorderman’s detox diet for example. Why? What possessed me? Like I was ever going to follow that. I’m really not the kind of person who could live on cabbage soup. The yoga book I bought a few years ago was also a mistake, full of great info, but the pics put me off. A guy in a disturbingly small pair of shorts. Some men could have got away with the look, Johnny Depp or a French footballer for example, but this man was really best kept covered up. This brings me to the subject of men’s clothing generally. It will soon be summer, and we all know what that means. Oh yes, socks and sandals. Socks and sandals do not look good on anyone. If you are two years old, and have no choice, then there is an excuse. If you are pushing fifty, then you really should know better. So, any readers who feel drawn toward this style of footwear, please thing again. Well, unless you wish to look like a Geography teacher from the 1960s.
