pebblerockerWhen it's summer and all the ground is dry I keep my gumboots in the wardrobe out of the way. When it was still winter I wouldn't have dreamt of wearing jandals. Spring's in between, which means my front door is cluttered up with gumboots, jandals AND sneakers, in a space that's barely wide enough to carry shopping through. Why can't they design houses with a space for taking off shoes? Why do I have to keep tripping over footwear? Why are houses designed for those uncivilised people who wear their shoes inside?
I always get uncomfortable staying with the in-laws. Everyone gets up in the morning and puts on their shoes, and to me that's a signal that we're leaving, imminently, and I get all jittery because I think I'm going to have to go out without my breakfast.
My man's family is posher than mine. I bet they wear shoes inside because they know a vacuuming will eventuate within the next week.
